Month: September 2017

Greetings. My name is Lakshmi Vijay, and I have professional experience as a Beautician for around 10 years.
I always liked bridal makeup more than any other beauty service. I have been working as a professional makeup artist for the past 3 years.

I have worked on around 25 brides even when I was a Beautician and around 15 brides as a professional MUA.
A close friend of mine called Rubashree was trained under MUA Shiva. I worked with her for a year and consider her a guide.

My family completely supported me throughout this journey from being a beautician to MUA. I do not have a particular role model and would like to imbibe the best quality in every makeup artist. 10 years from now, I wish to be an inspiration to budding MUA aspirants.

I want to be one of the best in the industry. I know that in the end, hard-work will pay.

Hello all, My name is Shyamala. I am a 37-year-old makeup artist with 6 months of professional experience, and 2 years of part time experience from MUA. I had been working as an assistant professor in an engineering college, but
makeup was always an interest. So I studied a basic 3 month course during my college days.

I have two 2 daughters who are Bharatanatyam dancers, and make up for their performance led to allergies. So I started doing makeup on my own for my daughters after researching a lot about the products.
So I became a self-taught makeup artist.

Following this incident, I quit my job as an assistant professor and took up makeup full time.
My husband is a candid photographer. A client came without makeup for a photo shoot, and I did her makeup for her. This was the starting point. In 2014, I aspired to a create a name for myself as a bridal makeup artist. I’m
inspired by Vidhya’s makeup blogs which draw inspiration from celebrity makeup and
Glamours Pallavi on Youtube.

I focus only on bridal makeup and have done makeup for some big names in Dharmapuri.

‘My name is Sathya. I am a 33-year-old makeup artist with 10 years of professional experience. I have worked with over 1000 brides.

Makeup has been my passion from a young age. My family was not keen with my interest, so I studied a BA course in correspondence. I enrolled myself in the Kryolan Academy for Makeup courses and worked in Naturals, Toni & Guy, Page 3, & I am now a freelancer. My role model is Makeup artist Noor.

I want to create a name for myself like Noor in the industry. I want to enroll in more courses and keep myself updated. My special interest is eye makeup. I did the makeup for Kala master in the ‘Maanada Myilaada’ show, and I would love to work with many more celebrities. I think I deserve this award because makeup is my passion and this award would really boost my identity.’

“Dream” is not just a word! I perceive it as am posing for the Photographer at the event of “India Book of Records” I am thrilled since I have been named as one of the “TOP 3 Bridal Makeup Artist” at the contest where about 366 budding Bridal makeup artist demonstrated their expertise. I was so exhilarated to see the Adjudicator Mr.Vivek and Mr. Shiv from Pro Makeup Academy who are well known for their expertise and judgment. As my heart fluttered with real enthusiasm I treasure from where it all started.

As a little girl, I cherished watching my aunt getting ready for her wedding as the Beautician began applying that Foundation and lipstick. I was awestruck on how my normal looking aunt mutated into a Princess, I heeded her face gleaming up by smooth strokes of creamy and shimmery makeup products.

It was the moment of Euphoria when I held the foundation brush and began experimenting shades on myself by purchasing cosmetic products with whatever Pocket money I contrived to save up.

My parents presumed that it was just a part of kids play. My parents persuaded me to enter the Professional course in the direction to assure a safe future. I did join BBA and did what every student was demanded to do. I was delighted whenever cultural and other celebrations occasions come up because that is when I started being the “official makeup artist” I still remember how girls used to line up and calmly wait for me to bring out the inner beauty in them. They all transformed from usual to exceptional.

At the close of academics, I sprang my career as a Customer care Executive and then resumed working as an HR Official in banking sectors followed by being a Trainer. Nothing was exciting I kept striving hard to find something appealing and ingenious in all the jobs I have been, it all ceased up in absolute job displeasure. It began unfolding in my personal life as well. I remember how my colleague used to make a joke of me because the only time I was active and lively was when I practiced makeup on them on several events. They even requested me to do their makeup for special events.

I proceeded to watch all those makeup tutorials online. From international expert Mr.Mario, Jefree Star, Huda, Kat Von D to Indian genius Mrs. Shainaz Hussain who is so talented and managed to launch her own merchandises. I kept feeling what I was doing to myself was wrong even though I had financial hurdles I took the courage and was ready to take the risk of leaving my well-paid job. And with the amount saved up and my loving husband’s comfort, I associated with one of the leading Makeup Institute in Chennai and sustained intense training.

