Professional Makeup Artistry and Training in Mumbai
I’m Poonam, a makeup artist and mentor with 28 years of experience. Whether you're looking for bridal glam or want to master the art yourself, I teach practical skills that celebrate real, beautiful skin.
This video captures the heart of my pro makeup course. We start with the fundamentals, like understanding the color wheel, then move to hands-on practice where I guide you through each step, and finish with creating stunning, portfolio-ready bridal looks.
I believe makeup should celebrate every age. In my masterclass, I teach how to work with mature skin, focusing on techniques that enhance natural beauty and create a radiant, fresh look without hiding the person underneath.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing my students light up with confidence. This video shares the immediate, positive feedback from a recent self-grooming class, where we covered both theory and hands-on practice.
This is the kind of timeless bridal elegance we create. The look features soft, smoky eyes, radiant skin, and a perfect balance of classic tradition and modern grace, showcasing the artistry I teach my students.
My hairstyling courses cover a wide range of techniques, including the art of the perfect braid. This reel showcases ten different braided hairstyles, from simple and elegant to intricate and festive, perfect for any event.
My 2-day self-grooming workshop is all about learning practical makeup skills that you can actually use on yourself. Here you can see me demonstrating nose contouring and my students engaged in a theory session.
It’s amazing to see beginners become confident in just three days. These are my students from the saree draping workshop sharing how they learned everything from A to Z and can now drape a saree perfectly.
Your professional makeup journey starts here. My 15-Day Pro Makeup Course is designed to take you from beginner to a confident, skilled artist with hands-on training, a professional portfolio, and a certificate.
About Featured
Makeup for me is about celebrating unique features, not covering them up. Whether you are joining my 15-day pro course or a self-grooming workshop at my Mulund studio, I focus on 'real skin' techniques that work on textured, mature, and dusky skin tones, teaching you skills that are practical and lasting.
My Approach to Artistry and Education
I have spent 28 years in this industry, and if there is one thing I have learned, it is that makeup should never hide who you are. My work is divided into two parts: creating stunning bridal looks and mentoring the next generation of artists.
For the Aspiring Artist
My teaching style is hands-on and very personal. My students often call me 'Poonam didi' because I am there to fix those 'choti choti' (small) mistakes that hold you back.
- 15-Day Pro Makeup Course: This is a career-focused program that moves from theory—like the Colour Wheel and skin analysis—to practical bridal mastery. We practice on real clients, not just models, ensuring you are ready for the professional world.
- Hairstyling & Draping: I also offer specific courses for hairstyling, covering everything from soft waves to complex bridal buns, and draping masterclasses to perfect those tricky saree pleats.
For My Brides and Clients
If you are looking for makeup services, my focus is on a natural, radiant finish. I specialize in bridal and reception makeup that looks as good in person as it does in photos. I love working with dusky and mature skin tones, using techniques that ensure your base doesn't cake or crease.
I am based in Mulund West, Mumbai, and I am always happy to travel if your wedding venue requires it. My goal is for you to look in the mirror and feel exactly like yourself, only more confident.

I'm Poonam, and I've spent 28 years learning that beauty isn't about hiding flaws, it's about enhancing what’s already there. I don't just do makeup for brides; I teach students the practical skills they need to build their own careers without the fluff.
