September 2021 | MTV Supermodel of the Year Season 2 | Daniel Bauer Academy Takes Over the Glam Scene

MTV’s Supermodel of the Year is back for an electrifying second season, and once again, the Daniel Bauer Academy had the honor of leading all things glam. As India’s premier makeup and hair academy, we take pride in producing world-class artists—professionals who are not only trained to perfection but also ready to take on the biggest fashion TV shows in the country.

An Unparalleled Learning Experience

For our students, being part of a production of this scale is more than just a job—it’s an invaluable learning opportunity. This season, our team was a dynamic blend of senior and junior artists, each bringing their own unique style and aesthetic sensibilities to the table. It was a moment of inspiration as junior students looked up to their experienced peers, and in turn, senior students mentored and guided the newcomers with unwavering support.

The energy on set was electric. Every day was a new lesson, from mastering quick backstage transformations to understanding the nuances of high-fashion hair and makeup for the camera. The collaborative spirit and shared passion made this experience truly extraordinary.

A Special Twist: The Ramp Walk Challenge

This season, Supermodel of the Year introduced an exciting new challenge—the ramp walk. Our students were thrilled to craft breathtaking looks, not just for the usual tasks but also for the high-impact runway moments. They quickly adapted to the distinct techniques required for different settings, ensuring each model looked flawless under the spotlight.

And of course, one of the biggest highlights? Doing makeup for the iconic Milind Soman! Let’s be honest—he’s a favorite for a reason, and working with him was an absolute dream for our team.

#UnapologeticallyYou – A Theme That Resonated Beyond the Contestants

This year’s theme, #UnapologeticallyYou, wasn’t just about the contestants embracing their individuality—it was about our students pushing creative boundaries like never before. Given the freedom to experiment, they turned their vision boards into reality, bringing bold, statement-making looks to life on national television. No rules. No limits. Just pure artistic expression.

What sets the Daniel Bauer Academy apart is the versatility of our students’ portfolios. Their ability to conceptualize and execute high-fashion looks so early in their careers is a testament to their talent and training. Watching them create with such confidence and skill fills us with immense pride.

More Than Just a Show—A Defining Moment

Supermodel of the Year Season 2 wasn’t just about makeup and hair—it was about forging lifelong friendships, learning at every turn, and experiencing the thrilling chaos of backstage transformations. From last-minute look changes to the high-adrenaline energy of runway moments, our team embraced it all with professionalism and passion.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire MTV Supermodel of the Year team for trusting Daniel Bauer Academy once again. Securing a project of this magnitude once could be considered luck—but being chosen year after year for India’s top fashion reality TV shows? That’s not a coincidence—that’s a testament to our artists’ excellence.

At the Daniel Bauer Academy, we don’t just offer makeup courses—we shape makeup careers. And this is just the beginning.
