I use skin-safe adhesives and professional grease paints to make sure everything stays put under studio lights for hours. Whether you want a dark, ethereal fantasy character or something raw and edgy for an editorial shoot, I am all about the details. For these darker looks, I often use derma wax and liquid latex to build textures or subtle wounds that look real on camera. I also use industrial waterproof sealants, so your makeup stays perfect even if we are shooting all day. Since I am CIDESCO certified, I prioritize your skin safety while experimenting with these heavier products. We will start with a detailed skin prep, then map out the face architecture before getting into the paints and embellishments. If you have a specific character in mind, let us talk about the props, wigs, and textures you need to bring it to life. ## About Riya Puranik I am Riya, and I love getting creative with makeup. Whether it is a dramatic fantasy transformation or a moody gothic vibe, I am always ready to experiment and try something new with you.
