I’m always trying new things, sometimes it works, sometimes it’s a bit “arre, kya ho gaya yaar?” (oh, what happened?!), but that’s the fun of it. If you’re bored of the same old looks and want something that stands out, you’re my type of person. ### What I’m Good At - High-fashion editorial makeup for shoots – bold colours, sharp lines, and dramatic textures. - Fantasy makeup transformations, from dreamy sun-moon vibes to dark, goth-inspired looks. Rhinestones, glitter, and quirky appliques – sab chalta hai (everything goes). - Graphic liner makeup ideas, like foxtail liners or geometric shapes, for when you want your eyes to be the main event. - SFX makeup for photoshoots – realistic fake blood, cuts, or even full-on character looks for Halloween. - Building portfolio makeup for models and actors – clean, edgy, or totally out-there. ### How I Work I use airbrush, detailed line work, and loads of creative techniques. My kit is always packed with colours, textures, and little surprises. If you’ve got a wild idea or just want to try something mast (awesome), I’m all in. Let’s go crazy with it and make something you’ll actually remember. ## Highlights Browse through Riya Puranik's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/makeupbyriya30/editorial-creative-makeup/featured) - [Video: A celestial-inspired fantasy look, blending the sun and moon.
