For me, it’s about making a statement, telling a story, or just having fun with bold shapes and color. Whether you want to look straight out of a fashion mag or become a totally new character, this is where things get really interesting. ### Where My Creative Side Shines - Perfect for editorial photoshoot makeup, ad films, or anywhere you want your look to jump off the screen. - Love themed events or stage performances? This is the space for wild, character transformation makeup, whether it’s a fantasy, villain, or even a retro vibe. - Sometimes, you just want to try something new and see yourself differently. That’s cool too. ### How I Work - I’m obsessed with high fashion makeup looks - think fresh, dewy skin makeup technique that really pops under lights, bold graphic eyeliner styles, and those tiny historical details that make a look special. - I get excited about everything from 1920s ‘sad’ eyes to full-on modern avant-garde with sharp lines and playful color. - Collaboration is key. We’ll chat through your idea, moodboard, or reference pics and then I’ll work my magic to bring it to life. I’m based in Bangalore and usually travel to wherever the shoot or prep happens. If you’re up for something a little offbeat, let’s go wild with makeup and see what happens. ## Highlights Browse through Krupa Shah's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/beauty.and.beyond.by.ks/creative-editorial-makeup/featured) - ![This is my modern interpretation of the iconic 1960s Twiggy look, perfect for a fashion editorial or a themed event.
