Fashion and Editorial Makeup Shoots
I love the energy of a creative set. Whether it’s a high-fashion editorial or a clean commercial campaign, I’m here to make every face camera-ready while keeping your vision in focus. ✨
A closer look at this high-fashion bridal concept. The makeup involved creating a cohesive look for multiple models, focusing on traditional elements like the bindi and nath with a modern, editorial twist.
This video shows the final touches for a commercial shoot. The goal was a clean beauty campaign makeup look that feels fresh, modern, and lets the model's natural beauty shine through.
A perfect example of a soft glam editorial look. The focus is on radiant skin, achieved with careful highlighting and a dewy foundation, paired with a simple yet striking eye and glossy lip.
From another angle, you can see how the light catches the highlighter on the cheekbones. This kind of polished, skin-focused makeup is essential for a versatile model portfolio.
The complete look, combining the wet-look hairstyle with the dewy makeup. This style is perfect for fashion lookbooks and contemporary brands that want a polished, real vibe.
A little behind-the-scenes magic. Here I am applying a soft blush to build that natural, flushed look that is central to my dewy editorial makeup style. It's all about building layers for that perfect glow.
About Fashion & Editorial Shoots
On a long shoot day, your makeup needs to do more than just look good; it has to survive hot studio lights and humidity without caking. I focus on skin-first prep—using specific hydration rituals and sweat-proof primers—to ensure that dewy, fresh finish stays perfect from the first click to the last wrap.
Behind the Lens
Every project is different, and I love adapting to the unique demands of each shoot. When you are working on a commercial campaign or a lookbook, the makeup isn't just about looking pretty; it is about telling the right story. My approach is to ensure the makeup complements the lighting and the texture of the wardrobe, whether we are going for a bold editorial statement or a clean, polished beauty look.
My Approach to Commercial Shoots
- Skin-First Philosophy: I prioritize skin health. For e-commerce and editorial, I use lightweight, high-definition products that provide full coverage without looking heavy under studio lights. This prevents the dreaded flashback and keeps skin looking real on camera.
- On-Set Reliability: I understand the pace of a professional shoot. I am always on standby for touch-ups between outfits—managing shine, flyaways, and lip colors—so your photographer can focus on capturing the shot rather than worrying about the details.
- Collaboration is Key: I believe the best results come from teamwork. I am happy to work closely with your creative director, photographer, and hairstylist to ensure our vision aligns perfectly with the mood board. If you need a specific style for a model portfolio or a TVC, I bring the technical tools—including body contouring and creative textures—to make it happen.
Travel & Logistics
I am based in Mumbai but I am always ready to pack my kit and travel for destination shoots. Whether it is a studio session or an outdoor location, I ensure I am there on time and fully prepared to work with the team on the ground.
