This is an India-based team: Tejaswini and her artists live and work in Pune and travel out for each booking. For Italy the team lands early, so nobody is rushed on the first morning.

Your wedding functions
Planning an Indian wedding at Caruso, A Belmond Hotel? For a Ravello or Positano wedding, plan around stairs, the bridal room and transfers between towns. Secure hairstyles and dupatta placement matter for outdoor portraits, and an indoor place for touch-ups is useful between functions.
Plan your wedding-day makeup with the hairstyle, saree or lehenga draping, dupatta and jewellery placement. Share skin preferences and reference looks so the finish suits your outfit and the ceremony light.
Build a lighter look for daytime celebrations and a more defined look for the sangeet or cocktail evening. Each booked function has its own ready-by time and outfit-change plan.
Discuss soft glam or a more defined evening finish, the reception hairstyle and the time needed to change after the ceremony. HD makeup preferences can be discussed at consultation; product choices depend on your skin and look.
Share a list of mothers, sisters, bridesmaids and other guests who need makeup and hairstyling. The quote confirms the number of artists and which services are booked for each person.
Italy wedding makeup prices are quoted for your dates, functions and team size. Ask for an itemised quote separating bridal services, family makeup, agreed touch-ups and travel. Confirm flights, accommodation, meals, local transfers and the documentation needed for each travelling artist before booking. There is no fixed package price for every Italian venue.
Punjabi, Sikh, Hindu, South Indian, Maharashtrian and other Indian and South Asian bridal traditions can have different hair, jewellery and draping requirements. Share the ceremony details when enquiring; venue permission for the ceremony is arranged separately by your planner.

A little history
Hotel Caruso occupies an 11th-century palazzo on the cliff in Ravello, with frescoed rooms and gardens of pergolas, lemon trees and flowers. It has been a hotel for generations and is now run by Belmond.
Its infinity pool, on the edge of the garden, is one of the most famous on the Amalfi Coast. The hotel is a natural base for a Ravello wedding, with Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo a short walk away.
For the bride, the hotel means a calm suite with sea light and a short walk to the ceremony. We plan the full look here and touch up on arrival.
Function by function

Mehendi under the pergolas and lemon trees. A sheer, sweat-resistant base and a high bun.

Sangeet on a garden terrace at night. Warm bronze eyes and a matte-satin base for humid air.

Pheras in the gardens on the cliff edge. Humidity-proof skin, classic red lip and pins against sea breeze.

Reception on a terrace above the sea. A refreshed glow, deeper lip and defined lashes.
Illustrative beauty schedule only. Your planner confirms venue access, ceremony permissions and room availability; Tejaswini confirms the services and touch-up attendance in your quote.
The wedding day
We ask for a room with good window light and a second room close by for family makeup, so the bride’s room stays calm.
Family looks run in parallel with the bridal skin prep, timed so nobody waits in the corridor.
Hydration, primer and a base built for strong sea light and warm evenings.
Maang tikka, nath and dupatta set with the outfit on, checked from every angle the photographer will use.
Portraits under the pergolas before the sun lowers onto the infinity pool.
If the ceremony is at another Ravello villa, an artist walks with the bride and finishes her there.
Humid evenings call for blotting and setting, not more product. Allow 60–75 minutes for the change.
