MBT's Mentor-Based Makeup Academy Learn Grow & Earn

Structured Practical Training — From Beginner to Pro

You do not just watch theory videos — you practise on real models from Day 1. MBT walks you through every technique step by step, from basic skin prep and foundation to advanced bridal and HD looks.

Personal Branding & Social Media Support

In today's world, your Instagram page is your portfolio. We teach you exactly how to photograph your work, write captions that attract clients, grow your local audience in Lucknow, and build a professional personal brand.

Business, Pricing & Client Handling Mentorship

Knowing how to apply makeup is only 50% of success. The other 50% is knowing how to price your services, handle difficult clients, manage bookings, upsell packages, and run your business profitably.

You will train with the same professional-grade products used in MBT's actual bridal studio — MAC, Kryolan, NARS, Huda Beauty, and more.

Portfolio Building — Real Brides & Models

Every student graduates with a professional portfolio of real makeup work — not practice mannequins. We arrange model shoots and real client assistance opportunities.

Lifetime MBT Makeup Community Access

What Our Students Say

We Have Helped 100+ Students Start Their Own Successful Makeup Careers. Here Is What They Say

"Maine pehle kabhi makeup professionally nahi kiya tha sirf apne aap par kiya tha. Jab maine Tripti di ke 30-day course mein enrol kiya, mujhe honestly dar tha ki kahin main fail na ho jaun. But Tripti di ka sabr aur unka teaching style itna amazing hai ki maine 15th day tak hi apna pehla paid client book kar liya. Aaj main Lucknow mein bridal bookings karte hain aur per month ₹35,000-40,000 earn kar rahi hun. Yeh course meri zindagi badal diya."

Preeti Sharma, Lucknow 30-Day Foundation & Growth Course

"I came to MBT's academy after completing a basic course from another institute and the difference was night and day. Tripti does not just teach you how to apply makeup. She teaches you WHY. Why this foundation for this skin type. Why this contour placement for this face shape. Why this price for this client. That understanding is what transforms you from a makeup applicator to a real makeup artist. My bookings have gone from ₹2,500 per client to ₹18,000 per client in six months."

Anjali Verma, Lucknow 60-Day Advanced Artistry Programme

"The 90-day programme is not just a makeup course it is a complete business transformation. I walked in as a homemaker with no income and walked out as a professional makeup artist with my own studio setup, a Google Business profile, an Instagram page with 2,000 followers, and three confirmed bridal bookings all within one month of graduating. Tripti di personally helped me with my first pricing sheet, my Instagram bio, and even how to talk to my first premium client. I cannot put a price on that kind of mentorship."

Ritu Mishra, Lucknow 90-Day Master Programme

"I could not commit to a long course because I was managing my household and kids. Tripti's 15-day programme was perfect intensive, practical, and completely focused on what I actually needed to start earning. By the end of two weeks I had learnt everything I needed for occasion and mehendi makeup. I booked my first client the week after the course finished. Now I do 8–10 bookings every month alongside my family responsibilities. This is real financial independence."

Swati Agarwal, Agra 15-Day Fast-Track Course

"I did the 5-day course just to see if I even liked professional makeup. I was not sure if it was for me. Those 5 days with Tripti di completely changed my mind. I loved every single session. I enrolled in the 30-day course immediately after. Best decision I ever made. If you are unsure about committing, just start with the 5-day you will know by Day 2 that this is what you want to do."

Pooja Tiwari, Lucknow 5-Day Introductory Course

We have helped 100+ students and graduates start their own successful makeup businesses, book premium bridal clients, and build careers they are proud of — right here in Lucknow and across UP.

Got Questions ?
Frequently Asked

Everything You Need to Know.

Q: Do I need any prior makeup experience to join?

No prior experience is required for our 5-Day, 15-Day, and 30-Day courses. These are designed from absolute zero. For the 60-Day and 90-Day programmes, we recommend at least some basic familiarity with makeup but even motivated beginners can apply and we will assess your readiness in a quick call before enrolment.

We keep our batch sizes small a maximum of 6–8 students per batch, precisely so that MBT can give every student meaningful, personal attention. This is a mentorship-based academy, not a classroom with 30 students. You will work directly with Tripti every single day.

All practical training is conducted offline at MBT’s studio in Lucknow. Hands-on practice is non-negotiable for professional makeup training you cannot learn blending and HD techniques through a screen. However, theory sessions, business modules, and social media guidance are also available as recorded materials that you can access anytime

You will train with professional-grade products from MAC, Kryolan, Huda Beauty, NARS, and other premium brands. All products are provided by the academy for use during your course. At the end of the course, we also guide you on building your own professional starter kit with product recommendations at different budget levels.

Q: Will I receive a certificate after completing the course?

Yes. Every student who completes a course receives a Certificate of Completion from Makeup by Tripti Academy. For the 60-Day and 90-Day programmes, we also provide a detailed skills assessment and a letter of recommendation from MBT that you can use with clients and on your professional profiles.

Yes – and we actively encourage it. From the 30-Day course onwards, students begin assisting on real client appointments from around Week 2. By the time you finish, you typically have 3–5 paying clients already booked from your personal network, built through the portfolio and social media work done during training.

Step 1: Fill in the enquiry form on this page or WhatsApp us directly. 

Step 2: We will call you within 24 hours for a 15-minute conversation to understand your goals and recommend the right course. 

Step 3: Confirm your enrolment with an advance payment to secure your batch seat. 

Step 4: Receive your joining kit with schedule, product list, and welcome material. 

Step 5: Show up on Day 1 and begin your transformation.

Absolutely. Many of our students travel from Lucknow, Agra, Allahabad, Jhansi, and other nearby cities. We can assist with accommodation recommendations near the studio. For the 5-Day intensive course specifically, weekend-only batches may be available for outstation students – please enquire.
