#228 TURNing it up with Sunita Sumaru of Sen Studios

 “The act of doing the makeup is fulfilling, but the way I make people feel is what makes it my calling.” – Sunita, CEO of Sen Studios 

 When you think of Edmonton’s beauty scene, one name always comes up: Sen Studios. In this episode, we sit down with Sunita, the powerhouse makeup artist, mentor, and CEO who has been shaping the city’s beauty culture for nearly three decades. From her early days at MAC in the 90s to building a community of artists through Sen Studios, Sunita shares the evolution of makeup artistry, the rise of inclusivity in beauty, and the challenges—and rewards—of helping people look and feel their best. 

We dive into everything from old Bollywood glam icons, to the impact of TikTok on today’s makeup trends, to the delicate art of listening to clients and tailoring looks that reflect their true selves. 

Whether you’re an aspiring artist, a beauty lover, or someone who just appreciates the power of transformation, this conversation will leave you inspired.
