Signature Makeup & Hair Styles
A look at my diverse range of work, from high-fashion editorial concepts to polished commercial glam.
This is an example of my experimental work, using graphic shapes and unconventional techniques to create a striking, futuristic look. This style is perfect for high-fashion editorials or projects that need a bold, artistic statement.
For this ethnic wear campaign, I created a soft glam makeup look with a defined eye and a clean, elegant hairstyle. The goal was to enhance the model's features without overpowering the intricate details of the feathered lehenga.

This is my signature soft glam and natural blowout. The focus is on creating luminous, healthy-looking skin and voluminous, touchable hair, a perfect combination for portraits, headshots, or clean commercial campaigns.

About Featured
I build my kit around flash-friendly, high-definition products like NARS and Danessa Myricks. This is vital for editorial and commercial work, where you need skin to look real and textures to hold up under harsh studio lights without causing flashback.
My portfolio is a mix of commercial reliability and creative experimentation. When I work on campaigns like those for Kalki Fashion, the focus is on a clean, soft glam look that enhances the model without distracting from the outfit's intricate details. I prioritize long-wear bases and precise hair styling that stays put throughout an 8-hour shift.
On the flip side, editorial and avant-garde projects allow me to play with texture and shape. Whether it's creating a wet-look aesthetic or building architectural hair structures for a GQ feature, I rely on a mix of pro-performance pigments and advanced techniques. My goal is always to deliver a look that complements the vision of the photographer and designer.
I am based in Mumbai but frequently travel across India for shoots. Whether you are planning a commercial lookbook, a high-fashion editorial, or a clean portrait session, I bring the same level of attention to the details—monitor checks, flyaway fixes, and skin prep—to ensure the final images are ready for print or digital media.
