Professional Saree Draping and Groom Makeup Artistry
Makeup is just the start. At my academy in Goregaon, I teach the finishing skills that complete a look, from perfect saree pleats to natural groom grooming.
Teaching my students how to drape a traditional Maharashtrian Navari saree. Getting the pleats and the fit right is a special skill.
Here, I am demonstrating the art of draping a Bengali saree with its distinctive pleats and pallu style.

About Beyond Makeup: Saree Draping & Groom Artistry
Getting the pleats right on a Nauvari saree takes practice, and that is exactly what we focus on in class. It is not just about tucking it in; it is about pinning and styling for a fit that lasts through a wedding. I also show my students how to do natural groom makeup that corrects skin tone without looking heavy, which is a highly requested skill for any bridal artist.
Saree draping is an art form. In my academy, we move beyond basic drapes to master regional styles. You will learn the precise art of Nauvari (nine-yard) and Bengali draping, including the techniques for pre-pleating heavy silk sarees so you can get a bride ready in minutes. It is about understanding fabric flow, volume, and how to drape according to the client's body type.
We also cover groom makeup. The goal here is simple: clean, healthy skin. You will learn to work with men's skin types, handle pigmentation, and provide a light touch-up that survives long wedding hours. This is about grooming and refreshing, not heavy foundation. Whether you are a beginner or a stylist looking to add these services to your portfolio, you will leave with the confidence to handle real clients.
My classes in Goregaon are limited to 5-8 students. This ensures I can stand right next to you, correcting your hand placement and technique until you get it perfect. You will practice on live models and mannequins, building the speed and precision required for professional work.
