From the quiet lanes of Jorsimal, Jhapa, to the buzzing creative scene of Kathmandu, Nabin Khadka has carved an inspiring journey as a makeup artist, model, and content creator. His story is one of passion, perseverance, and self-expression; a reminder that artistry, when nurtured with heart, can truly transform lives.

From Small Beginnings to the Spotlight

Nabin’s creative journey began after +2, when he moved to Kathmandu for further studies and joined Voux Season 1, marking his entry into modeling. His charm and dedication soon landed him on runways, including the Milano Runway.

Behind the scenes, another love was growing – makeup artistry. Nabin started by doing his sister’s makeup, learning from YouTube and TikTok tutorials. With time, guidance from Sujie Makeup Studio, and a scholarship from Ksuskalogy, he refined his craft into a professional passion.

Turning Negativity into Motivation

What began as casual TikTok live sessions became a platform for self-expression. Despite facing online bullying, Nabin stood tall:

“I never gave up,” he says proudly.

His live makeup sessions soon evolved into full-fledged content creation, featuring GRWM videos, product reviews, and makeup tutorials : all marked by authenticity and courage.

Inspiration and Style

Unlike many creators, Nabin doesn’t follow a single muse. “I’ve learned from many, but my biggest inspiration is my mother, who’s always supported me,” he shares.

His artistry reflects his personality:

• Makeup: Passion – “It reflects my pride and love for the craft.”
• Fashion: Confidence – “It makes me feel powerful and self-assured.”
• Content: Expression – “It helps me show my true self and inner strength.”

Lessons and Growth

Nabin’s journey hasn’t been without lessons. “I used to give too much of myself to others,” he admits. “Now I know love and support should be balanced.”

To his younger self, he’d say:

“You’re stronger than you think. You can fight and win every battle.”

Looking Ahead

Nabin envisions a bright future for Nepal’s beauty industry. “To succeed, a makeup artist must express and communicate confidently,” he notes. His 5–10-year plan includes becoming one of Nepal’s top makeup artists and expanding his creative reach internationally.

Beyond Makeup

Off-camera, Nabin is cheerful and down-to-earth. From making cushion covers to cooking, playing volleyball, or applying mehendi, he brings joy to everything he does. “When you’re around me, expect laughter and fun,” he shares.

Beauty Tips and Favorites

His top advice:

“Don’t use the same eye look on every eye shape; each is unique.”

As for products, his favorite affordable gem is the O.TWO.O Matte Finish Foundation, which he praises for its quality and finish.

Dreaming Bigger

With hard work and creativity, Nabin continues to rise as one of Nepal’s promising beauty voices. His ultimate dream? To open his own makeup studio and teach future artists to embrace their individuality.

“I’ve come this far through hard work,” Nabin reflects. “One day, I’ll share everything I’ve learned with others.”

Nabin Khadka continues to inspire with his passion, creativity, and confidence — proving that true beauty begins with self-belief.
