Not sure which one to pick?

Most people arrive knowing they want to learn makeup and not much beyond that. Here is the short version of how the courses differ.

You want this as a careerStart with the Makeup Artist Course. It is the full programme and everything else builds on it. If you already work in a salon, it fills the gaps that on-the-job learning leaves.Makeup Artist Course
You want one specific skillTake a focused course instead. Bridal, eye makeup, hair styling and film work each run on their own, so you can add the one thing your work is missing without repeating the basics.See the focused courses
You just want to do your ownThe Self Grooming Course is for you, and there is no shame in saying so. It is the only one here that is not about turning professional.Self Grooming Course

Every course we run

Makeup Artist Course

The one to take if you want this as a job. Skin analysis and colour correction first, then foundation, contouring, eye work, HD and bridal. By the end you can sit a stranger in the chair and know what to do.

Bridal Makeup Course

Bridal pays best and forgives least. A bride is photographed for twelve hours in daylight and under flash, so you learn base work that survives it, plus Indian, traditional, HD and airbrush finishes.

The services a salon runs every day. Facials and skincare, hair care, manicure, pedicure, waxing, and the hygiene and client handling that most courses skip entirely.

What every course includes

Whichever one you take, these do not change.

Live models, not mannequinsYou practise on real faces from early on, because a mannequin never tells you the foundation looks grey.
Small batchesEnough students to make it worth running, few enough that someone watches your hands.
A portfolio you can showYour work gets photographed. Salons and clients ask to see images, not certificates.
Certificate on completionAwarded once your practical work has been assessed, not just for turning up.

Questions people ask before enrolling

If you want to work as a makeup artist, start with the Makeup Artist Course. It covers the ground everything else is built on. The focused courses like bridal, eye or hair styling make more sense once you have that base, or if you already work in the field and want to add one skill.

No. Most of our students have never done makeup on anyone but themselves. Every course starts from the beginning, and nobody is going to make you feel slow for asking what a primer does.

Yes, and plenty of people do. Makeup and hair styling together is the most common pairing, because artists who can do both get booked far more often.

Fees depend on which course you take, the batch, and whether you combine two. Send an enquiry or message us on WhatsApp and we will give you the current fee and the next start date, with no runaround.

Yes, all of them, at our Punjagutta studio. Makeup is a skill you learn through your hands, and watching a video of someone else blending has never taught anyone to blend.

We give honest guidance on where the work is, how to price yourself and how to build a portfolio worth showing. We do not promise placements, and you should be careful with any academy that does.
