About Professional Makeup & Hairstyle Artistry Courses
I believe skill matters more than any brand or certificate. Too many jump into courses just because the fees look tempting (summane fees kami ide anta) and end up with patchy base or confused about products. What’s missing? Proper knowledge illa antha (no proper knowledge). My goal is to give you real, in-depth understanding so you can actually build a career, not just learn to copy a look.

- Colour theory for creative looks that stand out

More Than Just Makeup

My Story
Hey, nanu nimma Rajkrish. I’ve seen brides spend crores on weddings, but end up unhappy with their makeup. Makeup isn’t for others, it’s for you. Nimma photos, nimma memories, they last forever. I believe skill matters more than fancy products. Nodu, nanu aavaaga rani tara idde (Look, I was like a queen back then) – that’s what I want for you. I’ve trained thousands, not just in Karnataka but all over. Makeup for me is about timeless memories and building true artists.
