About Makeup Lessons & Workshops
My Approach
Makeup isn't just about the latest trend. For me, it’s about real techniques that actually work for you. I test every product on myself first - ನನ್ನ ಮೆಲೆ try ಮಾಡದೇ, (without trying on myself,) I don’t recommend anything. Only what lasts, feels good, and looks beautiful makes it into my lessons.
What You’ll Learn
- Lessons are personal and fun - not one-size-fits-all.
- We focus on what matters to you, whether it's mastering a flawless base or nailing a simple office makeup look.
- Want a South Indian festive makeup tutorial? Or just want your everyday natural makeup routine sorted? I’ll help you figure out what works for your features and style.
- I’ll go through your makeup bag, help you choose what to keep, toss, or buy next. Honest advice, no selling stuff you don’t need.
Workshops & Special Techniques
- My workshops cover my most requested looks, especially waterproof bridal makeup techniques. If you want makeup that survives sweat, tears, and a long day, I’ll show you exactly how I do it, step-by-step.
Who’s It For?
- Brides-to-be, busy professionals, beginners, anyone who’s done with confusing YouTube tutorials.
- If you just want to feel confident or learn for fun, you’re in the right place.

My Story
Hi, I'm Mahalakshmi! Makeup is my thing, it's more than work for me. Love seeing brides come back for baby showers, feels like I’m family now. My son, Lil Krishna, keeps me busy when I’m not with my clients. I once wore a saree in Kashmir snow just for kicks! Life’s about small joys, like Varamahalakshmi pooja at home or sharing self-grooming tips with friends.
My Work
Makeup for All Your Special Days - I do bridal makeovers, pre-wedding, ring ceremonies, baby showers, naming ceremonies, and party looks. Self-grooming tutorials too.
Signature South Indian Bridal Makeup - Known for my South Indian Muhurtham look, but I also do soft glam bridal look or bold styles, whatever you want.
Tear-Resistant and Waterproof Makeup - Makeup won’t budge, even in tears or rain. I test every product on myself first.
Family-Friendly Approach - I want everyone happy, not just the bride. I listen, understand, and bring out your best. Seeing you smile is everything.
