Learn to do your own makeup. The right way.

Gajahasta is where you learn what works for your skin, your features, and your everyday life — then practise it yourself with expert guidance.

No prior experience required100% hands-on
Does this sound familiar?

You know the steps.
So why doesn't your makeup look right?

✦
01“Why does my foundation look grey?”The shade looked right in the store.
02“Why does it look so easy on her?”You followed every step, but it still doesn't look right on you.
03“Why do I own so much makeup I barely use?”You've bought the products. You just don't know what actually works.

It’s not that you need more tutorials.

You need to understand what works on YOU.

What makes our workshop

Different

✦

You’ve watched enough tutorials. It’s time someone showed you how to do it properly.

01

Built for Indian Skin

Your skin type. Your undertone. Your features. Your routine.

Because a technique that works beautifully on someone else might not work the same way on you.

02

You Learn the WHY

Not just “put your concealer here.”

We explain why that shade, why that placement, why that amount — so you're not dependent on remembering a set of steps.

03

You Practise While We Teach

You don't sit and watch the entire demonstration.

We teach the technique, you practise it on yourself, and we guide you as you go.

04

You Get Corrected

Foundation too heavy? We'll tell you why.

Blush sitting too low? We'll show you where it works better.
Something isn't blending? We'll figure out what's going wrong.
You try again until it makes sense.

The goal isn't to make you good at following a tutorial.

It's to make you confident doing your own makeup.

A note from the founder

You know that feeling when you put on a great outfit?

✦

You stand taller. You walk in differently. Makeup can do exactly that, and it doesn’t take a lot of it.

I started Gajahasta to help you find the look that makes you feel put together and like yourself, every day.

Questions you might have

Before you ask

✦
How do I book?

WhatsApp us and we’ll confirm the available slot and next steps. Your spot is confirmed once payment is completed.

Book on WhatsApp
Do I need any experience?

Not at all. The workshops are designed for beginners. You learn the technique, practise it on yourself, and get corrected as you go.

Can I reschedule if something comes up?

Need to reschedule? No problem. Tell us and we’ll move you to the next available slot.

Need to cancel? It depends on how much notice you give:

7 or more days before your workshop: you get a refund of what you paid, except the GST. GST is the tax included in the price, and that part isn’t refunded.

Less than 7 days before: we’re not able to offer a refund.

Not sure which applies to you? WhatsApp us and we’ll sort it out.

Is there an age limit?

No, there’s no age limit. If you’re ready to learn, you’re welcome.

Can men attend?

These workshops are currently for women only — but we’re bringing a men’s workshop too, and we can’t wait! Follow us on Instagram so you don’t miss it.

What time do sessions run?

Unnati is two 3-hour sessions. Shringar is two sessions (6 hours in total), plus a 1.5-hour Shop Smart session. We confirm the exact timings with your slot when you book. WhatsApp us and we’ll share what’s available.

Ask on WhatsApp
Will I really learn in just two sessions?

Yes and no. Yes — you’ll learn every technique you need to create the makeup look you want, practising each one on your own face while we guide and correct you. No — because perfecting a technique takes time and practice. You’ll leave with the skills and confidence to keep improving, and our feedback support continues after the workshop.

Can I join online?

Yes. Unnati is available online or at the studio. Shringar is an in-person experience.

Do I need to bring my own makeup kit?

No — you don’t need to buy a new makeup kit for the workshop. Just bring the products you already own and use.

We’ll also provide products during the session, while helping you understand what you may have been using incorrectly, what actually works for you, and how to use your products properly.

There’s no need to shop beforehand. You can decide what you actually need to buy after the session, once you know what works for you.

Ready?
