The Art of Makeup: Creative Editorial and Bold Glam
Makeup is not just about covering up. This is where I experiment with vibrant colours, graphic liners, and avant-garde textures to create looks that truly stand out.

About The Art of Makeup
When I work on these editorial or creative looks, it is all about precision and planning, unlike a standard bridal session. I often use rhinestones or graphic liners that require hours of careful application. If you have a specific vision or a mood board, send it over. Let us discuss if we can pull off that bold, avant-garde look for your shoot or event.
My Creative Approach
For me, a face is a blank canvas. While bridal makeup is about timeless grace, this creative space is where I push the limits. Whether you want a bold, electric blue winged liner, a celestial glam look, or a detailed graphic eye, we are going to make it happen. I do not believe in 'one size fits all' beauty. If a look requires layering pigments or precise rhinestone placement, I take the time to build it right.
Technique Over Everything
Technique is what separates amateur work from a professional finish. In my masterclasses, I always teach that the base must be flawless regardless of how loud the eyes are. Whether we are doing a soft cut-crease or a dramatic halo eye, I focus on blending—no harsh lines, just smooth transitions.
I work across all skin tones and textures. Even with heavy creative makeup, my focus remains on a dewy, non-cakey finish that looks fresh in high-definition photography.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my own creative concept? Yes, absolutely. I love it when clients come with a vision or a specific vibe in mind. If you have a mood board or reference photos, let us look at them during the consultation.
Do you travel for these creative shoots? I do. Whether you are in Delhi, Dubai, or anywhere else for a destination shoot, I am open to travelling for editorial and creative projects.
Is the hair styling included? Yes. For all my creative looks, I work with a senior stylist to ensure the hair complements the makeup. We do everything from sleek buns to textured, editorial-style waves.
Sugandh Khanna
I am Sugandh, and I truly believe that makeup is an art form. I teach this craft to aspiring artists because I value technique over everything—you will not catch me doing sloppy work. When I am not in the studio or hosting a masterclass, I am probably experimenting with a new liner style or jamming to 90's music.
