I had the pleasure of having Geet provide henna for my family for my sister's wedding, and she was absolutely amazing! She was professional, friendly, and created beautiful designs that all of our guests loved. She worked efficiently while still paying great attention to detail, and everyone had a wonderful experience. She went above and beyond by personally patiently waiting for me while I went out to go help my sister with some stufI highly recommend her for any wedding or special event! read more

Geet is personable, professional, reliable and on time and has a warm and calming personality. I booked her for gurdwara hair, make up and draping as well as same day reception hair, make up, and draping - both were perfect. She met in person in advance to make sure my needs for upcoming events were met, checked in via texts leading up to events, she also has a great checklist of reminders to do before the big day (like even airing out dresses that are from abroad! Thank you, just little things too that are importantly that you might forget). I had zero confidence in getting the right flowers for my hair and Geet got them the day before and fridged them to have ready for me the next day. I was so grateful for this. Also while doing my hair, she would briefly massage my head and shoulders - it's like she knows exactly what you need! OMG. I didn't know such treatment was possible, the putting of make up and doing hair felt like a calming, soothing treatment. I am so grateful. Also most importantly, she secured my wedding gurdwara dress in a way so that I had NO issue bowing for the ceremony on the ground (she made me show her too to be sure). Everything functioned PERFECT. She knows what looks good too bc I'm not used to wearing make up and needed help on suggestions. Lastly, I didn't for a moment feel an ounce of impatience with all the hard work she had to do. Some people are just really good at what they do and I'm in awe of Geet! Thank you so much read more

Geet worked with me for my henna, Haldi ceremony and wedding day in South San Jose. She did a great job with my hair, makeup, wedding saree placement, hand/arm/feet mehndi. She is connected to a team of stylists of different specialties such as florists who can make flower jewelry (for my Haldi ceremony) and wedding garlands, saree pleaters, facial artists, henna artists and other makeup/hair artists who came to work on my mom and MILs hair and makeup. She also had a team of henna artists come to my wedding to provide henna for our guests. Geet has a great eye for detail. She does consults with you beforehand to see your vision and she doesnmakeup really well (i dont like heavy makeup and she accommodated my needs) and my hair looked very sleek. She did my reception hair and makeup change after the ceremony. I would highly recommend Geet and her team for all Indian weddings. read more

Geet was amazing to get me ready. She did amazing job of getting me ready on my marriage. I usually someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup, and she gave me a look that felt like 'me' but elevated. I felt glowing and confident all day, and it didn't feel heavy or 'cakey' at all and lasted the entire day. She made an amazing hairstyle which suited my face so nicely. Beyond being a talented artist, geet and her team are a dream to work with. She was punctual, organized, and followed impeccable hygiene standards with her kit and brushes. She made the whole experience so relaxing and stress-free. My wedding was also very early in the morning but she and her team were there on time read more

I had the absolute best experience with my makeup artist for both my sangeet and wedding. She was incredibly great to work with from start to finish and took the time to have a detailed discussion beforehand to truly understand the look I wanted. She was always available to answer questions and made sure my vision came to life exactly how I imagined. On my wedding day, she kept me feeling so calm and relaxed, which meant everything to me. Most importantly, she made me feel confident and beautiful on such an important day. I couldn't recommend her enough! read more

I booked Geet for both my wedding and reception, and I'm so glad I did. I wanted looks that were soft, elegant, and timeless - but still felt like me - and she delivered perfectly. My makeup looked flawless, lasted all day (through tears, hugs, and nonstop dancing), and didn't feel heavy or overdone. And let's talk about her hair skills for a second - I have thick, long hair, and the bun she did for my wedding day stayed completely in place all day without a single touch up. That alone deserves five stars. She really listened to what I wanted, offered great suggestions when I was unsure, and made the whole getting ready process feel calm, smooth, and honestly fun. She was so sweet, down to earth, and even made sure I ate before the big day began (which, if you're a bride, you know is a big deal). I got so many compliments on both looks, and I truly wouldn't change a thing. Geet isn't just talented - she's thoughtful, professional, and the kind of energy you want around you on such an important day. If you're thinking of booking her, do it. You'll be so happy you did!! read more

10/10 makeup artist. Geet is SO incredibly talented, professional, and a kind soul. She did hair and makeup for me (bride), my mom, and sister for my wedding & reception in April 2025. I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life and was SO happy with my look!!! Truly amazing. Geet understands your vision easily (or gives tips and suggestions if you're not sure), and is a pro at makeup, hair, pinning/draping, jewelry placement. She facetimed with me in advance to help with looks. She is very flexible and accommodating to different settings and timelines, and made me feel 100% confident. She arrived on time and was ready to go. Bonus - she offers hair extension rental! Geet was very kind to my mom as well, who is more nervous with makeup. Beyond all of this, she is a kind human being who makes the bride feel comfortable and beautiful, creates a peaceful getting ready setting, and offers moral support even in the most hectic settings. We are so happy we went with MakeupStarStudio!! read more

