About Creative & Avant-Garde Makeup
What I Do
When I get my hands on makeup, it's not just about looking pretty - it's about turning someone into a piece of art. I thrive on wild concepts and love teaming up with other creatives to make a vision pop off the page. If you're after something bold and totally unique, you're in the right place.
Who's It For?
- Fashion shoots and editorials needing a strong statement
- High-concept beauty portraits
- Art projects where makeup is a core part of the story
- Anyone keen to try a look that goes way beyond regular glam
My Style & Skills
My training at SMA Makeup Academy (Bangalore & Bangkok) and my 'All-Rounder' award for a final fantasy makeup piece gave me a solid base, but I never stop experimenting. I get a kick out of:
- Fantasy character makeup - from purple skin to Marvel-inspired looks (yes, I make props too)
- Conceptual makeup artistry - think celestial faces covered in pearls or dramatic, moody 'Siren' transformations
- Graphic liner makeup and doodles - I use the face and even hair like a sketchpad
Beyond the Face
Some ideas need pro body paint to really land. I’ll extend a look onto your neck, chest, or even hands to make sure the whole vibe comes together.
The Creative Process
I work closely with photographers, stylists, and models - getting the makeup just right for the lighting, clothes, and mood. It's all teamwork. And, yeah, sometimes it’s a marathon (9 hours of rhinestones means serious back pain, yaar). But that’s part of the game, and honestly, I love it.

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.
