About Photoshoot Makeup
Why I Love Photoshoot Makeup
For me, it’s not about just putting on makeup. I want you to feel bold and confident, like your best self, and make sure that comes through in every photo. Every shoot is a chance to tell a new story with your look.
What I Do
- I create makeup looks that hold up under bright studio lights and high-res cameras - trust me, regular makeup just doesn’t cut it here.
- I work closely with photographers and stylists so your look fits the vibe, whether it’s a brand ad, fashion editorial, or a personal portfolio.
- I’ve worked on everything from high-end jewellery shoots to funky editorial projects. Each one needs something different, and I enjoy switching it up.
My Style & Range
- I love bold, glam looks (smokey eyes, deep reds), but I also do natural glam for model portfolios and clean, understated styles if that’s more your thing.
- Into something traditional? I can pull off concept looks like Iyengar bride or Maharashtrian style for creative shoots.
- Editorial makeup looks are my favourite when I get to experiment and go wild.
What You Can Expect
- Only using top-notch, pro-grade products - your skin and the photos will thank you.
- I’m based in Bangalore and mostly work on-location at studios or any shoot spots around the city. I do travel for shoots too, just ask.

My Story
Namaskara! I’m Padma, and makeup for me is all about making you feel bold, not hiding you. I went from being ignored to feeling respected, and now I want every woman to feel that too. I learnt from top artists like Lakshmi Shetty and Namrata Soni, but honestly, my clients teach me more. Makeup isn’t just colour – it’s your inner fire coming out. I want you to walk out feeling like, ‘yes, this is me!’
