Make Soul

was nervous. Luckily, Ari agreed to do my makeup despite her busy schedule — and that alone was a huge relief. I wanted a soft, natural look — nothing too bold or dramatic. I still wanted to look like myself, just the best version of me. At the same time, I wanted to look amazing both in person and in the photos. On the big day, I completely forgot to account for morning traffic — and suddenly realized I had barely any time left for hair and makeup. I thought, “This is a disaster.” But Ari’s calm and friendly presence helped me relax. She offered me coffee and we got started. I don’t wear much makeup in daily life and don’t know much about cosmetics, but I immediately noticed how clean and hygienic her tools were — that meant a lot to me. She worked quickly and professionally, using so many products I couldn’t even keep track. When she applied lash clusters, I honestly thought I might end up looking like a doll — and there was no time for changes. But then I looked in the mirror — and wow. It was stunning. I felt beautiful. We only had 20 minutes left for hair. I was sure there wouldn’t be time for anything decent. But Ari — being the pro that she is — made it work in just a few quick curls and a couple spritzes of hairspray. Done. I jumped into the car and raced to City Hall. It’s been 9 months since the wedding, and people still compliment how I looked that day. Ari made the impossible happen. She saved me. And trust me, I’m not an easy client — if I hadn’t liked the makeup, I definitely would’ve said something. But it was perfect: soft, natural, long-lasting (on a hot day, it stayed flawless until 1am — that’s 19 hours!), and quick. Also, Ari is just a wonderful person — fun, easygoing, flexible (I didn’t like the first eyeshadow choice and she switched it without hesitation), super responsible, and interesting to talk to. I had such a lovely time chatting with her while she worked. My advice: don’t be like me — plan everything in advance and leave enough time for getting ready. But whatever you do, make sure you book Ari. She’s truly incredible.

gy. I didn’t think I could pull off a strong lip, but Aruna knew exactly what would work. The whole look was so cohesive and flattering — I felt incredible!

al curls, and everything lasted the whole day — through tears and dancing. A true professional!🥹💫

fferent — everything she does feels intentional, soft, and refined. She doesn’t rely on heavy layers or trends that don’t suit the bride. Instead, she enhances your natural beauty in a way that feels light and elegant. Everything stayed perfect, and I felt confident and at ease from morning until night. That’s a rare gift!

was soft, romantic, and not overdone at all. Everyone kept saying I was glowing 💫
