About Inside the Shalmia Makeover Academy
I keep our batches small on purpose because everyone learns at a different pace. Jar nahi kalal (if you don't get it), I will explain it again and again until you master the technique—whether it is a cut-crease eye look, a complex braid, or a perfect Nauvari saree drape.
My academy is not just about finishing a syllabus. It is about creating a space where women can build a career. Whether you are a beginner looking for basic makeup and hairstyling classes or a professional wanting to master advanced techniques like 3D makeup application and intricate hair volume padding, I have designed the curriculum to be entirely hands-on.
We cover everything from CTMP (Cleansing, Toning, Moisturizing, Priming) skin prep to color theory and the science of long-lasting products. I know that theory is important, but nothing replaces live practice. That is why you get to work on models, learn the pressure points for hair styling, and perfect your draping skills with different styles like Bengali, Gujarati, and the traditional Maharashtrian Nauvari.
All our courses come with ISO and MSME certification, giving you the professional credibility you need to start your own business. We keep our batches small to ensure I can give you full personal attention, and our studios in Airoli, Kalwa, and Bhiwandi are designed as women-only safe spaces. If you are ready to stop watching tutorials and start learning the real techniques behind professional makeup, let's talk about your goals.
