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. Whether you’re getting married, walking into a photoshoot, or want to feel unstoppable for an event, I’ll craft a look that feels just as good as it looks.
What sets my work apart? It’s not just technique, it’s the experience. I listen closely, ask questions, and hype you up. I make sure you feel just as confident in the chair as you do when you see yourself in the mirror. Because makeup isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence.

With a handpicked team of professionals by my side, I offer bridal and non-bridal makeup and hair services, group glam sessions, and on-location beauty experiences across the world. You’ll also find me in my Fremont, California studio — a space designed for calm, connection, and high-end beauty.
Being a Glamsquad Pro and having my work featured in Forbes are incredible honors but nothing compares to meeting with you, creating a look that reflects your essence, and witnessing the confidence that radiates when you see yourself transformed. That’s the kind of beauty I live for.
So let’s create moments together — with meaning, with artistry, and with heart.