Geet is amazing!!! I'm so glad my friend picked her for the bride and bridesmaids makeup on her big day. She's professional yet personal. She always makes sure that you would feel 100% confident in your makeup. My skin has a lot of acne scars but she smoothed it out perfectly and made it look glowy and dewy!! The makeup stayed for the whole day which is a hard thing to achieve on my super oily skin. Thank you Geet for making me and my friends look and feel absolutely beautiful on that day! I will definitely book you for my wedding in the future! Geet is definitely a makeup star!!! read more

Geet is a thorough professional and does a fantastic job with hair, make-up and sari draping. I have used her services twice already for different occasions and couldn't be more happier with the work she did. I received a lot of compliments. My sari was a very heavy one and I was nervous that it would not hold up as the evening wore on especially with dancing etc. but the way it was draped and pinned it was flattering in shape and held up well throughout the evening and night. Geet is also very personable and easy to talk to and is willing to work with whatever style you are comfortable with and give it an extra oomph to stand out. She can also suggest different styles and looks to change it up once in a while. As a bonus, she let's you borrow extensions with a deposit so you don't have to buy them for just one event. read more

Geet was professional, prompt and the curls in my hair lasted for many days. I recommend her. She was open to and gracious about feedback. She was down to earth and her prices are very reasonable compared to South Asian makeup artists. 5 stars. read more

I found Geet through a Instagram and I ended up using her for all my mehndi, hair and makeup for all the wedding functionS. Geet's commitment to design is so apparent as we worked on my full arms and feet for a full day! She was so excited to try all the designs I had in my mind and really brought them to life. She is so fun and social and it makes all the difference. She was so committed to make it to my house on time in the morning and made sure we left to the venue on time. I would wholeheartedly recommend her for any makeup you need. I have never looked more beautiful in my life. She's a full service artist and when my bangles didn't fit, she quickly came up with a plan to help me out.

Geet is seriously the best in the game. She is super patient and communicative. She hears you out and listens to what you want while also throwing in her personal knowledge and keeps it real. She wants you to look your best, and I definitely looked the best I ever have at my wedding!! Turns out there was a Level 2 storm on my wedding day. Geet applied hardcore hairspray to my look, and the curls maintained even in the rain!! She even braved the elements to join me at the venue to finish my look. She was constantly reassuring me throughout the morning of my wedding day, while my nerves were taking over. She's super calm and kept praising me throughout. She even sent me with a small care package to keep up my look throughout the day. 1000% recommend; I couldn't imagine a better person to be with me on my wedding morning. Geet is truly a gem!! read more

I really enjoyed working with Geet for my wedding makeup looks. She took the time to work with me and create looks that best suited me. As someone who is not use to wearing makeup often, I think she did a great job at balancing the natural look with the wedding glam. She offered her opinion without overstepping which I really appreciated. She stayed in constant contact leading up to the wedding and was available for a call/text if I had any questions. Overall, I was very happy with her services and felt absolutely beautiful during both my weddings. read more

I cannot emphasize how amazing MakeupStarStudio was at our wedding. I genuinely never felt more beautiful in my life. Her directions, questions, and recommendations were so helpful so I knew what I needed for my look to work. It also just reduced the amount of guesswork needed on my end so that I could focus on taking care of myself rather than endlessly researching and practicing. The less stress, the better, and in the makeup department, I felt very held and supported all the way through. She was also very respectful. As an LGBTQIA+ Bride, I had a lot of hesitation and vigilance around who to trust and who I would feel safe with. I can absolutely say that I found the right person to help me through my most beautiful day. I can't recommend them enough! Thank you once again! read more

Geet was referred to me by a friend who highly recommended her for my wedding henna and I'm so glad she did! I am Filipino and my husband is Moroccan, and to honor his cultural roots, we decided to hire Geet to have my bridal henna done for me, my bridal party, family and friends. Geet was very professional, easy to work with and was very responsive. Since I was unfamiliar with henna and Moroccan designs, Geet patiently helped me through the process, gave design recommendations, and even incorporated Filipino culture designs as well! She made me feel comfortable with everything and she was also so fun during the home visit henna party at our house! Everyone had a great time and Geet was able to impress everyone with her skills, intricate designs, and she only used high quality henna. I highly recommend Geet for your next special event! read more

I was looking for non bridal makeup artist and that's when I found Geet on yelp. She was quick in responding and confirmed her availability for the date I was looking for. I wanted for 2 days but at last moment due to personal conflict , I had to reduce it to one day. She understood my situation at personal level and did not charge me extra for cancellation at last minute. She came on time and finished before the time scheduled time. I loved my makeup and hairstyle. I would definitely recommend her for any occasion. Not to forget to mention, we talked a lot and that makes it even more interesting. read more

