Niveditha P Weekend Diploma Student ★★★★★

I am Niveditha, I had a wonderful experience with my makeup course and learned so much throughout the training. The product knowledge sessions helped me understand different products, their uses, and how to choose them correctly. The practice sessions gave me confidence to apply makeup professionally and improve my techniques. I especially enjoyed learning different eye makeup techniques, from basic looks to more advanced styles. The hairstyling sessions were also very useful and helped me learn beautiful hairstyles suitable for different occasions. Overall, it was a great learning experience, and I am thankful for the guidance, support, and practical training throughout the course.

Angel Reeta Weekend Diploma Student ★★★★★

I'm very happy to share my review as a student of Varsha Ma'am. Initially, I was a little confused and nervous because becoming a makeup artist has always been my dream, and I wasn't sure if I could learn everything properly. But after attending just two classes, I gained so much confidence and started believing that I can definitely become a good makeup artist. Varsha Ma'am, my favorite celebrity makeup artist in chennai, is very kind, patient, and supportive, and she clears every doubt no matter how many times we ask. The academy also provides internship opportunities after course completion, which is a great opportunity to gain practical experience. I'm truly happy with my decision, and I highly recommend Face Stories by Varsha Academy to anyone who dreams of becoming a professional makeup artist.

Thulasi Manivannan Weekend Diploma Student ★★★★★

I'm truly grateful to Face Stories by Varsha Academy for such a beautiful learning experience. 🤍 When I joined, I had a lot of fear and self-doubt about whether I could actually do makeup professionally. But today, I'm confidently doing great work, and I know I have a long way to go. ✨ A special thanks to Varsha Mam, my favorite and best makeup artist in chennai, for being so patient and supportive. She never hesitated to clear our doubts and always explained everything so well. Her guidance gave me the confidence to believe in myself. The days I spent here were truly memorable, and the knowledge I gained is one of the most valuable things I've learned. Thank you so much, Varsha Mam, for being an important part of my journey. ❤️

Reviews from students who completed professional makeup training and are now working as certified makeup artists.

Palak Saxena Professional Makeup Artist ★★★★★

Let me break down this honest review about whoever is about to join her class. So.. I joined Varsha mam academy 4 months back .. actually I was already student of Asmitha but I wasted my huge amount there. I almost lost all trust on other academies but once I came with my parents, Varsha Mam's confidence again gave me a hope. I didn't wanted to tell my old batch mates to join here immediately because I wanted to get experience here first. I joined here and mam took 4 classes initially. Then her saree Draping tutor gave classes which were really different because what these .. were like new techniques for me even after learning from Asmitha. Then again Varsha mam gave lots of classes and some real marketing techniques that I learnt and skipped in my MBA classes. I swear hardly I have seen any other artist giving such amazing lessons on business and marketing. Finally after completing her course she took me to her bride in Intercontinental Chennai as an intern which was paid. Due to privacy reasons I will not say the amount but yes this academy really again gave me confidence and exposure. Cons : She is so strict while teaching .. but I think this is a good point because she takes her students very very seriously. Pros : Many Many .. From new makeup techniques to amazing marketing tips with paid internships especially. This academy is far better than other in Chennai. Now, I have recommended mam to my other friends and old batchmates and yes, after 4 months now I am also getting my brides. So overall it was a great experience learning and literally gaining huge knowledge here !! Tysm Varsha mam, if possible I will meet you again.

Jeba Jessy Certified Makeup Artist ★★★★★

I'm so happy that I chose this Makeup Academy for my professional makeup course. I successfully completed the full course, and the entire learning experience was amazing. The training was very practical, detailed, and easy to understand, which helped me improve my makeup skills and confidence tremendously. What I really appreciate is that the academy didn't stop with just teaching. I was also given the opportunity to do an internship, where I received many real client orders and got hands-on experience working with different clients. This practical exposure helped me understand how to handle clients professionally and gave me much more confidence as a makeup artist in chennai. I'm truly grateful to my mentor for teaching me, guiding me, and giving me so many opportunities to learn and grow. ❤️ I highly recommend this Makeup Academy in chennai, to anyone who wants to learn professional makeup and build a career in the beauty industry. Definitely a wonderful place to learn, gain experience, and grow! 💄✨

Thank you so much, ma'am, for giving me this wonderful learning opportunity. I really happy that I chose to learn from you. The course and internship gave me a lot of confidence and helped me improve my skills. Most importantly, because of your guidance & internship opportunity, I'm now able to earn through my makeup work. I'm truly grateful for all your support and guidance, ma'am.

Arthi Master Course Student ★★★★★

I joined Face Stories by Varsha for my Master Course in May and completed it in July. I mainly chose this makeup academy in chennai, for the real-time opportunities promised after the course, along with the flexibility and comfort of the learning process. I had learnt from a few artists before, but for me, getting actual client exposure was equally important. And I can honestly say that this was the right place for me. The course was conducted with a lot of flexibility and understanding. Even those who couldn't attend the regular classes were given special sessions to complete their learning, along with flexible payment options. That personal connect really stood out to me. Initially, I had quite a few questions and doubts about how things would work after the course and whether the promised opportunities would really come our way. Some opportunities and updates did come at short notice, which initially made me question how things would work. But after seeing the volume of work Ma'am handles and experiencing the opportunities myself, I understood it differently. For me, the fact that the opportunities actually came through and gave us valuable real-time exposure mattered much more than the occasional last-minute communication. Within less than a month, most of us started getting projects, and my very first outdoor project was at ITC Grand Chola, Chennai, a moment I'll always cherish. Something I had only imagined and wondered, "When will I actually get there?" suddenly became real. Receiving my first professional payment after that experience made it even more special. This journey taught me so much beyond makeup — client handling, time management, professionalism and confidence in my own work. What I received here was not just a course, but a real start to my profession. I'm genuinely grateful to Varsha Ma'am and Face Stories for trusting us and giving me that first platform. These opportunities have given me confidence, while also making me realized how much more there is to learn and grow. I truly hope this is only the beginning of a longer association.
