About Commercial & Celebrity Makeup

What I Do

I’m Priyanka Ashar, based in Mumbai but you’ll find me hopping cities and countries for shoots. My world is all about making faces look perfect for the camera - from ads to big Bollywood sets, and those major celebrity moments. If you’ve spotted a celeb on a red carpet or seen a glossy ad, chances are I’ve had a hand in the look.

Where You’ve Seen My Work

• Film & TV sets like 'Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira' and web series promos for 'Jee Karda'
• Campaigns with names like Myntra, Adidas, Samsung, Maruti Suzuki, Sunsilk
• Events like Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, plus brand shoots and endorsement work

Some of the folks I’ve worked with: Bhumi Pednekar, Fahadh Faasil, Sharvari Wagh, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Hussain Dalal, Elli AvrRam.

My Approach

I don’t do copy-paste looks. Each face, each project gets its own vibe. Sometimes it’s that ‘camera-ready skin’ - natural, fresh, barely-there but flawless. Other times, I go all out with ‘editorial makeup artistry’ - bold liners, retro glam, or a punchy lip for jewellery campaigns. Being a Bobbi Brown pro means I know how products behave under studio lights, especially for Indian skin tones.

Behind the Scenes

Sets are wild places, yaar. I’m used to working with stylists, hair folks, photographers – sometimes I lead, sometimes I’m the backup. I’m quick with touch-ups and know how to make a look last through hours of shooting.
