Makeup Artist House Call?

Meet Shikha Arya who transforms faces with a brush

Most young girls experiment with their mother’s makeup, but when Shikha Arya first tried her mom’s eyeliner and lipstick, she was hooked. A natural-born artist, Shikha loved to sketch and paint, was a bright student, and loved science - which led to a career in technology.

But as we know, you can’t suppress real passion, so she transitioned her technical scientific skills to makeup science. After training and certification, Shikha became a skincare ambassador and regional makeup artist for Christian Dior. She honed her skills on TV and movie sets and has become the go-to makeup artist for weddings, special events and for individuals who want a transformative look.

My knowledge of skincare gives clients the resources they need for truly healthy skin, which is the palette you want,” says Shikha. “I’m a versatile artist and can transform your look with contouring or go subtle and natural, and anything in between.” 

Trending in 2023

  • Ditch the foundation and go with sunscreen for protection and concealer for areas of concern.
  • Blush is in and so is looking a bit flushed. Just add a splash of pink or coral blush to cheeks, eyes and bridge of the nose.
  • Grunge is back. Smudge eye pencil to get that messy look.

Shikha’s studio is on the Sandy Springs/Buckhead border, and she will travel to you!
