Whether it is a sleek, wet look for a runway feel or minimal grooming to let artisanal textiles stand out, I adapt the kit to the light and the garment. I perform constant monitor checks to manage shine and flyaways, so the raw footage needs less retouching in post-production. ### My Approach to Editorial Grooming Men's editorial grooming requires a balance between technical precision and creative intent. It is rarely about masking features; it is about enhancing the structure or deconstructing it to fit a specific aesthetic. #### Precision and Versatility For commercial campaigns, like my recent work with Amesh Wijesekera, the focus is often on an authentic, documentary feel. I use high-definition, flash-friendly products to maintain natural skin texture while ensuring there is no flashback under studio lights. This involves using lightweight bases that allow pores and texture to show, keeping the grooming 'raw' to match the mood of artisanal fabrics. For avant-garde and high-fashion editorials, I shift into a different process. This might involve: * **Architectural Hair Styling:** Using wet-look gels, wire-work, or sculptural buns to add shape. * **Graphic Elements:** Applying sharp, clean graphic eyeliner or experimental pigments to create futuristic or emotive faces. * **Texture Play:** Working with faux freckles, metallic finishes, or props (like the red thread series) to push the boundaries of what is traditionally expected in men's makeup. #### The Collaborative Process I do not just show up with a kit. I believe in pre-shoot alignment. If you have a mood board, I study the lighting plans, the garment textures, and the photographer's preferred color palette before I step on set. I act as an extension of the creative team, ensuring the makeup and hair evolve with the shoot as we progress from the first frame to the last. ## About Deepti Soste I am Deepti, and I believe men's grooming in editorials should be as intentional as the styling. I collaborate directly with photographers and stylists to ensure the makeup elevates the narrative, whether the brief is subtle, raw, or completely experimental.
