Makeup that respects the intricate details of your couture. I design looks that complement rich textiles, elaborate embroidery, and festive mood boards for campaigns across Mumbai.

About Indian Couture & Festive Wear

When shooting couture, the makeup must support the garment, not compete with it. I balance bold artistic choices with refined, skin-first prep to ensure that heavy embroidery or complex drapes remain the focal point, while the face stays fresh and photogenic under studio lights.
