INDIAN & S. ASIAN WEDDING EXPERIENCE
Indian and South Asian weddings are rich in tradition, detail, and multi-day celebrations. From intricate attire and jewelry to ceremonial timelines and family customs, these weddings require a makeup artist who understands both the cultural significance and the level of preparation involved.
With decades of professional experience, Chenese approaches South Asian bridal beauty with respect, precision, and intention. Makeup is designed to complement traditional garments, bold color palettes, and photography under varied lighting while maintaining longevity through extended events. Each look is customized to reflect the bride’s personal style while honoring cultural expectations and wedding traditions.
In addition to makeup artistry, Chenese is familiar with traditional South Asian bridal elements, including proper placement of the maang tikka and coordinating makeup around bridal jewelry. Care is taken to ensure balance, symmetry, and a seamless finish that photographs beautifully and remains intact throughout long, multi-event wedding days.
Due to the structure, time commitment, and preparation required for Indian and South Asian weddings, services are offered under dedicated cultural bridal packages. Pricing reflects the level of artistry, scheduling, and coordination needed for these celebrations.
To ensure you look flawless for every occasion, makeup services are tailored to the style and cultural significance of each celebration, including:

Bridal makeup packages are curated experiences and are offered as-is. Services within a package cannot be removed, substituted, or adjusted. Packages are not calculated from individual services and are not subject to re-pricing.
Anything outside package pricing is considered an “add-on”.
-
Touch-Up: The maintenance of a previously applied makeup application. This includes refreshing complexion, lips, or eyes without changing or removing the existing look. That’s billed hourly.
New Makeup Look: Begins from the start. The original makeup is removed and a completely different look is created using new products, shades, and techniques. Charged per change.
-
Bridal preview (trial) appointments are a standalone service and do not guarantee wedding date availability. Preview appointments are non-refundable and do not apply toward bridal package pricing unless a bridal package that includes a preview is booked within 7 days.
The in-studio preview appointment is $150 and may be scheduled online at: bridal.chenesebean.com/preview-appointment
Preview appointments are best when conducted 2-3 months prior to the wedding/event date.
-
If a preview (trial) appointment is scheduled after wedding day services have been booked, a coupon code will be provided to waive the preview appointment fee at the time of scheduling. Which prevents double billing.

To keep all information organized and properly documented, important communication is handled via email and the client portal. Text messaging is reserved for brief, time-sensitive communication only, such as quick updates or wedding-day needs. Long or detailed messages sent via text may be redirected to email for proper follow-up.
Social media private messages are not used for client communication, including questions, updates, or service changes, as they cannot be properly tracked.
This approach ensures clear communication, accurate record-keeping, and a smooth planning experience for everyone involved.
