About Fashion & Editorial Makeup
Why I Love Fashion Makeup
I get such a kick out of working on fashion and editorial shoots. It’s a whole different game from bridal - more room to experiment, break the rules, and just have fun with makeup. I’m all about making bold editorial makeup looks that stand out.
Who This Is For
If you’re a model looking to spice up your portfolio, a photographer with a wild concept, or anyone chasing something out-of-the-box, I’m your person. I do creative makeup for photoshoots and make sure it pops both on camera and in real life.
What I Do
- I’m comfortable with everything from high-fashion makeup artistry to era-based themes. Want geometric glitter blocks? Butterfly wings around the eyes? I’m up for it.
- Vivid colors, metallic lips, sharp lines - you name it, I’ll try it.
- Need a throwback 90’s look with winged liner and bold lips? I can recreate that vibe.
- For models, I’ll help build a mix of looks for your portfolio - smoky eyes, dramatic colors, and always, camera-ready skin techniques so you look flawless under those bright lights.
How I Work
I like keeping things collaborative. If you’ve got a mood board or a wild idea, let’s chat. I’ll make sure the makeup fits the concept, styling, and lighting. Sometimes things get messy, sometimes it’s magic - but it’s always fun.

My Story
Hey! I’m Sushmita Setty, makeup artist and honestly, I’m obsessed with making people feel good. Once did my friend’s engagement makeup - total blast, she looked so happy! Even something simple like a bindi, I swear, can change the whole vibe. For me, it’s all about that beauty-and-beyond feeling. I want you walking out feeling fab, not just looking it.

Makeup for Every Occasion - Bridal (South Indian, Muslim, Bengali), bridesmaid, engagement, sangeet, party, baby shower, fashion shoots, editorial - you name it.
Natural to Glam Looks - From natural bridal makeup to bold 90's makeup, I do it all - whatever suits your style.
Details Matter - Love creating that perfect brown smokey eye or making sure your bindi adds just the right touch.
Making You Feel Amazing - I get a kick out of seeing you happy with your look - it’s all about you!
