About Makeup Classes
About My Makeup Classes
I’m Usha and I teach makeup because I genuinely love helping others discover their own style. My classes are all about finding what works for you, whether you just want to get your basics right or finally nail that soft glam makeup for parties. If you’re someone who looks at your brushes and wonders what to do next, or you want to switch things up from your regular routine, I’m here for you.
What We’ll Cover
- Building your perfect base - think skin that looks natural, not cakey, and stays put.
- Taming the art of no-makeup makeup look for office or college days.
- Tricks to go from a simple look to party-ready in no time.
- Playing with eye makeup - from subtle to bold, even a little glitter if you want.
- Feature-enhancing techniques, inspired by South Indian bridal makeup techniques, but tweaked for real life.
The Way I Teach
I keep things light, hands-on, and very much about your comfort. Nothing intimidating, just honest trial and error, laughs, and real advice. I want you to leave class feeling like, “Aiyyo, I can do this!” (Oh wow, I can do this!)
Who Can Join?
Beginners, regular folks, and anyone wanting a personal makeup lesson. If you’re thinking about getting into makeup professionally, I’ll share plenty of tips from my own experience doing bridal makeovers.
Let’s make makeup feel easy and fun, not stressful.

My Story
Hi, I'm Usha Gopal. Makeup and hair is my way of joining your celebrations, big or small. I get to meet brides for their muhurtham, moms at naming ceremonies, and folks who want all-out color or just a simple glow.

Trust Above All - Many book me without a trial, just by seeing my work. I always give my best for that final, gorgeous look.
Your Style, Your Day - Want a minimal baby shower makeover or something bold? I create what you imagine, so you feel like a stunner.
