While her work in corporate offered her financial stability, it just didn’t feel like her. She loved makeup and always wanted to express herself more. One day she finally decided to give it a try and created her YouTube channel in 2009 as a 31-year-old woman and a mother of two children. She only had one eyeshadow palette and a few other products. Since she didn’t want to bet on success, she started out with very little equipment: her husband’s camera and her son’s laptop. Soon after, she started to attend internet editing classes to make her content more engaging.
Soon after, it became clear that entering the internet beauty world was the right choice for her. Smitha is now considered a pro at eye makeup. From brows through eyeshadow to the perfect winged eyeliner. She made several makeup tutorials on different kinds of eye makeup, and her results are always flawless. Everyone with hooded eyes knows that creating a perfect eyeliner on this particular eye shape is a nightmare, but Smitha makes it look so easy.
As her YouTube channel got more and more attention, Smitha realized that teaching others is something that brings her joy. So even with her full schedule, she makes the time and runs small makeup classes. Her fans describe her as a calm and focused person who stays away from drama and does what she does best. Her channel is mainly oriented toward makeup tutorials, but there are some makeup reviews as well. And since Smitha’s fans love her personality, they believe that she would not hesitate to turn an offer down if she didn’t like the product.

Although Smitha moved to Amerika, she still loves India, where she came from, and goes there to visit every other month. She also loves to educate her viewers on makeup routines in India and how they differ from the American standard.
