A look at some of my favorite editorial and commercial projects. From high-fashion magazine shoots to luxury brand campaigns, this is where my love for storytelling through makeup really shines.

For a Vogue India event, we created a dramatic and artistic look. The focus was on a bold, smokey eye that complemented the intricate headpiece and avant-garde outfit, perfect for a high-fashion setting.

This look for Elle India is all about sleek, modern glamour. I styled the hair to be smooth and simple, letting the sharp lines of the black leather dress and the model's confident pose take center stage.

For a campaign with Mehta Emporium Jewellers, the goal was to create a timeless and radiant look. I focused on flawless, dewy skin and a classic winged eyeliner to enhance the model's features without distracting from the stunning diamond jewelry.

This is a powerful, high-fashion look I created for a Dior event. The makeup is clean yet striking, with defined brows and a neutral lip, paired with retro-waved hair to balance the architectural silhouette of the outfit.

Here's a dynamic look at the different styles we created for an Elle India shoot. This video shows my versatility in action, moving from a chic ponytail to soft, flowing waves to match each fashion-forward outfit.

A close-up of the makeup for the Anamika Khanna x H&M collaboration. I created a soft smokey eye with a hint of green and focused on glowing, dewy skin to give a fresh yet high-fashion feel that matched the designer's aesthetic.

This video showcases a beautiful hairstyle I created for a shoot, perfect for mehendi or sangeet inspiration. The soft, flowing waves are pulled back with a delicate floral accessory, creating a look that is both elegant and festive.

About Featured

When I am on set for a brand campaign or a magazine shoot, my focus is on more than just the application. It is about creating skin that catches the light perfectly and hair that holds up through hours of movement. I always keep my touch-up kit ready with blotting papers, powder, and hair essentials so we never have to pause the shoot for fly-aways or unwanted shine.
