Meet Your Trainer: Aditi Harde’s 10+ Years Behind the Chair
Choosing a makeup academy is really choosing a trainer. The syllabus on a brochure matters far less than who is standing next to you when your first live model is in the chair and the base isn’t sitting right. At Aditi Beauty School, that person is Aditi Harde.
Quick Answer
Aditi Harde is a professional makeup artist and trainer based in Nagpur with over 10 years of hands-on industry experience. She founded Aditi Beauty School and Salon in 2013 and personally leads training in bridal, HD, and airbrush makeup, while continuing to take client bookings alongside teaching.
A Trainer Who Still Works With Clients
There is a meaningful difference between someone who teaches makeup and someone who does makeup and teaches it. Techniques change. Products change. Client expectations change fastest of all what photographed well five years ago looks dated under today’s cameras.
Aditi Harde continues to take bridal and event bookings through the salon side of the business. That means students learn current, working technique rather than a syllabus frozen at the point the trainer stopped practising.
What She Teaches
Bridal makeup – longevity-focused application built for 8-12 hour wedding days
HD makeup – finishes designed for high-resolution photography and videography
Airbrush makeup – lightweight, sweat-resistant application for outdoor and summer functions
Skin prep and base work – the foundation most self-taught artists skip
Draping and hairstyling basics – so graduates can offer a complete bridal service
Teaching Philosophy
Three principles shape how training runs at the academy:
- Fundamentals before flair. Students spend real time on skin analysis, undertone matching, and base work before touching a dramatic eye look. Impressive makeup on prepped skin is technique; impressive makeup on unprepped skin is luck.
- Live models, not just mannequins. Working on real faces, with real skin types and real time pressure, is where technique becomes reliable. Practicals are non-negotiable in every batch.
- Small enough batches to actually correct you. Feedback matters only if it reaches you. Batch sizes are kept at a level where the trainer can watch and correct each student’s hands, not just demonstrate at the front of the room.
