TBG Indian Academy Awards – Story of Makeup Artist Shyamala

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.
