Zohair Keswani is a Toronto-based makeup artist known for his modern, skin-focused approach. With nearly a decade of experience across fashion, beauty, and commercial work, he creates luminous, refined looks that balance natural skin with bold, editorial elements.

His work emphasizes the architecture of the face, expressive colour stories, and a sensitivity to texture and light - resulting in imagery that feels both contemporary and timeless. In addition to makeup, he offers hair styling for cohesive on-set beauty direction.

Zohair has collaborated with brands such as Walmart, Instacart, Porter Airlines, Tylenol, Rakuten Kobo, Fuzz Wax Bar, and Sistine Skincare. He has also led masterclasses with MAKE UP FOR EVER and MAC Cosmetics, reflecting his commitment to education and mentorship.

A recipient of the New Gen CAFA Award, his work is recognized for shaping the future of Canadian fashion and beauty through a distinctive focus on luminous skin, colour, and individuality.
