Sandhya Shekar is an Indian celebrity makeup artist and hairstylist, who is famously known for her signature no-makeup looks, where she tries to achieve natural looks with her makeup skills on her clients.
She worked as a banker in Yes bank for 1 year in Bangalore before she became a makeup artist. She got bored with her corporate job and convinced her parents for 2 months to leave her corporate job to make makeup artist as her career. Her parents didn’t want her to leave her job at Yes Bank. It was on her birthday in the year 2005, when she finally got tired of convincing her parents and walked out of her home to be a professional makeup artist. In an interview with the magazine Grazia, she said,
I quit my job at a banking firm and then researched where I wanted to do my make-up course. Then, I pretty much left everything and dived straight into it.
Being a child she was always infatuated with her mother’s makeup, she stole her mother’s makeup kit and hid away from her mother to put makeup on herself.
She always had an interest in makeup but never knew that being a makeup artist is not only constrained to local beauty parlours but can be a serious high paying career.

Initially, I knew a hair and make-up artist back in Bangalore, so I did a short course under him. Then, I went to the London School of Beauty and Make-Up for a one-month course. I came back to Bombay and did another professional course with Nahush Pise. I still try to do courses every year or attend short masterclasses, trade shows and exhibitions.
Her big break into the field of makeup was when she got to do makeup and hair for a promo shoot for MTV.

Doing Deepika Padukone’s makeup for this year’s MET Gala. It’s every make-up artist’s dream to work on the Oscars or the MET Gala. And I’m very privileged and grateful that I got that chance this year.
