Featured Editorial and Commercial Makeup Portfolios
A glimpse into my professional work, ranging from high-fashion editorial shoots and brand campaigns to celebrity grooming. These looks are designed for the camera, focusing on clean textures and radiant, long-lasting finishes.
For this luxury designer campaign, I created a high-glam look focusing on radiant, sculpted skin and a bold lip. The makeup was designed to complement the vibrant hot pink gown, resulting in a polished and aspirational image perfect for high-end fashion advertising.
This is an example of a powerful, character-driven look for a fashion portfolio or music video. I used a deep smokey eye and a defined matte lip, paired with a sleek high bun, to create an edgy and confident aesthetic that commands attention.
In this commercial shoot for a menswear brand, my focus was on clean and natural male grooming. I enhanced the models' features by evening out skin tone and subtly defining their brows and hair, ensuring they looked polished and confident without appearing made up.
Pushing creative boundaries is a passion of mine. For this conceptual shoot, I used bold red face paint to create a graphic, monochromatic look, demonstrating my skills in artistic and avant-garde makeup for high-fashion editorials.
This lifestyle brand shoot showcases my signature 'no-makeup' makeup style. I created a fresh, glowing look for both the male and female models to appear authentic and relatable, which is ideal for e-commerce and advertising campaigns.
Here is a behind-the-scenes look at me providing on-set makeup for cricketer Ajinkya Rahane. Working with public figures requires precision and professionalism, ensuring they look their best under the pressure of filming and studio lights.
For this editorial, I crafted complementary looks for a duo, balancing a strong, defined style for the male model with a softer, luminous look for the female model. This demonstrates my ability to create a cohesive visual narrative for commercial and fashion shoots.
About Featured
When I step on set, my focus is on longevity and texture. I use a 4K-friendly base that keeps skin looking natural under harsh studio lights, ensuring you do not need constant touch-ups between takes. Whether we are balancing a lead model's complexion for a commercial film or creating a bold high-fashion look, my team and I stay by the monitor to catch every detail before the camera rolls.
My approach to these featured projects is built on precision and collaboration. As a Mumbai-based artist, I understand the fast-paced nature of the industry, whether it involves a full-day e-commerce shoot or a complex conceptual editorial.
My Technical Process
- 4K-Ready Skin Prep: I prioritize skin health using premium products from brands like MAC and Bobbi Brown, ensuring the base is seamless and matte where needed but glowing in the right spots.
- On-Set Support: For commercial campaigns, I provide a dedicated assistant. We manage quick look changes and offer continuous monitoring, ensuring that hair and makeup remain pristine for the duration of an 8-hour shoot.
- Male Grooming: My work for menswear brands involves invisible complexion correction and shine control. The goal is a polished, masculine finish that feels completely authentic.
- Conceptual Artistry: For high-fashion editorials, I experiment with textures, graphic liners, and unconventional materials, always ensuring the makeup aligns with the mood board and garment styling.
From our studio in Sion, we travel across India to support production teams. Whether it is a music video or a magazine feature, my team and I bring the same level of discipline and aesthetic focus to every project. We are accustomed to high-pressure environments and take pride in keeping things chill and organized so you can focus on the creative vision.
