“You can book a make-up workshop just about anywhere, but discovering your authentic self is better done at Sharmila's. From the moment I stepped into her workshop, I felt an immediate connection and warmth. Besides helping me forge and see the real me, she made me feel accepted and gave me a sense of belonging. I can't recommend her enough.”

“I didn't have any experience with make-up yet, so I came to learn the basics. Sharmila explained me well how to apply the make-up. I liked that she let me apply it myself, instead of doing it for me, so I can also do it by myself at home. My wish was only a little bit of make-up, especially to cover my beard shadow. Maybe next time we can do some more.”

– Wouter Stap

I took this workshop as a birthday gift to myself to improve my technique and to learn more about what works for my face. The one on one session provided a welcoming and safe space to learn. And Sharmila is fantastic at explaining it in an understable manner.

About our founder

Hi! I am Sharmila.

I am a disabled trans woman from the Netherlands and have been a make-up artist since 2016. After working for years in retail for brands and meeting people looking for guidance in make-up, I felt there was a need for space without judgement, exclusion or feelings of unsafety in the beauty industry.

That’s why I decided to start teaching private make-up classes through my company VAIN Beauty, specifically for LGBTQIA+ and disabled individuals. Because I experienced firsthand what it was like to find my way in make-up without someone who understands why we wear make-up and need certain guidance or tools to wear make-up in a way that brings joy.
