Sharma continues to inspire with her journey from a make-up artist to a national trainer
Artistry and make-up has been my passion, and I think I was born to be an artist. My journey in make-up artistry began in 2006. After completing a diploma in make-up from NSK (Nirmala Shiksha Kendra) in Delhi, I did a course from the School of Makeup in Singapore. My first big break came in 2010 from The Body Shop where I won the national make-up competition, and subsequently participated and won the international make-up competition held in Singapore, as well. I had to compete with 11 APAC countries!
