Whether I am teaching my students at the academy or prepping for a shoot with my son helping out, my process is hands-on and chaotic in the best way possible. I believe in honest, real-skin beauty, which is why I prefer building thin, breathable layers rather than heavy, cakey makeup. Makeup for me is about more than just contouring and highlights; it is about connection. When I opened my studio in Kharghar, my vision was to create a space that feels like home, whether you are a bride preparing for your big day or a student learning the ropes. My approach to makeup has always been 'less is more.' In a city like Mumbai, where humidity can test the best of foundations, I specialize in airbrush and HD techniques that stay lightweight and sweat-proof for over 12 hours. I do not believe in hiding your skin; I believe in enhancing it. **Why my academy is different:** * **Hands-on Training:** I teach beginners and pros alike, focusing on real-world scenarios. * **Personal Mentorship:** When I stand in front of my class, I see myself in every student. We cover everything from skin prep to business growth. * **Professional Certification:** Continuous learning is my mantra. My recent training with industry leaders ensures I bring the latest hairstyling trends—from Hollywood waves to intricate bridal braids—to my clients. Being a mom of two means I understand the juggle. I know you need someone who is punctual, professional, and patient. Whether I am doing a 10-minute mommy makeover or spending hours on a traditional Maharashtrian bridal look, my goal is the same: to make you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin. Let's create something beautiful together. ## About Yamini Dogra Hi, I'm Yamini. Being a makeup artist is my passion, but my world truly revolves around my two kids and my academy.
