Celebrity & Influencer Collaborations
Whether it's a high-energy ad set or an intimate interview, I craft camera-ready looks that handle studio lights and HD lenses, ensuring the talent looks flawless from every angle.

I had a wonderful time on this entertaining podcast with Urfi Javed for NewMe. It was a fantastic experience to glam her up and be part of such a fun and creative team.
Sharing the screen with Urfi Javed for this NewMe project was so exciting. This clip shows some behind the scenes moments of me creating two different dramatic looks for her on set.

About this collection
Working on set with celebrities isn't just about applying makeup; it's about continuity and durability. Whether it's an 8-hour shift for a brand campaign or a high-pressure interview, I make sure the base is sweat-proof, flash-friendly, and ready for 4K cameras. I’m always behind the monitor, watching for that one rogue flyaway or a hint of shine so the production team doesn't have to pause the shoot.
My Approach to On-Set Artistry
When cameras start rolling, the stakes are different. What looks good in a mirror often washes out under heavy studio lighting or loses detail in HD. My kit is built for these environments. I rely on high-performance foundations from MAC, Huda Beauty, and Smashbox that provide full coverage without feeling heavy, ensuring they stay put through 12-hour shifts.
Why Continuity Matters
For ad campaigns and video shoots, consistency is non-negotiable. I don't just apply makeup and leave. I log every shade, texture, and application method to maintain continuity across takes. My work on sets—like the character look for 'Dr. Kenny' or the polished finishes for interviews with Anupama Chopra—requires me to be alert and ready for immediate touch-ups between takes.
Technical Skills for Video
- HD/Cinema Ready: I use specific base techniques designed for ARRI and RED cinema cameras, ensuring the skin looks like skin, not makeup.
- Sweat-Proofing: Especially for outdoor shoots in places like Goa or under hot studio lights, I layer products strategically to withstand heat without melting.
- Male Grooming: From anti-shine to under-eye concealing, I provide discreet, professional grooming that keeps male talent looking natural and sharp without looking 'made up'.
If you are producing a campaign, lookbook, or interview series in Bangalore, Mumbai, or Goa and need a makeup artist who understands production timelines and visual storytelling, let’s talk.
