Who is it for?
This service is exclusively for models, actors, fashion brands, designers, and photographers shooting campaigns, magazine spreads, lookbooks, or commercial advertisements where the makeup needs to make a distinct visual statement.

The Aura Difference
Why Brides Choose Aura By Preetti for Editorial Makeup in Mumbai
Editorial shoots require makeup that translates perfectly under highly controlled studio strobe lighting or specific outdoor conditions. It demands an artist who understands the geometry of the face, advanced color theory, and how to create textures, from ultra-glossy glass skin to velvety matte finishes.

Detail
What makes editorial and fashion makeup different
Editorial work is not bridal work with a different palette. It is built for a specific camera, a specific light setup and often a specific art direction, and it frequently involves several look changes within one session.
Editorial finishes are often deliberately unflattering in person and correct on camera, high-contrast structure that reads as extreme in a room and as clean under a strobe.
Choosing
Should you book editorial and fashion makeup, or something else?
Choose editorial for portfolio shoots, lookbooks, campaigns and press work. For a wedding function, the bridal or celebrity packages are the right fit.
Compare the alternatives directly on the HD makeup, airbrush makeup, signature bridal and party and guest pages.
The trade-off
When this is not the right choice
Every option has a trade-off, and this one is worth stating plainly: Editorial finishes are often deliberately unflattering in person and correct only on camera, high-contrast structure that reads extreme in a room.
If you are booking for a wedding function, Signature bridal or celebrity makeup at ₹31,000 is the better booking — not this one. It is a cheaper mistake to catch now than on the morning.
If you are unsure which package fits your function, send the function type, the venue and the time when you enquire. The recommendation follows from those three facts rather than from the price list.
Timing
How long does editorial and fashion makeup take?
Editorial & Fashion Makeup takes two to four hours, plus 30–45 minutes of setup beforehand. For a 9am muhurat that means starting around 5:30–6:00am.
Send your function time and venue when you enquire, those set the start time for editorial and fashion makeup.
