What is the Makeup Master Course?
The programme is a complete, 30-day training course that takes you from foundational theory to advanced, industry-level techniques used on professional sets. You learn under Chakravarthi Kadali, a celebrity makeup artist with 28 years of experience in the Indian film industry, which gives you direct access to methods used in real productions. The course combines classroom theory with daily hands-on practice, so you build genuine skill rather than only watching demonstrations. You can read more about the mentor on the about page, and view completed work in the gallery.
What you will learn in the makeup course
The syllabus moves through a wide range of makeup styles that professional artists are expected to deliver on demand. You begin with core theory and the colour wheel, then progress to base techniques before moving into finishing styles and demanding, event-ready looks. The course introduces high-definition makeup, referred to as HD makeup, along with editorial makeup for print and camera work.
- Theory and colour wheel knowledge
- Basic makeup and no-makeup makeup look
- Sculpt makeup and nude makeup
- Matte finishing and glossy looks
- HD makeup and editorial makeup
- More than 60 hairstyles
- Saree box folding and over 10 saree draping styles
Long-lasting makeup techniques
Durability in makeup refers to how well a look survives heat, humidity, perspiration, and a long day of wear on set. You learn waterproof makeup, sweat-proof makeup, steam-proof makeup, and drag-proof makeup, which are the methods that professional artists rely on for weddings, outdoor shoots, and long production days. These skills matter in a climate like Hyderabad, where events run long and temperatures stay high for much of the year. The course teaches you how to build, set, and protect a look so that it performs from the first hour to the last.
Bridal and occasion makeup
Wedding clients are one of the most consistent sources of income for a makeup artist in India, and this work demands both technical skill and speed. You learn bridal and occasion makeup alongside the supporting skills that complete a bridal look, which include more than 60 hairstyles, saree box folding, and over 10 saree draping styles. The course also covers flower making, devotional makeup, and groom makeover, so you can serve an entire wedding party rather than a single client. These combined skills allow you to take on full bridal bookings, which generally command higher fees than single-service appointments.
Advanced and cinematic techniques
The course extends beyond everyday and bridal work into advanced methods used on film and photography sets. You learn airbrush makeup, which refers to applying foundation and colour with an airbrush for a smooth, high-coverage finish that reads well on camera. You are also introduced to cinematic makeup, including special effects makeup, referred to as SFX makeup, and prosthetic application used for character and film work. These cutting-edge techniques separate a trained professional from a self-taught beginner and support strong career prospects in film, television, and editorial photography.
What the course includes
Enrolment covers far more than classroom instruction, because the academy provides the products, the practice, and the business skills you need to start working. You receive daily hands-on practice with international products, so you train on the same quality of materials used in professional work. The course also includes a digital marketing class, which teaches you how to promote your services and attract clients after you qualify. On completion you receive an international certificate, and the academy is ISO certified, which supports the standing of your qualification.

Career prospects for a trained makeup artist include bridal makeup, freelance client work, salon and studio roles, film and television, fashion and editorial shoots, and content creation. As we know, the beauty and wedding industries in Hyderabad continue to expand, which sustains steady demand for skilled artists across the year. With a recognised certificate and a strong portfolio built during the course, you are positioned to begin earning soon after you complete your training.
Course duration, batch, and location
The Makeup Master Course runs for 30 days and is taught in person at the Second Skin studio in Punjagutta, Hyderabad.

Batches are limited in size in order to protect one-to-one attention between the mentor and each student. You have to contact the academy directly to confirm the next batch date and to reserve your seat.
