She is the older sister of elegant model Silpa Maskey. She is a self-taught makeup artist who does the creative, bold and beautiful art on a human face. She is a creative and versatile artist.
Whenever she see paintings, masks, or even simply color combinations in everyday surroundings, she is curious to see what it would look like on the human face. She used to draw a lot when she was a kid. She used to lie in bed and let her imagination flow, and she would see the images that she would immediately get up and draw.
Even now after she put her little son to sleep, she lights up the two shoe boxes I have at home and experiment with makeup on her. She was interested in makeup from her childhood. She used to do the makeup of her sister and her friends for the participation of dance programs. She learned most of the makeup techniques from youtube tutorials. She moved to London and peruse the heaps of fashion magazines. Later, she started posting the work of her own online and the Parcha productions of London approached her to work in some of their fashion photo shoots.
In one of the most anticipated annual events among the Nepali Diaspora in Uk, the Parcha fashion show, she was featured as Makeup artist. In last year, she gave birth to a baby and she took the break from her work. Now, she is busy with her works. She has worked with many models and photographers from various backgrounds in London and Kathmandu. Her proudest project up to date is ‘Divine Apathy’, which is a collaboration with photographer Sanjog Rai, which portrays the actress-model Jharana Bajracharya as a regal goddess. The stunning image undeniably shows harmonious chemistry and the creativity between the talented team members.
Her phenomenal act has been published in countless magazines such as ECS Living, M&S in Nepal, FHM in Pakistan, Sikkim-India and plenty others in the UK.
She enjoyed working with Anmol KC on his portfolio. One of the concepts was to present him as the Mad Hatter (Alice in Wonderland) for which they didn’t have any materials whatsoever. On that condition, she and her team members made the hat from chart paper collected her little sister’s hair clips and extensions. Currently, she is doing research in Lakhe (a demon in Nepali folklore) for a fashion editorial with designer
Ashok Awal, which assured to be another visual indulgence as she increasingly finds inspiration from her traditional roots. In Nepal, makeup is limited to commercial and
glamour work so, Sharadha would like to spread the idea of makeup as an art-form, and change attitudes towards it. She says, “Wearing makeup is sometimes assumed to be vanity; people say they would much rather ‘be a natural’. But makeup is not about concealing yourself or wearing a facade. It is a way of expressing your own identity, enhancing your unique features. She feels more like herself when she is wearing makeup and sense a huge difference in the way people approach her.
