A MAKE-UP ARTIST AT WEDDING
Every wedding comes off as beautiful and flawless. Everything from the decorations to the venue, from the food to the clothes- weddings are awesome! But there are people who work tirelessly behind-the- scenes to make this day so special. More often than not, we tend to overlook these people and their importance! For example, the makeup artists. Especially those of the bride. Can you imagine the magnitude of her work’s importance? Everything about the bride must be perfect, right from the contouring of her face to the way her hair falls on her shoulders. And such is the artist’s dedication that we remain mesmerized by the beauty of the bride. Moments like when the artist is capturing the tone of the face, or when she is lining her eyes… bringing out their beauty… these need to be captured with a tender touch so as to bring out the essence of true talent. At MGA we believe that capturing such moments of work and beauty is of immense importance in any wedding album. We aspire to be skilled at such rarity and give you the pleasure of aesthetic value to your eyes !
MAKE UP ARTIST – SHRADDHA YADAV
Being a professional make-up artist, it all started for me from makeup designing and trials for the wedding. The interesting part that I found about this wedding was that Akshata’s mother wanted her to look like a South-Indian bride with a Maharashtrian touch! So after deliberation and careful understanding of the bride’s and her mother’s wishes, we decided to settle for a traditional South-Indian bridal look with a Maharashtrian nath completing it! She wore a beautiful peony-pink and yellow saree with silver and gold prints.
After this natural and glowing look, we planned and executed poppy-blue eye makeup with wine red lips which beautifully complemented her stunning reception lehenga, which gave it an over-all playful and youthful appearance. It was a contrast colour- combination.
On the wedding day, doing hair and makeup with perfection becomes very hectic and turbulent, but I would like to thank Akshata tai and her family for such hospitality and cooperation. It is a marathon to finish the job beautifully in 2-3 hours, as there are so many aspects of the bride to take care of! After Akshata, came the groom. Yogesh did not need much- just a soft hair-do and a touch-up of the face.
Akshata and Yogesh are a caring and loving couple, a Bindass Mundi and a Vadaa pyaara Munda! I wish them all the best for their future married life!

Matheran – Garbett Plateau(Night Trek)
Our experiences form our personalities, and personalities give a depth of character to our personas. One of the biggest wonders in life is the experience of travelling- be it alone or with friends and family, be it to some place you have never visited before or a place you had visited in the distant past. Each trip brings with it memories to cherish, lessons to be learnt and beauty to be beheld.
On the midnight of March, the 18th, I tried travelling in a manner I had not experienced before. I went on a midnight trek through the beautiful landscape of Karjat. Starting from Bheupuri station, my friends and I moved towards Garbett Plateau. Out trek began at 1:15 am and we were all very excited to begin this new adventure!
We first halted at a lake where we had our introductions done and were instructed on how to best proceed with the trek on the location and some basic safety protocols. After a couple of hours of trekking, we realized we were lost and at 3:00 am we had a halt for some snacks and soft drinks for hydration. On some consultation over the map, we resumed our trek and found the correct path.
However, on proceeding ahead, we realized we were not at the destination- where we should have reached by that time! So we took yet another halt- this time the time was around 4:30 am- and decided that we may as well enjoy the sunrise from there!
And oh, what a stunning view it was! The orange glow of the powerful morning sun washing over the plains and hills- it was a wake-up call for nature and it filled us with good cheer! The view was almost poetic to behold! Up until then I was of the opinion that pictures could capture the essence of anything but no pictures would do justice to that view. It is truly something to be experienced by each and every one! We could literally see the sky changing the colour and the darkness being chased away. All around us the landscape, which seemed barren in the dark- came to life in bursts of colours!
However, it was then that we realized we had totally misread the map and were hopelessly lost! After heading in various directions, we became frantic and by then it was already 10:00 am. By the time we figured out where we were and headed back, it was around 12:15 noon and what followed was an even more hectic day! However, the beauty of what we witnessed on that day was worth it. It was a wonderful and inspiring trip indeed!
