About Commercial & Advertising Makeup & Hair
I thrive on bringing a team’s vision to life, whether it's a clean, Swaṟṇavalli-inspired look or wild, creative makeup for a conceptual shoot. Working on set gets my energy up - I love collaborating with photographers, models, and stylists to nail every detail.
My Style & Approach
Versatility is key for commercial and advertising work. I’m comfortable creating:
- Clean e-commerce makeup: Fresh, natural skin that pops on camera
- Editorial beauty looks: Bold, high-fashion styles, graphic liners, dramatic textures
- Creative conceptual makeup: Out-of-the-box designs, face painting, and artistic flourishes
Training & Tools
I trained at SMA International Makeup Academy, Bangalore, and picked up the “All-Rounder Make-up Artist” award along the way. My kit’s packed with pro products (NARS, MAC, Huda Beauty, Danessa Myricks, Temptu) and I’m skilled in airbrush techniques for a flawless, HD camera-ready makeup finish.
Set Experience
I get the pace of shoots - quick changes, full lighting setups, working on-location or in studio. I keep things efficient so makeup and hair look perfect every shot. Not gonna lie, kabhi kabhi back pain hota hai (sometimes I get back pain), but that’s just part of the gig. Wouldn’t swap it for anything.

My Story
Hey, I’m Shreya. You see those glam pics - 'Aquatic Allure', 'Siren of the sea'? I love making those magic moments with a wild crew. Did makeup for the World's Fastest Human Calculator once, wild ride! But real talk - after shoots, my back and feet are dead. Sensations ka pata nahi, dard toh free mein milta hai (Don’t know about sensations, pain comes free). Still, this messy, creative life is mine and I wouldn’t swap it.
My Work
Makeup and Hair for Shoots - I do makeup and hair for editorial beauty looks, conceptual art makeup, brand campaigns, and traditional Indian styles.
Versatile & Experimental Style - Super natural no-makeup makeup one day, wild pearls and bright paint the next. I love switching it up.
Collaborative Process - I work with the whole team—creative director, stylist—so makeup and hair fits the shoot’s vibe perfectly.
Creative Collaborations - Best projects happen with other creatives. If you want something interesting, I’m in.
