Punjagutta, Hyderabad
Looking for a makeup academy near you in Hyderabad
Second Skin Makeup Studio and Academy is in Punjagutta, central enough that most of Hyderabad can reach it without an hour of travel each way. That matters more than you think when you are going six days a week for a month.
Where we are
- Address: 6-3-354/8/2, Esteem Diamond, F1, Hindi Nagar, Dwarakapuri, Punjagutta, Hyderabad, Telangana 500082
- Phone and WhatsApp: +91 93939 36793
- Nearest landmark: Hindi Nagar, Dwarakapuri, off Punjagutta
Punjagutta sits close to the middle of the city, which is the practical reason to care. Banjara Hills, Ameerpet, Somajiguda, Khairatabad and Begumpet are all short runs. From further out, the metro gets you most of the way.
Why travel time decides whether you finish
This sounds like a small point. It is not.
A 30-day in-person course means roughly 26 journeys each way. At 90 minutes each way that is 78 hours of travel, which is more time than some entire short courses contain. People do not drop out because the teaching was bad. They drop out because the commute wore them down in week three.
Before you enrol anywhere, do the journey once at the actual time your batch runs. Not on a Sunday afternoon. That single trip tells you more than any brochure.
What to look for when searching nearby
Proximity is a tiebreaker, not a reason on its own. The nearest academy is not automatically the right one.
Worth travelling further for
- A working artist who personally teaches the sessions.
- Real models rather than practising on classmates.
- Small batches where you get corrected individually.
- International products provided for practice.
Not worth travelling for
- A bigger banner and a longer list of course names.
- A guaranteed placement promise. Treat that as a warning sign anywhere.
Who teaches here
Chakravarthi Kadali has spent 27 years working in the Indian film industry, on sets with Tamannaah, Rakul Preet Singh, Pooja Hegde, Krithi Shetty, Meenakshi Chaudhary and Pragya Jaiswal.
He teaches the sessions himself. That is the actual reason to pick this academy over one closer to your house, and it is a fair question to ask anywhere you visit.
What runs at the studio
- The 30-day Makeup Master Course, in person, with real models.
- Bridal, HD, airbrush and special effects modules within the course.
- Kit guidance built around what you can afford now.
Come and see it before you decide
Visit while a batch is running. Watch a session, talk to whoever is mid-course, and ask them what they would change. Any academy uncomfortable with that is telling you something useful.
Message or call on +91 93939 36793 and we will find a time when there is something worth watching.
