Gone are the days (like really gone) when we’d rely on our nearest parlour wali didi for all our makeup needs. Little did we know, we were getting our faces whitewashed and layered with random pigments — often without a second thought. And more often than not, that was just the norm. Thankfully, the art of makeup artistry reemerged, led by people who live and breathe makeup. Folks who actually know what contour suits what face, which eyeliner shape flatters which eye, and which lip shade won’t wash you out. Thank goodness for them.

Now, while there are plenty of MUAs out there charging a bucketload, many still end up giving you that same parlour wali didi makeup, just fancier and with pricier products. So, to make sure your money doesn’t go down the drain, I’ve crowd-sourced 15 of the best makeup artists in Delhi, tried, tested, and totally approved!

Note: Makeup pricing depends on a bunch of things — location, number and type of functions, the look you're going for, etc. It’s super subjective, so make sure to connect with them directly for personalised quotes.
