About High-Fashion & Editorial Looks
Editorial work requires more than standard beauty makeup, as it must hold up under harsh studio lighting and intense camera focus. I specialize in selecting the right textures, from high-gloss face lacquers to skin-safe adhesives for embellishments, ensuring the makeup remains pristine under 4K resolution. Whether the brief calls for a wet-look editorial or a pigment-heavy avant-garde concept, I work closely with your photographer to adjust skin texture and finish in real-time, ensuring the makeup complements the garment rather than fighting against it.
High-fashion projects demand technical precision. Whether we are building a structural avant-garde concept or creating a clean, high-concept look for a magazine spread, my process starts well before the camera starts clicking.
My Editorial Approach
- Pre-Production: I collaborate on mood boards to ensure the makeup and hair direction aligns with the photographer’s vision and the collection's theme.
- Technical Execution: I utilize professional-grade materials like alcohol-activated paints for durability, high-gloss lacquers for that specific glass-skin aesthetic, and structural products like wire or heavy-hold gels for creating anti-gravity hair shapes.
- Lighting Adaptation: On-set, I monitor tethered screens to adjust texture—shifting between matte and gloss—depending on the camera angle and lighting intensity.
- Safe Removal: For heavy avant-garde looks involving prosthetic glue or intricate embellishments, I handle the removal process to ensure the model's skin integrity remains intact post-shoot.
I am based in Mumbai but travel across India for projects. I understand the pace of an 8-hour commercial shift and the attention to detail required for single-look, high-stakes editorial spreads. My kit is stocked for everything from wet-look hairstyles to graphic, precision eyeliner, and I work with a dedicated junior assistant to ensure rapid look changes do not stall your production timeline.
