About

After serving a gazillion brides all over Bay Area + surrounds, Timsi Malhotra has recently moved her base in Orange County, California.
While still available for travel all over the World, she has a team of exceptionally talented artists servicing brides, bridal parties and special occasion gigs in both, Northern and Southern California.

Over the years, Timsi has attained multiple professional qualifications and has been working as a freelance makeup artist for 13+ years. Admittedly, what she learns from working with and on clients has been the most critical part of her education.

Her Mantra to make up is "keeping it simple and within one's comfort zone". She believes that her brides know themselves the best so why not listen up!, mix their vision with a touch of expertise and BAM! present a version which is not only prettier but a higher expression of themselves!!!

Wonderful Job!!!

Timsi really helped me finding a hair and makeup artist two days before my event. Hassina, my artist, was very professional and respected all the COVID-19 protocols. The final results for my hair and face were amazing. I felt like a real princess. I received a lot of compliments from family and friends.
I absolutely will hire TM’s Makeup Artistry again.

Spectacular and Magical

I wanted something unique and different but also something that would make people gasp at the beauty of it and Timsi did not just that but exceeded my expectations. I had the most special day and she helped make it possible.

Highly Recommend!

I came across Timsi while looking for (bridal) makeup services in the Bay Area for my Indian babyshower. I am not a huge makeup fan, so I was looking for someone who can keep it natural but elegant. Timsi was not available personally but she recommended a couple of her team members so I can check their profiles. Once the stylist was finalized, Timsi sent me a checklist of things to prepare prior to the event and a shared folder where I can upload my inspiration pictures. The stylist arrived on time on the day of the event and gave me the exact look I was expecting. Overall, I highly recommend Timsi and her team for their high quality work and clear communication throughout the process.

The Best Decision I made for my Wedding Day!

I came across Timsi's website back in April when I was looking for a makeup artist for my low key, low budget wedding. I love doing my own makeup and was skeptical if I should even hire someone to do it for my wedding day. But after going back and forth a few times with her on the phone, I finally told her I wanted to hire her. One thing I love about her was that every time I talked to her, she never made me feel pressured to hire her services. She was understanding of the fact that I was a full time student with a very small wedding budget. She did a trial about a month before the wedding at her house and on the wedding day, she came to my house to help me get ready. She was so sweet and helpful (Plus, she gave me some tips on doing my own makeup which I really appreciated).
Everyone loved my makeup on my wedding day and I love looking at all my pictures from that day. It was worth the money I spent. I am so glad I found her and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist. Timsi, I loved working with you and I wish the best for you as you leave the bay area and start over in SoCal! God bless you!

Great service!

So grateful for Timsi and her team. With such a large wedding party ( I had 17 women who needed hair and makeup done) it was so convenient to work with one company. Timsi handled all the planning and coordinating! I really appreciate her and her team for making the hair and makeup services for my wedding stress free!

Exactly what I was looking for!

I was looking for a soft glam look for my big day. I had researched many artists and none seemed to fit the criteria. Until I came across Timsi.
What I truly appreciated about Timsi was that she not only delivered, but she was very attentive during the trial as well as the wedding day itself. I am very very picky and for every little adjustment I wanted to make, she listened to me, provided her professional feedback and then ultimately let me decide if I was satisfied. I have come across many make-up artists that will try to tell you something looks good when in reality you are very uncomfortable. Timsi did not do that to me. She was not satisfied until I was happy with the outcome! She made me feel comfortable and delivered exactly what I was looking for. She was also honest if something I wanted wasn’t realistic. I appreciated that on my big day as I look back at the pictures and am very happy with the outcome!
Timsi is also responsive and in a timely manner. I had no issues finalizing my contract with her and she was clear with all costs/fees upfront. I would recommend her to any bride!

South Indian Bridal Make Up & Hair

Timsi was so professional and did an absolutely beautiful job. During the trial she really listened to what I asked for and made changes as necessary. On the morning of the wedding she was punctual, organized, and calm. I had a South Indian wedding so she also tied my sari. It all came out beautifully. She's also so sweet which makes a big difference. Definitely recommend her services!
