About Photoshoot Makeup
Why I Love Photoshoot Makeup
Photoshoot makeup is a whole different game compared to daily makeup. I’ve spent over 5 years working with models, actors, and couples in Bangalore, so I know how much effort goes into making faces look flawless under studio lights and in outdoor settings. It's not just about hiding flaws - it's about creating a base that survives long shoot hours without turning cakey. Sometimes, even the tiniest detail gets noticed in photos, so I make sure the skin looks fresh and natural.
My Go-To Makeup Styles
I’m obsessed with that 'glass skin' finish - it’s radiant, dewy, and just looks wow on camera. For folks who want a soft look, I do subtle glam that’s all about keeping it simple and elegant. And for those who love drama, I go bold with eyes - think shimmers, deep blending, and colours that really pop. If you want something specific, I’m always up for trying new ideas.
Shoots I Specialise In
I do makeup for portfolio shoots, fashion/editorial work, and pre-wedding shoots. Each type needs a different vibe, so I work together with the photographer, stylist, and you to match the look to the shoot. My makeup lasts through hours of posing, changing outfits, and even the Bangalore humidity.
How I Work With You
First, we’ll chat about your vision and what kind of look you want. I’m super flexible and listen to what makes you comfortable. Your happiness is tumba important (very important) to me. I want you to feel confident, whether you want a natural pre-wedding photoshoot look or full-on editorial fashion makeup. Let’s make you shine like a true Krishna Sundari (belle)!
