Gouri Kapur has done makeup for high profile weddings -

(Mr. Narayan Murthy's daughter, Mr. Nandan Nilekeni's daughter,

The Royal wedding between Krutika Raje and Akshay Bhansali...)

Gouri Kapur started at a time when there was an unawareness about the difference between a ordinary Salon and a Make up Artist's Studio. She has come a long way by demonstrating the power and importance of makeup by creating a "LOOK".

Makeup learnt on Indian skin helps a Makeup Artist far more than training internationally and then working in India. Always do the other way around, it is always more beneficial if you plan to work in India.

The Makeup Course is of course, beyond just makeup. It teaches you how to analyze your client, stay in tune with trends, and complements the makeup to the requirement, personality and look. This is the real challenge for every Makeup Artist.

Mostly, society now has become more open to the importance and benefits of makeup. With the availability of international brands in the Indian market, it has become more accessible and people have become more aware and experimental. The only thing lacking is enough knowledge. And that's where

Gouri Kapur Academy comes in, as having all products and tools without proper knowledge is such a monumental waste! You may call well done makeup, "non- invasive plastic surgery!" as the Makeup Artist is recreating features with the power of her talent. Makeup done unprofessionally can mar a face, and cause extreme embarassment. IT IS BETTER NOT TO HAVE ANY MAKEUP ON IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE SKILL.

And mostly no one, out of politeness, tells you that your makeup is bad!
