About Professional Makeup & Hair Artistry Courses
Why We Exist
We started Daniel Bauer Makeup Academy for people who want more than a desk job. If you’d rather play with color than crunch numbers and want to build a creative career, this is your space.
What You’ll Learn
We’ve got three main courses - 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6 months. You can start as a total newbie or come in already knowing some basics. We cover everything: classic bridal looks, fashion runway makeup skills, and even wild creative styles. Hair artistry is just as important as makeup here.
How Classes Happen
It’s all about doing, not just watching. You’ll:
- Watch live demos by our mentors (and Daniel Bauer himself in masterclasses)
- Practice on face charts and real models
- Try out editorial makeup techniques in hands-on sessions
- Get guest classes from working pros and alumni
Your Portfolio
You won’t just get a certificate. You’ll build a real, professional portfolio in portfolio-building workshops, working with top photographers and models so you actually have something solid to show clients and agencies.
Real-World Industry Access
Our artists don’t just stay in classrooms. You get to work at Lakme Fashion Week, Bombay Times Fashion Week, huge designer shoots, and even international shows like Dior Mumbai. This is where the industry connections start.
Who Fits In?
If you’re a beginner, a working artist looking to level up, or just want to leave the 9-to-5 behind, you’ll find your tribe here. When you finish, your certificate comes from Daniel Bauer himself - so you know it actually means something.

My Story
We’re Daniel Bauer Academy, but honestly, we’re more like a bunch of wild stories stitched together. Muskan from Lucknow, Ashna who ditched ordinary for neon and glitter, folks who swapped psychology or talent gigs for brushes and color. Every student’s journey here, it’s electric. It’s not just about makeup - it’s about guts, about finding your own voice, about seeing your work pop at a shoot for the first time. This place? It’s for anyone who’s got that itch to create.
