Every face carries its own story, and as a luxury Dubai makeup artist and hair stylist, I approach each look as a way to honour that narrative. Rooted in the belief that beauty should reveal rather than conceal, each look is crafted to highlight your unique structure, softness, and individuality, creating results that feel effortless, timeless, and entirely your own.
My artistry is built on precision, calm energy, and a deep passion for helping every woman step into her most radiant self.

Client Stories
Anoushka is amazing! She accommodated us instantly without any issues. I love her professionalism and she has stunning work.
Aleena Adnan
Anoushka did my makeup for 5 days, for a family wedding. She killed every look! She was very professional and knew exactly what to do based on inspiration pics I showed her. The makeup and hair stayed looking fresh and lasted the entire night, surviving hours of dancing and Dubai heat. My lipstick never needed reapplying which honestly is a first for me, because my lipstick always wears off. I was amazed. She's very talented and also very easy going and fun to talk to. I have found my new go-to MUAH artist in Dubai!
Bushra Siddiqi
Anoushka you are truly an incredible artist and individual. I booked her for my brothers wedding. She is fabulous hair and make up artist! She knows the ins and outs of every product she uses, and takes care to ensure that myself and my mum felt comfortable and we felt great about ourselves! She was very considerate when it came to suggestions and we worked to create our looks together! Turned out more amazing than what I could have imagined. I just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU.
Harvinder Kaur Sehra
Very talented girl, honestly I never had my make up done this professionally! I went to get it done for Christmas and in the photos there's literally no photoshop even though it looks like it. She knows exactly how to match your makeup for your eye shape, face etc. I recommend 10/10.
Sasha Lichman
I had the absolute pleasure of having Anoushka do my makeup at home for a very special occasion, and I couldn't be happier with the results! I gave her full creative freedom with no inspiration photo, and she exceeded every expectation. The look she created was flawless, timeless, and matched my outfit perfectly. Not only is she an incredibly skilled artist, but she also has such a warm and lovely personality that makes the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. She's a true gem!
Dr. Buyiswa Mokhosi
The best that I've ever seen! She was so sweet and friendly to work with, I wasn't nervous or shy to ask questions and she made me feel so comfortable. I've learnt so much, my make up game has changed so much and improved. I loved it so much.

Anoushka was 10/10. She made me look like a doll at all of my brothers wedding events. She is so artistic and tried so many new and cool looks on me. Loved every single look, very unique. Not just that, but she was great to be around with such a bubbly friendly personality! Honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience and make up artist. Will definitely be rebooking when I am back in Dubai.
Roshni Patel
I really want to thank you, the makeup was awesome!! Just like you said it didn't budge at all! I really appreciate how flexible you were with us, and how patient you were with me. I wish you all the best, you are doing awesome things. Seriously thanks!
Anika Chandra
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks to Anoushka for the incredible job she did with my makeup and hair. Not only was her work flawless, but her warmth and politeness made the entire experience so pleasant. It truly felt like talking to an old friend. I'm incredibly grateful for the care and attention she put into everything.
Swati Kapoor

Cazeeta Almeida
I had the immense pleasure of having Anoushka as my makeup artist on my wedding day, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From the moment she arrived, right on time, her professionalism and warm, sweet demeanor set a positive tone for the day. She created a flawless look that perfectly matched my vision. Her attention to detail and skill in enhancing natural beauty is simply wow. I absolutely loved my look and received countless compliments throughout the day.
Nisha Nagar
I definitely had one of the greatest experiences with Anushka. She was extremely professional, polite and understanding with how I wanted my look to turn out. She did exactly what I wanted and I am so glad to have chosen her for my sister's wedding functions. She literally creates magic and I cannot wait to choose her in the future.
Mahnoor Fatima
Anoushka did my bridal makeup and I honestly cannot put into words how beautiful I felt. She listened to everything I said, understood my skin tone perfectly, and created a look that was exactly me — glowing, elegant, and long-lasting. Every single guest asked who did my makeup. I will be recommending her to every bride I know.
