Hi, I’m Shakereen 🤍✨and for anyone new here… welcome, you can call me Shak.I’m the owner of MakeupGuru, and I’ve been in the bridal beauty world for over 20 years, across three different countries.Somewhere along the way I realized something important.The craftsmanship of beauty starts with the skin.Healthy skin.Calm skin.Supported skin.When the skin is right, everything else falls into place.The glow. The makeup. The confidence. 🤍I’ve never really been someone who stays in one lane.I love makeup.I love hair. I love facials.I love massage.I love skin health.I love diversity in brides. Honestly… I love all of it.Being able to care for someone holistically, from base to surface, is what makes me feel most alive in my work. 🙌🏽✨Outside of work, I’m a hockey mom to three boys.Which basically means I’m a professional multitasker 😂🤍They’re my whole world. And everything I build in this business, I build hoping they grow up seeing what it looks like to love what you do.I also love sharing what I know.Here online, helping brides feel less overwhelmed.And in real life, teaching makeup classes, mentoring artists, and hosting bridal beauty events. Some of my favourite ones have been with @maccosmeticscanada.Because the truth is… I’m an educator at heart.If you’ve met me in person, you know I love to laugh, crack a few jokes, and keep things light. That human connection means everything to me.And for the brides who find their way here, I’m here to help you feel confident, supported, and beautiful in a way that feels natural, calm, and true to who you are.If you’re new here, I’m so glad you found me.I can’t wait to meet you in my chair. 🤍✨And yes… thanks for coming to my TED Talk 😂🙈Photo: @julianaandkelly by @makeupgurushak

What looks smooth on Instagram doesn’t always behave well under bridal makeup.No notes. ✨Bridal skin prep is about timing, tolerance, and protecting the skin so wedding makeup wears beautifully - on camera and in real life.#makeupgurushakbridal skin prepbridal makeup wedding makeup bridal esthetician Mississauga makeup artistBride 2026Toronto by @makeupgurushak

to my future bride…a little reminder that instagram is only a tiny glimpse of my work.many of the women i’m trusted with value their privacy just as much as they value a beautiful bridal experience. some don’t have public profiles. many find me through another bride, a sister, or a friend.and i respect that.some of my favourite work has never been posted online. it lives in memories that were never meant for the internet. 🫶🏽✨if we’re chatting about your wedding, i’ll happily share my portfolio with you. until then, know that what you see here is only a small glimpse of the weddings i’ve been lucky enough to be part of. 🤍#makeupgurushakmississauga bridal makeup artist | toronto bridal makeup | south asian bride | luxury bridal beauty | skin first makeup | wedding makeup artist gta | soft glam bride | bridal hair and makeup | bridal portfolio | private luxury experience by @makeupgurushak

this is why my facials are never just about skin. 🤍we spend so much of our lives rushing, scrolling, and carrying tension without realizing it.sometimes the best thing we can do for our skin is remind the body that it’s safe to relax. ✨😮‍💨#makeupgurushakfacial mississauga | customized facial | holistic facial | nervous system | lymphatic drainage | skin health | stress relief | healthy skin | mushroom gua sha | self preservation | skin expert | luxury facial | glow from within | skincare education | mississauga esthetician by @makeupgurushak

the baby phase is slowly leaving our family. 🥹💙i’ve been thinking a lot about the saying, “the days are long, but the years are short.”when you’re in the thick of it, the sleepless nights, the messes, the constant “mom”… it can feel endless.then one day you realize you’re living the moments you once wished would come… and somehow you’d give anything to hold onto the ones that have already passed. 🥹🥲✨motherhood | family life | raising boys | motherhood journey | eighteen summers | making memories | mom life | family first | slow living | gratitude | parenting | cherish the moments | life lately | growing up | Mississauga by @makeupgurushak

one day my boys will understand why I see my clients after bedtime. 💙why I filmed content in between hockey practices.why I stayed up a little later building something that didn’t exist yet.not because they weren’t enough.but because I wanted them to grow up watching their mom become the woman she was created to be.maybe ambition and motherhood were never meant to compete. maybe they’re teaching each other what courage looks like. 🤍#makeupgurushakambitious mom | motherhood | working mom | entrepreneur mom | business owner | women in business | building a dream | motherhood journey | life with boys | hockey mom | creator life | behind the scenes | family first | personal growth | intentional living | self preservation | beauty entrepreneur | Mississauga | Canadian creator | women supporting women by @makeupgurushak

maybe women don’t need another productivity hack.maybe they need rest.maybe they need quiet.maybe they need somewhere they don’t have to perform, achieve, or take care of everyone else.the glow is beautiful.but peace will always be my goal and gift to women who come in my space. 🤍#makeupgurushakself preservation | red light therapy | healthy beauty habits | nervous system regulation | holistic facial | wellness rituals | busy women | facial massage | lymphatic drainage | mississauga esthetician by @makeupgurushak
