About Featured
On a professional set, makeup requires more than aesthetic skill; it needs technical precision. Whether I am managing 30 outfit changes for an e-commerce shoot or ensuring camera-ready skin for a high-definition TVC, my process involves active monitoring. I stay on standby at the photographer's screen to fix flyaways, shine, or glare in real time, ensuring that the final images require minimal retouching.
My work spans high-fashion editorials, commercial catalogues, and celebrity campaigns. I build my kits with long-wear, international brands like NARS, Kryolan, and Charlotte Tilbury to withstand studio heat and harsh lighting.
Commercial & E-Commerce
For catalogue shoots, the focus is on speed and consistency. I create a master look that remains uniform throughout a 10-hour shift. This includes basic skin evening for limbs and garment adjustment assistance, keeping the shoot flowing without interruptions.
Editorial & Fashion Campaigns
Editorial work allows for creative collaboration. I work closely with art directors to execute specific briefs, from graphic eyeliner looks for beauty launches to avant-garde styles for designer campaigns. My goal is to match the makeup to the brand narrative, not just the model.
Men’s Grooming
I specialize in invisible skin correction for male models. This includes matte-finish T-zone control and natural-texture grooming that looks polished on camera but remains undetectable to the naked eye.
I am based in Mumbai and regularly travel across India for projects. If you have a specific mood board or a campaign brief, I am happy to discuss the technical requirements during a pre-shoot consultation.
