About Fashion & Commercial Makeup
What I Do
You want your campaign or shoot to look sharp and real. I’m here for that. I’m Pooja, and I work behind the scenes in Mumbai as a makeup and hair artist for fashion and commercial projects. If you need makeup that’s camera-ready for photoshoots or a lookbook shoot where the clothes are the hero, I’ve got you covered.
My Style
I’m all about fresh, clean looks that pop on camera but don’t overpower the model or the product. My go-to is a natural vibe, but I also get into high-fashion makeup styling, bold eyes, glossy skin, or even those minimal commercial makeup looks you see in billboard ads. I handle hair too - think sleek ponytails, messy buns, wavy styles, or intricate braids. Whatever the shoot needs, I’ll make it work.
Experience & Inclusivity
I’ve worked with a mix of brands, influencers, and agencies. I know how to blend in with the creative team and keep things moving on set. I’m comfortable with every skin tone and face type, from dusky and brown skin to lighter tones. If you need natural makeup for male models, I do that regularly - nothing cakey, just clean and subtle.
How I Work
My process is straightforward: I listen, adapt, and get the look right for the campaign. Collaboration is key for me, so I’m always syncing with stylists and photographers to nail the vision. If you want someone who actually gets what you’re after, I’m your person.
