What does it take to be a top makeup artist in Cuttack?
Reviews set you apart more than stars
88% of makeup artists in Cuttack are already rated 4.5 or higher, so a good rating alone rarely stands out. The number of reviews does: the top 25 have a median of 179, against 92 for a typical makeup artist. Get your free Google review link and QR code.

How was this list made?
We looked at the Google Maps listings shown for searches for makeup artists and studios in Cuttack in October 2026. That covers most of them, but not necessarily every makeup artist in the city.
Each makeup artist is scored by its Google rating, weighted by its number of reviews, so a 5.0 from 12 reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from 600. The score is (reviews × rating + 50 × the Cuttack average) ÷ (reviews + 50).
To be listed, a makeup artist needs a rating of 4.0 or more from at least 20 reviews. Averages count those with at least 5 reviews.
In Cuttack, 65 makeup artists qualified. goKalki is not paid by anyone on this list, and nobody can pay to be on it. Ratings change every day, so each name links to its live listing. If something here is wrong, or you would rather your business were not listed, write to hello@gokalki.com and we will correct or remove it. More on the method: goKalki City Reports.
