While acting in women's roles, he felt the importance of theatrical make-up, and, after some training in Calcutta and Lucknow, he became a makeup artist. From the 1940's to the mid-1960's, he worked as a make-up man for plays at mahbub ali institute, Engineers Institute, and the university of dhaka. Along with this work, he also performed on the stage occasionally, such as in Udayanala (1949).

Suresh Dutta was a progressive man and inspired his daughter, Gita Dutta, to perform on stage despite social and religious opposition. Gita Dutta soon became famous in the theatre world. His eldest son, Bangajit Dutta, was also a make-up man of repute. Suresh Dutta died in 1971 in Kolkata. [Anupam Hayat]