I contacted Geet to do my make up for my wedding ceremony and reception. I was confused and picky and took a lot of time because I had a western gown for the ceremony and Indian traditional saree for the reception. When I went for a hair and makeup trial, Geet asked me a lot of questions to understand what I was looking for. She took the time to understand my skin type and gave me suggestions to help me narrow down the looks. She had a person to pre pleat the saree for me, who was easy to work with. Overall, I loved working with Geet and she made me feel so comfortable with the makeup (I don't wear makeup a lot) which wasn't too heavy on my skin. It was a lot of fun working with Geet and she has become a good friend through this process. I would recommend Geet to anyone looking for a personalized look! Thanks Geet!!! read more

I am so glad I hired Geet for my sangeet and wedding function. She did beautiful two very different looks for both the functions. I felt very confident after the initial consultation session where she discussed the looks and my likes/dislikes. During the makeup session, she was very sweet and professional and made sure I was comfortable. I did not have to worry about a single thing. She even took take of all my belongings that i just left at her studio as I was in a rush. She is amazing as a person and more so as a makeup artist. Book her now if you are in any doubt! read more

I couldn't be happier with the look Geet created for me for my wedding and reception. She truly listened to my preferences and made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process.

Geet was recommended to me by a friend and I'm glad I went with that recommendation for my wedding day! Geet loves what she does and it is very evident in her work. She takes the time out to understand what the bride wants, listens to them, provides feedback. I had a morning wedding which meant I had to start getting ready even before the sunrise and Geet was on point! Her talks on the D-Day calmed me down as I got distracted from all the stress. Highly recommend her! She knows what she's doing! read more

Geet and her team were absolutely amazing! I got to know Geet during my makeup trial and she blew me away and made me feel adorable! She did 3 looks for me, and each one was beyond what I expected.

I met Geet about a month before my wedding by finding her profile on Instagram. Her profile was very well setup and impressed me from the beginning; I reached out to her on Instagram and found out she lived very close by. I met with her for a consultation and she walked me through suitable options for makeup, hairstyle and saree pleating/draping for my wedding day. She also gave me skincare tips to be better prepared for the day. She did my mother's mehendi which turned really well about 3 days before my wedding. Geet was caring and offered my mother tips to care for her mehendi. On the wedding day, she was punctual, accommodating and produced the results we had discussed previously. She did my morning ceremony makeup and hair and also my evening reception makeup and hair. The looks came out beautifully and I received a lot of compliments! I would recommend her and work with her again in the future as well! read more

Pros: 1. Took time for consultation and talks about taking client's opinions into consideration 2. Right on time on the day of the event and spent the entire duration as expected. Cons: 1. Consultation is meaningless as they were not taken into consideration. Would have helped if she had disagreed during the consultation itself and set the correct expectations. 2. As part of her contract she offered one free iron pleating but pleating is done by a saree draper who lives in Livermore. In the contract she never mentioned where the saree would have to be dropped off; I assumed it would be at her office in San Jose but turns out to be Livermore. Because it was really far for me, I requested for a saree draper closer to San Jose but she argued that she had mentioned she verbally stated (not anywhere in contract) that it would be in Livermore while we were signing the contract but she did not. She then provided me with a saree draper in San Jose but she also messaged my wedding planner "if I was crazy and had any issues with other vendors" (my wedding planner did not tell me this and tried to diffuse the situation and did not inform me; got to know later from Geet herself). While I was getting my saree pleated with the provided saree draper 2, I inquired about her makeup services but did not elect to buy any services. A day later I asked Geet if it would be possible to get a makeup trial a day before the wedding but she declined the makeup trial as she was busy but she shouted that I was lying and complained I was very difficult to work with. I understand it's a little sensitive to inquire about other vendor services (though I did not purchase and stuck with Geet) but I don't think it is unexpected in any customer relation. When I asked what I lied about she never gave any response. It was incredibly stress-inducing to have Geet persistently shout and harass me that I was lying. This was on the day before my wedding when I was incredibly stressed and I ended up crying very much, even during our phone calls with Geet while she yelled at me. (saree draper2 was on the conference call and can attest to this). 3. I happen to get some skin rash on my face - may or may not be from the makeup but I felt the brushes she used were not clean. I hope I am wrong about this but would advise future customers to check 4. She is now threatening us legally for writing a review that doesn't match her expectations. If you happen to report unsatisfied feedback she will continue to hound you with recorded messages and phone calls. I am attaching screenshots of my conversations with Geet. I was sorry even though they were not my mistakes and I did not lie anything. I did not have a very peaceful pre-wedding week due to all the stress induced by Geet. I hope any other person selecting Geet can have better experience than me. read more
