Neha Makeup Academy

Best makeup academy in Santacruz East · Mumbai

Learn to do this on someone else’s face.

One of the best places in Mumbai to learn makeup, hair and saree draping — all three, so you can take a full bridal booking on your own instead of splitting the fee with a hairstylist and a draper. Taught one-to-one or in a small batch, by an artist who still works every wedding season.
