Editorial & Magazine Shoot Makeup in Mumbai
From high-fashion magazine spreads to commercial brand campaigns, I create makeup looks that tell a story. Whether it is clean, dewy skin or bold, avant-garde styles, let’s collaborate to make your next shoot stand out.
A striking close-up from a Vogue India shoot, where the makeup was designed to be as artistic as the fashion. The intense eye makeup and unique pearl face accessory create a memorable, high-concept image.
For this Vogue India look, the hair was styled in a low, intricate bun to complement the detailed headpiece and the open-back dress. The focus was on creating a clean silhouette from the back.

This video reel for Elle India gives a "fit check" of the various looks from our shoot. It demonstrates my ability to quickly adapt hair and makeup, from a high ponytail to loose waves, to suit different high-fashion outfits.

For this look in Elle India, I styled the model's hair with soft waves and a touch of volume. This complements the movement of the fringed dress, creating a dynamic and eye-catching image.
About Magazine & Editorial Shoots
When I am on set for a magazine feature or a brand campaign, my priority is longevity and precision under studio lights. I always bring a dedicated touch-up kit—including blotting papers, specific lipstick samples, and lash glue—to manage sweat control and fly-aways throughout the day, ensuring the look stays perfect from the first frame to the final wrap.
Editorial shoots are a completely different ballgame compared to bridal makeup. It is not just about looking pretty; it is about making a statement that resonates with the brand or publication's vision. I have worked with major names like Vogue India and Elle India, and the secret is always in the collaboration.
My Process for Shoots
I start by dissecting the mood board with the photographer and stylist. Is the vibe clean and minimalist? Are we going for high-fashion avant-garde? I adjust my skincare prep accordingly, using luxury serums to achieve that glass-skin base if the lighting demands it. For HD capture, I use high-end products from Dior, MAC, and NARS to ensure every detail pops on camera.
On-Set Reliability
Shoot days in Mumbai are long, and lighting changes can ruin a look if you aren't prepared. I provide full-day standby support for commercial brand campaigns. This means I am right there to manage sweat control, handle texture adjustments, or switch up the look from daytime fresh to evening glam when the shoot schedule demands it. Whether we are shooting at a studio or on location, I make sure the hair—be it Hollywood waves or sleek, structured buns—stays perfect while the makeup remains camera-ready.
