A powerful red-themed look for Shefali Bagga, representing energy and love. We used a traditional silk saree with real gold zari and created a soft eye makeup look to balance the fierce, strong vibe of the concept.

An intro to our special Navratri series, where I took on the zimmedari of styling nine television actresses in nine different divine looks. This is the kind of large-scale, creative project my students get to witness and assist on.

About On Set with Celebrities: Real World Experience

You won’t just be watching from the sidelines. When we work on celebrity projects, my students are right there assisting with hair, styling, and final touches. It’s the difference between learning makeup in a quiet room and handling a celebrity’s last-minute request or a sudden lighting shift on set in real time.

Theory is important, but nothing replaces the energy of a live set. At IMUSE, we don't believe in keeping students confined to mannequins forever. That is why this cluster showcases the exact projects where my students put their training to the test.

When we shot our Navratri series with television stars like Pranali Rathod and Ashi Singh, my students weren't just observing. They were involved in the intricate detailing—from saree draping and floral setting to managing the quick touch-ups required between shots.

Learning in a controlled academy environment is one thing, but knowing how to keep your hands steady when a celebrity is waiting on set is a completely different skill. You will learn to manage pressure, understand professional lighting, and see how a concept transforms from a mood board into a final editorial look. This isn't just about makeup application; it is about building the professionalism and confidence that sets a hobbyist apart from a professional artist. Whether it is a 'Boss Lady' corporate shoot or a traditional 'Maharani' look, you get to witness the full lifecycle of a professional project.
