Marking another anniversary of her beauty venture, Shridhika looks back on a journey defined by passion, perseverance, and purpose. Armed with abackgroundin Business Administration (BBA), she turned her love for beauty into a thriving career as amakeup artistand cosmetic tattoo artist. Today, her work goes beyond makeup, it’s about helping clients embrace their individuality while building a brand rooted in trust, artistry, and transformation.

From Hobby to Calling

What started as casual face painting posted online during the pandemic soon became something bigger. When students began asking her to mentor them, Shridhika realized her makeup tips were shaping confidence, not just appearances. That realization, she says, is when a hobby became a calling.

Reading the Room First

When a client sits down with nothing but a vague request to “look beautiful,” Shridhika starts with conversation. She focuses first on making people feel seen, then on the skin and eyes, which she believes carry the mostemotionand define a face’s overall harmony.

Consistency Over Comparison

To her students, Shridhika’s core lesson is simple: consistency builds skill far more than expensive tools ever could. She has watched students as young as 16 and as old as their 40s grow into confident artists through patience and practice alone.

A Project Close to Her Heart

Among her projects, the music video Atteri by Sushant KC remains closest to her heart. Working across characters fromchildhoodto adulthood during a grueling 21 hour shoot, Shridhika says the project felt less like makeup and more like storytelling.

Advice for the Next Generation

For young girls in Nepal hoping to break into the industry, Shridhika’s advice is to find a mentor whose style aligns with their vision, learn through that relationship, and let consistency do the rest.

Quick Tips & Tricks

Best all-skill-level kit essential?
Concealer in your exact shade. It fixes tanning, unevenness, and dark circles, and works as a quick fix without a full foundation.

Common mistake with a simple fix?
Using wet wipes on mascara or eyeliner smudges. A spoolie works better; brush gently until it lifts, then reapply. Also, skip heavy matte products on errors; a light blend looks more natural than cakey coverage.

Skincare step most people skip?
Gentle exfoliation before makeup. Shridhika prefers Korean toner pads over harsh scrubs for a soft glow and smoother base.

Trick for all-day wear?
Hydrate first, apply foundation in thin layers, then set with powder and a setting spray and fixer combo.

How to make it last on rainy days?
Use a light, water-resistant base, waterproof gel eyeliner and mascara, then lock it all in with fine setting powder and a strong fixing spray.
