Swechchhya Thapa Magar is a passionate makeup artist and hairstylist whose love for beauty began in childhood, inspired by her mother’s lipstick and kajal. What started as playful experiments soon grew into part-time artistry and later professional training in Bangkok, where she mastered technique, hygiene, and confidence.

Today, she is celebrated for radiant, timeless makeup looks and polished hairstyling that complete every transformation, blending creativity with empathy to make every client feel confident, comfortable, and truly themselves.

Approach to Clients & Signature Style

Swechchhya approaches every client with empathy, believing that every face tells a unique story. For brides, she emphasizes emotional connection, offering consultations and trials to ease nerves before the big day, while fashion shoots give her the freedom to experiment and push creative boundaries.

Her mission remains the same across occasions: to enhance natural beauty and ensure clients feel confident, comfortable, and authentically themselves. Her signature style reflects radiant skin, defined eyes, and elegant features that balance glam with sophistication. Perfectly blended eyeshadows, precise winged liner, subtle contouring, and a pop of lip color create timeless looks that photograph beautifully while remaining wearable all day.

Beyond Makeup & Memorable Clients

Her artistry extends into hairstyling, completing transformations with polished finishes, though makeup remains her deepest passion. She often reflects on how her career might have taken other creative paths such as interior design, or even nursing, a dream her parents once held for her. Yet her heart has always belonged to artistry and caring for people.

Among her most memorable clients is Rubisha, a bride who pioneered the white wedding theme and destination wedding in Dhulikhel. The magical ceremony moved Swechchhya to tears, and their bond has since grown into a cherished friendship that shows the deep connections she builds through her work.
