About Creative & Editorial Makeup
What I Do
Creative makeup is my playground. I love soft glam, but honestly? My heart beats for bold looks that go way past everyday beauty. Whether it’s a high fashion makeup look for the runway or transforming you into a fantasy character, I get a kick out of turning new ideas into reality. You might’ve seen my work at Lakme Fashion Week - it’s intense, but I thrive in that fast-paced, high-pressure scene.
Where This Fits
This isn’t your usual party makeup. I’m talking:
- Fashion shoots and editorials
- Runway shows
- Portfolio building
- Themed events, music videos, or brand campaigns
- Anything where you want to stand out and make an impression
My Creative Process
Imagination is everything. Hum sab kuch kar sakte hain (we can do anything). You want avant-garde makeup or illusion makeup techniques? I got you. I’ll use pro materials, airbrush, body paint, embellishments - whatever the look demands. Sometimes it’s about making you look like a mythological deity, other times it’s mermaids or Halloween creatures. I like to keep up with viral social media makeup trends too, so if you want something you spotted on Insta, just show me.
Details That Matter
I’m obsessed with the small stuff - the gems, pearls, glitter, and the way every line hits under the lights. It’s not just makeup, it’s character building. For me, this is art and worship rolled into one. Har Har Shiv Shankar.

My Story
Kem cho! I’m Rinkal, full-on Gujarati chokri but you’ll spot me as a Marathi mulgi when Gudi Padwa comes. Makeup has taken me from winning WorldSkills India gold to doing backstage magic at Lakme Fashion Week. But honestly, my heart’s in teaching and playing with wild looks—sometimes Shiv makeup, sometimes Latina vibes. Makeup for me is more than colors—it's about bold confidence. Bas, adore yourself. Simple.
My Work
Makeup for Every Occasion - I do soft Gujarati bridal makeup, Maharashtrian glam, Sakarpuda, Haldi, Sangeet, parties, plus creative high-fashion looks.
Signature Style - Love soft, simple, stunning looks. But if you want drama, I’m here for it. Your vibe, your rules.
Teaching & Pro Tips - I teach makeup and nails. For stone bindis, use lash glue—trust me, it stays all day.
Bridal Happiness - Seeing brides light up is everything. I create stories—kanku ane kajal ni saanjh ma, ek sundar kahaani.
