Need a look that stops people in their tracks? From realistic wounds to fantasy transformations, I bring cinematic SFX makeup to your shoots and events in Mumbai.

A look into my special effects (SFX) work, showing the process of creating a realistic wound effect using professional-grade materials.

About this collection

SFX makeup is all about the details and the base products. I use professional-grade silicone and theatrical wax to ensure the skin effects look realistic, even under 4K camera lenses. If you have a specific prosthetic or character look in mind, let me know the concept details ahead of time so I can prepare the right materials for the shoot.

Whether you are prepping for a horror-themed Halloween party, a creative editorial photoshoot, or need a specific character look for a music video, SFX makeup is the ultimate way to make a statement. It is a different ballgame compared to standard glam.

Unlike daily makeup, SFX is about creating textures and illusions. I work with skin-safe adhesives, theatrical wax, and realistic blood to construct everything from believable wound effects to fantasy characters. The process usually takes a bit longer than regular makeup because every layer of prosthetic or wax needs to be set properly for a clean finish.

If you are planning a shoot in Mumbai, feel free to share your mood board or reference images. I love collaborating on 'Ishq hai yeh' (pure love) projects where we can push boundaries—whether that is graphic fantasy lines or gritty realism. I bring my kit to your location, so we can work comfortably on set.

Commonly asked questions:

  • Does it hurt? No, I use professional, skin-safe products that are easy to remove with the right oil-based cleanser.
  • How long does it last? These looks are designed for the duration of your shoot or party, though the intensity depends on the specific design we choose.
  • Can I bring my own ideas? Definitely! Send me your inspo, and I will match it or guide you on what materials we need to make it happen.
