About Professional Makeup Academy
My Approach to Makeup
Makeup is not about hiding your face - it's about bringing out what makes you unique. I’ve been in the Sandalwood industry for 20 years and seen all kinds of styles. Kelavaru madtare, tumba paint hachidange irutte (some people just pile on paint) - that’s not my style. I’ll show you how to create a natural base and keep skin looking real, not cakey.
What You Learn with Me
I mix old-school experience with what actually works today. My pro course is 25 days, and it’s not just sitting and listening. You’ll be hands-on every day, working with real products and practicing on different skin tones. It covers:
- Over 10 makeup looks, including those seen on celebs and bridal clients.
- Natural base makeup techniques for flawless, water-resistant finish.
- Bridal hairstyling certification - you’ll learn 45+ styles, from classic buns to trendy curls.
- Saree draping workshop with 10+ styles, tips for pre-pleating and box folding.
Building Your Career
I want you to leave confident, not confused. You’ll get a government-approved certificate, a professional photoshoot for your portfolio, and real-world bridal internships. I’ll coach you on how to handle clients and market yourself, so you’re ready to work.
I keep my batches small - if you’re struggling, I’ll help till you get it. Seeing students go from zero to pro, tumba khushi aagutte (it makes me so happy). I’m here to guide you every step.

My Story
Started out just loving makeup, now it’s been 20+ years. Worked with Sandalwood celebs, hundreds of brides, but teaching is where my heart landed. Namma Bengaluru gave me everything, so I wanted to give back. Glitter Makeup Studio and Academy came from that wish. My students come in knowing nothing, leave with confidence. Avrige a confidence bartaalla, adu nange tumba special (When they get that confidence, that's very special to me). Seeing them grow is my biggest win.
