About Professional Makeup Artistry
About Me
Nanna hesaru Shilpa Gowda. Makeup is my thing - been at it for 20+ years now. I’ve got international certification and even won ‘South Indian International Best Makeup Artist Award’. Honestly, I believe results speak louder than anything, so namma work alli torsbeku (let’s show it in our work).
What I Do Best
I focus on making you look like the best version of yourself, not just hiding stuff. I’ve seen all kinds of skin - fair, dusky, sensitive, problematic. Enu chinthe maada bedi (don’t stress), I know how to get a flawless makeup for dusky skin that works in real life and on camera.
Bridal & Event Makeup
For brides, I take care of everything - pre-wedding, wedding, reception. You want a classic South Indian poola jada (braided floral hair), a glam North Indian lehenga look, or just a simple wedding day look - I’ll sort it out. When a bride looks radiant, tumba khushi aagutte (I feel so happy).
Not just for brides - I do parties, festivals, family functions, pro shoots, even for celebs. If you want natural bridal makeup or bold party looks, we’ll make it happen.
More Than Just Makeup
I also handle hairstyling (traditional updos, modern curls) and expert saree draping with makeup, so your whole look fits together and stays put all day.
My Tools & Techniques
I use top products, plus HD, airbrush, waterproof, and ‘no-makeup’ makeup styles. Pakka (definite) professional service - your comfort and confidence always come first.

My Story
Naanu Shilpa Gowda. Two decades in this makeup world, and I’ve seen girls drop dreams because fees were sky-high. So I started my academy in Bangalore, first to give a full pro course for just ₹25,000. My students are my kutumba (family). We eat, laugh, and learn together. When a flower seller becomes a bridal artist, that’s my true gift. People talk, fees are low, but my students’ trust is my fortress. Nanna business yaaru touch madokke agalla.
