This celestial-inspired look is one of my absolute favorites. I meticulously applied each pearl to create a textural, otherworldly effect, pairing it with a soft teal eyeshadow and a muted lip to let the pearlwork shine. This is the kind of avant-garde makeup I love to create for conceptual shoots.

For the 'Swaṟṇavalli' series, the goal was to create a look that felt both divine and powerful. I used a vibrant magenta eyeshadow to contrast with the traditional gold jewelry and kept the skin radiant and fresh. The sleek, adorned hairstyle completes this modern interpretation of a classic aesthetic.

Hair can be the main event. For this look, I spent hours creating a custom headpiece by individually applying green gems to form a sparkling, textured cap. I paired it with a sharp, lime-green winged liner to tie the whole high-fashion concept together.

This is from my 'Siren of the Sea' concept. I sculpted the hair into a wet, wave-like pattern using a strong-hold gel and created a deep, shimmery purple smokey eye. The single rhinestone accent adds a touch of ethereal magic to this dark, fantasy makeup look.

Achieving that perfect 'glass skin' is a skill I've honed over many shoots. This portrait showcases a clean, luminous makeup look where the focus is on dewy, healthy-looking skin, groomed brows, and a soft lip. It’s perfect for beauty campaigns and classic portraiture.

Throwing it back with this retro-inspired shoot. I had so much fun creating this look, complete with classic hair rollers, a sharp cat-eye, and a peachy-pink blush. It shows how makeup and hair work together to build a specific mood and era for a thematic shoot.

I am never afraid to play with bold color. Here, I created a striking emerald green glitter eyeshadow look, blended out for a smoky effect. Paired with a glossy nude lip and dewy skin, this is a great example of a high-impact editorial makeup look.

About Fashion & Editorial Makeup & Hair

How I Work

I get a real kick out of shaping a look from scratch, especially when the whole crew is vibing on one idea. For me, makeup and hair aren't just about looking good - it's about fitting the mood and telling a story that actually means something. Whether we’re going for a minimal Swaṟṇavalli vibe or something wild and conceptual, I’m most in my element when I’m collaborating and figuring out the puzzle with stylists, photographers, and models.

What I Love Doing

High-fashion and editorial shoots where you want a look that pops on camera
Brand campaigns and lookbooks that need cohesive, creative makeup and hair
Thematic shoots (think Y2K, Euphoria, Siren of the Sea) where we get to play and push boundaries

My Style & Skills

I trained formally so I know my basics, but I get excited by mixing it up. You’ll see me doing:

Glass skin makeup look for that luminous, camera-ready finish
Bold graphic eyeliner and vibrant color palettes - I’m not shy about using green, purple or whatever the shoot needs
Natural beauty shoot makeup for those clean, classic portraits
Creative editorial makeup with textural stuff like glitter, pearls, feathers, and avant-garde hair styling to match

The Hair Story

Hair’s not just a sidekick - it’s the frame for the whole look. I’ll style it slick, wavy, retro, or sculptural to fit the concept. Sometimes it’s a polished updo, sometimes it’s wild.

Keeping It Real

Sensations ka tho pata nahi (not sure about sensations), but yes, back and foot pain bohot hota hai (there’s a lot of back and foot pain) after a long shoot. Still, I wouldn’t swap it for anything else. Being trusted with your vision is something I genuinely value.

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.