It was time for me to establish what kind of makeup I really fancied to do, with the remembrance of my aunt’s beautiful face I researched and understood “Bridal Makeup” was what I wanted to do.

I was driven by the most talented Mr A Ibrahim who has placed himself at the top for a decade in the bridal makeup industry. I kept following his work in media and social network and learned about the new trends and techniques which he used to make those brides shine. Every time I gazed at the photos of the new brides I was dazed at how gorgeous they looked also elegant with not even a single imperfection on their face.

Mr.Ibrahim has sowed the confidence and has been a stimulus mentor for many makeup aspirants. His influence has benefited me in being a Bridal Expert and I have felicitously assisted more than 75 brides from multiple parts of Tamilnadu which include all caste and creed. My good work has been identified, encouraged and showcased on various moments especially on Television programs like “Vidiyal Puthusu” in Sathyam Tv and “Bangalore Neram” in Velicham Tv.

I have perpetually strived hard to learn new techniques and an opportunity to learn new trends through an international Training would be a feather to my crown. I would be grateful and shall relish the same endlessly. I would be so gratified to TBG if they appreciate me and award me the “Makeup Artist Award” for the category “A New Entrant into the Bridal Industry Looking for better Opportunities” as I firmly believe their solace would earn me more laurels and make me accomplish my aim of setting my own brand of makeup products. I forever wanted to bring up very own line of cosmetics which will give a diverse dimension to the entire cosmetic business, springing with the creativity to the robustness of the products. I would also devotedly focus on formulating a brand which is not just wondrous but affordable too. Also, I would like to request you to award me for the category “Passionate Amateur makeup artist who wants to pursue this as her dream career” as I have fervidly been chasing this as my mantra since 2011 and shall continue to do so.

“My name is Rekha and I am a  VLCC certified makeup artist. Like most of the girls, I had an interest in makeup from a young age and then it turned into my passion and hobby.

During my teenage days, I always dreamed about a career in the Makeup field and I used to be the favorite makeup artist for my friends and family members. But I wasn’t able to take up makeup as a profession right away as my parents wanted me to complete my studies and take up a bank job.

Then I got married and was busy with my family and daughter, but my passion for makeup did not die and I  badly wanted to pursue my passion. So I decided to speak to my husband about it. My husband supported me and got me enrolled into VLCC to take up a professional makeup course, and that’s how I got trained practically and theoretically to use international brands like Krylon, Mac, Makeup Studio, Makeup Revolution, Temptu, and Bobby Brown.

Initially, I was searching for a job in the makeup industry as a makeup artist but then I decided to start my own venture called ‘Shimmering Makeover’. Slowly I started getting makeup offers from clients for their weddings, engagement parties, baby showers, etc . And then one fine day Ms. Gayathri from TBG gave me a great opportunity to join TBG and to be a part of this esteemed and reputed company.

I have faith that TBG will surely take me to the next level in my work. I’m really thankful to Mrs. Rani Moses, Mrs. Sharanya and Mrs. Gayathri for believing in me and giving me this great opportunity to showcase my talent. My ambition is to create my own name in this makeup field with all your blessings.

Thank you, one and all.”

Rekha’s story has inspired us all and shown us that dreams are timeless and it’s never too late to pursue your passion!

We share with you today the inspiring story of 26-year-old Makeup artist Priya, who has gone through great difficulties in life to follow her passion for makeup.

“I was interested in makeup right from my childhood days. My family was not at all happy with my choice of career. In my days as a student of 11th std, I would lie to my parents and attend makeup courses in Nungambakkam.
I studied B.com for the sake of my family and started working part time in an IT company for financial stability.

Finally, my dream came true in 2011 when I became a professional makeup artist. Since then, I have had the opportunity to help out with makeup in the weddings of many brides.

I want to update myself with the latest advancements in the field and provide the best service I can to the brides.
I have worked on around 200 brides, most of them TBG brides.”

Priya’s story of a passion for makeup that has survived many obstacles, and has enabled her to better the weddings of many brides has inspired us!
