Lipstick, palettes, foundation and mascara, colour-true and shot at campaign standard.
Makeup photography lives or dies on colour. A lipstick has to match the shade on the shelf, a foundation range has to read true across every tone, and an eyeshadow pan has to show its finish, matte, shimmer or metallic, in a single frame.
I photograph colour cosmetics for brands that launch shade by shade. Work includes a run of Huda Beauty launches such as Lip Blush, Matte Obsessions, Color Block and 1 Coat Wow, the Mikyajy Eye Expert campaign, INNR Cosmetics, Noha Nabil Beauty and Bourjois Paris Ramadan. Formerly Lead Photographer at Huda Beauty's global headquarters, based in Dubai since 2012.
Lipsticks, glosses and liners. Eyeshadow palettes and pigments. Foundation and shade ranges. Mascara and lashes. Swatches, smears and crushed product. Macro beauty on lips and eyes. Collection flat lays and line-ups for launch, e-commerce and social.
Swatches are where a customer decides. Each shade is swatched and styled by hand, and colour is checked against the product through shooting and retouching, so a lipstick, blush or foundation reads the way it looks in real life.
Shade ranges are lit as one set, so every tone in the range sits correctly beside the next, from the lightest foundation to the deepest.
Lips, eyes and skin up close. Liner, gloss and pigment are lit to show finish and detail, with models directed so the look reads clearly at full frame, as in the Mikyajy Eye Expert and INNR Cosmetics campaigns. Product and on-model shots share the same light, so the launch reads as one set.
Send the products, the shades and where the images will run, and I will come back with an approach and a quote.
Brief and references first, so the look is agreed before anything is lit.
Styling, set and props prepared for the product.
Shooting to a locked art direction, with angles and lighting held consistent across the set.
Retouching and compositing in-house.
Final delivery in the formats you need, with usage rights agreed up front. Clear on what a campaign shot needs versus a clean e-commerce set, and priced to match the work, not by the row.
High-resolution files ready for print, campaign, social and e-commerce. Full commercial usage agreed at the start, no hidden licensing later. Turnaround set to the project.
Makeup launches often sit next to skincare, fragrance and full campaign imagery with models. I shoot all of it to the same standard. See beauty photography, skincare photography and perfume photography in Dubai.
For teams producing at volume, I also offer AI-assisted production for backgrounds, colourways and campaign variations, built on the same shoot and art direction. It is an option for speed and scale, not a replacement for the photography. Ask if it fits your project.
