I did my hair and makeup by Shikha and she not only provided timely service but was very efficient and accommodating. She did my makeup beautifully and I received a lot of compliments ☺️ I would highly recommend her! Thank you Shikha.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Shikha for my makeup at the Miss India USA pageant in December 2024, and she truly exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel comfortable and confident, carefully listening to my preferences while adding her expert touch. The final look was flawless, elegant, long-lasting, and perfectly suited for the stage. If you’re looking for a makeup artist who will make you look and feel like the best version of yourself, Shikha is the one! Highly recommend her services.

Shikha A is a wonderful makeup artist and she has knowledge about the products and gives attention about her work and the customer needs. In past few years I know her as an excellent make up artist and she has done quite stunning make up for me for few events. It was great meeting her yesterday at Bobby Brown counter at Nordstrom Menlo Park mall, I wish her all the best!!

If I can do negative star I would, worse makeup I have seen. I could have done a better job at home. Her makeup was so horrible that I had to wash off my face. She could not even do eyeliner properly, one side was longer than the others. She did not apply color corrector under my eyebag, when I told her why has she not applied color corrector, her excuse was "you do not need it because your eye bag is good". I cannot believe she still has business. Next time before booking, I would definitely look at the reviews. Her makeup was so limited, I asked for a brown eyeshadow, she only had one brown eyeshadow and 2 lipsticks that she brought to apply, one makeup foundation for me, my sister and my mom. My mom is 4 shades darker than me. Everyone pointed at the wedding that I looked darker on the wedding. While she was applying my makeup, she accidently got eyeliner on my nose, had to clean that off when someone pointed it out at the wedding. Will never use her again. Will never recommend her to anyone. WARNING FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO USE HER, READ HER NEGATIVE REVIEWS....I have worked with other makeup artist, never experienced this level of unprofessionalism. If you are thinking about getting a makeup artist, would recommend beautybyaamna, she did my makeup the next day and I go so many compliments compare to mendhi, I would recommend beautybynoreen, shizaahmedmakeup or looksbykinza. getting a good makeup artist is so important in these type of events. I cannot even look at the mendhi pics, they are ruined for me because of her lack of skills.
