Makeup a high paying career with its own upskilling and certifications
The HinduWith little to do during the pandemic, Rutuja Warkad was scrolling through Instagram reels. A student of interior designing, Rutuja decided she was going to become a makeup artist -- and bring that glow of happiness on her clients’ face. He says that earlier when salons were the one-stop destination for all the beauty needs like skin, hair, makeup, draping and so on, it wasn’t that respected a profession. With 1.4 billion people, India is the 4th largest beauty market in the world, and it is expected to grow 40% by 2026, industry executives said at Cosmoprof India, a B2B expo for beauty products held at Jio Convention Centre in Mumbai. Rutuja built a client base through her mother’s friends circle, whom she initially charged ₹300 per makeup.
