Aakanksha Junday

Before I ever had a makeup kit of my own, I had front row access to the magic of transformation. I grew up watching my mom, a skilled cosmetologist with over 20 years of experience, turn people into radiant versions of themselves. Her artistry is not just about glam — it is about power. That energy shaped me, and without even realizing it, I was already preparing for the career I now live and breathe.

I’m Aakanksha Junday, a self-taught, Forbes-featured luxury makeup artist with over six years of professional experience. From high-fashion runways and editorial campaigns to red-carpet events and hundreds of bridal moments, I’ve built my brand on the belief that beauty is both personal and powerful. It’s not about being jealous — it’s about being zealous.
My style is all about enhancing what makes you unique. I don’t follow trends just for the sake of it — I follow your energy, your comfort, and your dream look. Read More….

FAQ

Our pricing is fixed, ensuring transparency and consistency for all customers. There are no hidden fees, and we provide clear details upfront. While we don’t offer discounts, our rates reflect the quality and dedication we put into every project.

One of my most memorable projects was working with an American bride who embraced Indian attire for her special day. It was a beautiful experience, as I had the honor of dressing her in traditional Indian bridal wear, along with her bridesmaids, who came from diverse ethnic backgrounds-including my own. The fusion of cultures made it an incredibly unique and rewarding experience.
Since this project involved over 10 people, my team and I dedicated about 5 hours to ensuring every detail was perfected. From intricate draping to flawless makeup and hairstyling, it was a long but fulfilling process that truly showcased the beauty of diversity and tradition coming together.

When hiring a professional in my field, there are several key factors to consider. Start by looking at their portfolio to ensure their style aligns with your vision. Ask about the difference between airbrush and HD makeup to determine which option best suits your skin type and occasion. Inquire about the service duration so you know how much time to set aside for your appointment. Clarify who will be providing the service-whether it’s the artist themselves or a team member. Check for any hidden or travel fees to avoid unexpected costs. Reading reviews and testimonials can give you insight into past clients’ experiences while verifying certifications and experience ensures you’re working with a trained and qualified professional. Also, ask what’s included in the package to prevent last-minute surprises. Additionally, it’s important to understand the difference between bridal and non- bridal makeup. The distinction can impact pricing, techniques, and the overall experience, so clarifying it upfront is essential!
