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.

My Story
Hey, I’m Priyanka. Mumbai is home, but honestly, my makeup kit’s seen more airports than my suitcase! I’ve been lucky - Bobbi Brown ambassador days, wild ad shoots for Samsung, and working with legends like Fahadh Faasil (such a sweetheart). Some days it’s glitz and glam, some days it’s a bride glowing, happy. I just love seeing that fresh face magic, no filter needed. Every day’s a new story.
My Work
Makeup for Celebrities, Brides, Shoots - I do makeup for everyone - from ad films to brides, celebrity shoots, and commercial fashion photoshoots.
Signature Fresh Face & Timeless Looks - Love creating fresh face makeup, natural bridal makeup, glam looks for stars, and soft, timeless beauty for weddings.
Big Projects & Teamwork - Worked on films like Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira, Heeramandi shoots, and assist senior artists. Team energy is everything.
Travel-Ready, Based in Mumbai - Mostly Mumbai, but I travel anywhere for work. Have kit, will travel!
