Editorial and Magazine Makeup Artist in Mumbai

Editorial makeup requires a different mindset compared to event or bridal work. On set, I do not just consider the model's features, but also the color palette of the clothing, the lighting setup, and the final publication's aesthetic.

My Editorial Approach

• Skin Prep for Print: 'Glass skin' is a standard request for print, but it must be practical. I use high-end HD bases that look like real skin, not heavy product. The texture has to be flawless even under macro lenses.
• Collaboration: In my work for ELLE India, success came from working closely with the stylists and photographers. It is a conversation. If the stylist wants a relaxed, denim-focused vibe, the makeup must be understated and honest to match that mood.
• Strobe-Resistant Techniques: Even for print, studio lighting is intense. I use layering techniques that are resistant to washing out. This ensures that features like cheekbones and the jawline remain sharp and defined even when hit by bright, white studio lights.
• Versatility in Mediums: Whether we are shooting a classic black-and-white portrait or a vibrant color spread, I focus on how pigments read on film. It is less about 'covering' and more about 'enhancing' the natural architecture of the face so the subject shines.
