Editorial and Commercial Makeup Portfolio
A selection of my work across fashion campaigns, beauty editorials, and celebrity shoots, focused on high-definition, camera-ready finishes.
A high-fashion look for a celebrity feature with Adline Castelino. The focus here was on creating a powerful, editorial statement with a bold red lip and sculpted features, ensuring the makeup was flawless under intense studio lighting.
This close-up for the Lovechild by Masaba beauty campaign highlights my precision with dramatic eye makeup. The graphic, reverse winged eyeliner is sharp and symmetrical, designed to make the product the hero of the shot.
For designer Kunal Anil Tanna's campaign, the goal was clean and polished men's grooming. I focused on perfecting the skin and subtly enhancing features to look sharp and natural, never heavy or made-up.
A glimpse into a large-scale campaign for Krisha Sunny Ramani's festive collection. My work involved creating complementary yet distinct looks for multiple models, ensuring each one harmonized with the vibrant, detailed couture.
This look for a Schwarzkopf Professional campaign with Alaviaa Jaaferi showcases my 'skin-first' approach. The result is a radiant, dewy complexion that looks healthy and fresh on camera, a signature 'no-makeup' makeup style.
This behind-the-scenes video from a shoot with Adline Castelino shows the makeup in motion. It captures how different looks, from dramatic red lips to shimmering metallics, translate from stills to dynamic video under professional lighting.
A youthful and edgy look created for a Fastrack campaign. The makeup was designed to feel modern and glamorous for a night-out scene, featuring glowing skin and defined eyes that stand out in a low-light, high-contrast setting.
About Featured
The key to a successful shoot is how makeup handles the lens. My process always starts with skin preparation, using hydrating layers to create a natural, dewy base that holds up under studio lights. Whether I am doing a graphic liner look for a beauty campaign or corrective grooming for a menswear shoot, the goal remains the same: makeup that looks real and clean in high-definition video and photography.
Understanding the difference between a red carpet appearance and an editorial campaign is essential. I work closely with photographers and stylists to analyze the lighting setup before picking the products. If the shoot is in a low-light setting, I prioritize light-reflecting textures. For daylight fashion campaigns, I stick to sheer, breathable layers that keep the skin looking healthy without appearing heavy.
My technical approach involves:
- Skin-First Philosophy: I treat the skin as the canvas. My prep usually includes targeted hydration and hydrogel patches to ensure the foundation settles smoothly, preventing the textured appearance often caused by harsh camera flashes.
- Texture Management: For editorial work, I adapt finishes based on the medium. I avoid heavy powders that can look cakey on 4K cameras, opting for spot-concealing and long-wear setting sprays instead.
- Color Theory: Working with fashion designers requires balancing makeup intensity with clothing colors and fabrics. I adjust the tone of the skin and eyes so the makeup complements rather than distracts from the outfit.
- Men’s Grooming: This requires an entirely different skill set. I use matte-finish products to control shine and color-correct uneven tones, ensuring the subject looks polished but completely natural.
Collaboration is the backbone of these projects. From coordinating with the production team to timing touch-ups during quick-change shoots, I focus on efficiency. When you book me, you get a partner who understands how to maintain a look throughout a long set day.
