A Delhi-based makeup artist recently shared a detailed breakdown of her weekly earnings, revealing that she made ₹4.5 lakh in 7 days through bridal and party makeup bookings. Taking to Instagram, Momina, who describes herself as a “Soft Glam Specialist” on the platform, shared a breakdown of her work during the week.
The MUA shared that she began the week with a booking worth ₹63,000 for three makeup looks. She then did a wedding makeup booking for ₹73,000, followed by another bridal makeup appointment in Kasoli for which she charged ₹55,000.
Back in Delhi, she worked on multiple looks for a client and also did party makeup for the client’s family members. The booking, she said, was worth ₹2.2 lakh. Then on the weekend, she did another bridal makeup appointment for ₹37,500.
Adding up the bookings, Momina said her total earnings for the week came to ₹4.5 lakh. “My total for a week is ₹4.5 lakh,” she said in the video.
However, Momina said that the figure represents years of work rather than overnight success. In the caption of the post, she wrote, “People see the numbers, but they don’t see the years of hustle behind it.”
“A fully booked calendar doesn’t just magically happen. Before the premium brides and back-to-back glams, there were years of intense hard work and hustle,” she added.
Momina said that she spent “countless days” doing free collaborations to build her portfolio and prove her skills. She added that her bookings today are the result of consistently learning, not giving up and giving her best to every client.
“Thank you to everyone who supports my journey and trusts me to make them look flawless,” she concluded.
