Makeup Academy · India
Intensive, certified makeup workshops designed to travel across cities — and meet you at the level you are already at.
Learn through focused 2–3 day modules. Strengthen one area of your craft at a time. Build towards the professional practice you want.
Professional education without putting your life on hold — no long fixed-format course, no compulsory sequence.
An intensive 2–3 day module on a single area of the craft. Six guided hours a day: concept, live demonstration, hands-on practice and individual correction.
Every module is a complete learning experience and is certified independently. You gain a real professional outcome without enrolling in anything larger.
As your practice develops, three chosen modules combine into a named Etched credential — at whatever pace your work and life allow.
Take the modules in any order, across any span of time. When the three are complete, the credential is yours.

The full credential: complete any technical pathway, then submit an Etched-reviewed portfolio of five finished looks across at least three professional briefs.
Take any one on its own and it is certified on its own. The three that share a pathway stack into a named credential. Filter below to see exactly which.

No compulsory sequence. Start at any level. Each workshop opens with a concise reset of the principles that subject requires — and where more technical control is needed, Etched will say so before you book.
Etched teaches you to understand faces — not simply reproduce looks. The structure, the light, the skin beneath it, the person in front of you. Because a career built on real knowledge does not need a trend to survive it.
Read skin, bone structure, proportion, light, colour and texture before choosing a technique.
Watch a complete professional demonstration, understand the reasoning, then apply it through guided hands-on work.
Consultation, hygiene, timing, kit and client management — the habits required beyond the classroom.
Bridal suite, film set, editorial shoot or everyday client — the craft stays useful wherever your work goes.
You do not need to label yourself before entering Etched. Answer six questions about what you can currently do and what you want to build, and we will point you to the right entry level and pathway. This is a learning recommendation — not an examination.
Etched is built to travel, and this is how we decide where. Nothing is scheduled yet — tell us where you would like to learn, when you could attend and what you want Etched to bring, and it tells us where the demand actually is.
Thank you for telling us where you want to learn. Send the summary below by email, or copy it and message us on Instagram. Either way it goes onto the map we use to plan where Etched teaches next.
