Professional Makeup Artistry & Academy in Bangalore
I am Shilpa Gowda. Whether you need a flawless look for your special day or want to build a career in the beauty industry, I am here to help. My work combines professional technique with the practical skills needed to truly succeed.
This is the kind of flawless, professional North Indian bridal makeup look I teach my students to master. From the perfectly blended eyeshadow to the radiant skin finish, every detail is crafted to make the bride look and feel stunning on her special day.
Nothing makes me prouder than seeing my students open their own studios. This is why I started my academy: to see women stand on their own feet and build a real career. Her success is my success.
A great artist needs to know their tools. I take my students on product tours to teach them how to build a professional kit smartly, finding the best products at affordable prices. This is practical knowledge you won't get everywhere.
We don't just teach bridal makeup; we explore creative themes like this classic retro look. Learning different eras of makeup artistry makes my students versatile and ready for any kind of client request, from film shoots to fashion events.
My mission is to empower every woman, regardless of her background. When I met this student's mother, a daily wage worker, I promised to teach her daughter for free. Today, she is on her way to becoming a professional makeup artist.
A complete makeover includes beautiful hair. In my course, we cover over 15 professional hairstyles, like this intricate South Indian braid, ensuring my students can deliver a full package to their clients.
It was a pleasure doing this elegant makeover for actress Varshitha Ram. Hearing her praise my academy's quality and affordable ₹25,000 course fee reinforces my belief that professional training should be accessible to everyone.
About this collection
I teach every class at my academy myself, and we do not use dummies. From day one, you are working on real models using professional-grade products that I provide in-studio. My goal is to make high-quality makeup education accessible, which is why I structured my 35-day professional diploma to be affordable, hands-on, and focused entirely on the skills you need to start your own salon or freelancing career.
When I started my journey 20 years ago, I realized that high-quality makeup education in Bangalore was often out of reach due to exorbitant fees. I founded my academy in RPC Layout, Vijayanagar, to change that. This cluster highlights the results of that mission—from the intricate bridal makeovers I perform for celebrity clients to the students who are now running their own successful studios.
My approach is simple: practical learning beats theory every time.

Shilpa Gowda
I have spent 20 years in this industry, and I’ve seen too many talented women drop their dreams because of sky-high course fees. That is why I started my academy in Vijayanagar to give you professional education at a price that makes sense. I don’t just teach makeup; I teach you how to build a life.
