About Celebrity & Photoshoot Makeup
Real Talk: The Life of a Celebrity MUA in Mumbai
People think my job is all glitz, but trust me, asli zindagi (real life) is full of Mumbai chaos, last-minute calls, and lots of scooter rides to fancy hotels. Still, I’m addicted to this rush - especially when I help celebs like Priyanka Chahar Choudhary or Ashi Singh look their best, and their viral photos blow up Insta.
Shoots, Shows, & Big Nights
You’ll see me backstage at Bombay Times Fashion Week, running around handling quick changes and making sure everyone’s ramp-ready. For red carpet glam looks, I come to you – home, hotel, wherever – and stick around so your makeup stays flawless through interviews and flashing cameras.
I get my hands dirty with editorial fashion makeup too. I don’t just do makeup, I help shape the whole vibe of the shoot dil se (from the heart), teaming up with stylists and photographers.
My photoshoot makeup goes from soft ‘no-makeup makeup look’ (super popular these days) to bold smokey eyes, dramatic lips, and even full-on creative themes. Traditional looks? I’m all about intricate hair and ethnic styles, from royal to South Indian.
How I Work: Always Ready for the Camera
I focus on HD camera-ready makeup - it’s gotta look perfect for professional shots but still feel light on your skin. I know Indian skin tones and how to make them pop on camera, so you’ll be confident every step of the way.
