Bonfire glow, Punjabi style — pehli Lohri, poori shaan
Lohri Makeup at Home in Chandigarh
Booking Lohri makeup at home in Chandigarh? In Punjab and the Tricity, the first Lohri of a newly-wed couple or a new baby is a proper celebration, with relatives, dhol, gidda and a big bonfire. Our women artists come to your home in the afternoon so the bride or the new mother is ready before the guests arrive.
Lohri is also the coldest party of the year. Fog, chilly air and the heat of the bonfire all affect how makeup sits. We plan looks that stay comfortable under a shawl, hold up near the fire and still look bright in evening photos.
Lohri looks we love
First Lohri bride
Soft bridal glam with your chooda: a red, pink or orange suit or lehenga, warm shimmer eyes, a defined lip and a neat bun or long braid. Festive enough for the photos, light enough to dance in.
New mother's first Lohri
A quick, fresh look that does not keep you away from the baby for long. Even skin, soft eyes and a warm lip, with a comfortable hairstyle that stays put while you hold the little one.
Phulkari and Patiala suit
Bold kajal, bright cheeks and a red or berry lip to match a phulkari dupatta. Finished with a braid and a parandi for a proper Punjabi touch.
Winter bonfire glow
Dewy skin with cream blush and a glossy lip, for family Lohri nights in the lawn or on the terrace. Looks warm in firelight and does not crack in the cold.

For a new bride, the first Lohri at her in-laws' home is often the first big family function after the wedding. We keep the look close to bridal but lighter, so you look festive without feeling dressed up for a reception. Looks are planned by our founder Rekha Singh and her team of makeup artists.
For a new mother, we keep the session short and work around the baby's routine. Tell us when you need to feed or rest, and the artist will plan around it. We bring everything, sanitise our tools and use fresh disposables for every client.
Lohri makeup tips for a cold Chandigarh night
January nights in Chandigarh are foggy and cold, and skin feels tight and dry. Our artists prep with a rich moisturiser, use cream products over heavy powder and keep a lip balm under the lipstick so lips do not crack. Waterproof kajal and mascara help when cold air makes the eyes water.
Near the bonfire, the heat can make the base feel heavy, so stand back a little and blot instead of adding more powder. Plan your shawl too: if it will cover the neckline most of the evening, focus the look on the eyes and lips.
Phulkari, Patiala suits and parandi braids
A phulkari dupatta is busy and bright, so the face looks best with one strong point, either the eyes or the lips. Our hairstyling team can do a parandi braid, a low bun with gajra, or soft curls that stay neat under a dupatta. Add mehndi a day before and the look is complete.
We cover all of Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Zirakpur, Dera Bassi and Kharar, from 8 AM to 7 PM. For family groups, call or WhatsApp 62837 64566 and we will plan the slots.
Good to know
Lohri — FAQs
When is Lohri usually celebrated?
Lohri falls in mid-January, on the evening before Maghi (Makar Sankranti). Depending on the year, it is on 13 or 14 January.
Do you do makeup for a first Lohri function at home?
Yes. We do makeup, hairstyling, dupatta setting and mehndi at home for the bride, the new mother and the rest of the family.
Can you finish before the evening bonfire?
Yes. We work from 8 AM to 7 PM, so most Lohri bookings are in the afternoon and finished well before the bonfire and guests.
When should I put on mehndi for Lohri?
One day before is ideal, so the colour has darkened by the evening of Lohri.
Can I book makeup for several family members?
Yes. Tell us the number of people and looks, and we will send more than one artist or plan back-to-back slots.
