My name is Sonam. I am from Gomti Nagar, Lucknow. I have done makeup course from Noida branch of Meribindiya International Academy and I can say that it is a very good academy because the trainers here are very good. The best thing is that our trainers make us practice a lot due to which we are not left with any doubt. After completing the course, when I went to a salon for an interview and did a make-up demo there, everyone there used to ask me from where did I learn the make-up course from which I am able to do such good make-up. Because no one would have believed in years that a fresher would do such good makeup. Mahi, the owner of Meribindiya International Academy, is very nice and has a completely different nature. The best thing is that she is very down to earth and talks very lovingly. Thank you Mahi mam, our life has changed because of you.
