Allenora--- doubts

Today I visted allenora and got her bridal packages for barat day.
they gave me two packages under 20K
one was in 16K… by the gals working under ainee for 5-10 years
one was in 20K… by the senior artist.

there was packafe in 25K as well… I dint consider coz it was kinda guideline by ainee and i thought its too much for just guidline… all further packages were expensive for me… as I m finalizing 20K maximum for makeup… and more for shoot as every flaw gonna cover in shoot and what post editing is for :smiley:
the gal who was dealin me cudnt temme difference and covered it up by saying that customer satisfaction is our gurantee and we don discriminate btw 20K and 16K… both gonna have same look…

That made me more confused :frowning:

any recent customer from allenora can make me clear this…

they offered photoshoot in very nominal rates… like 14K for couple shoot
I m confused again… I read some bad stories abt their delivery… they assure me that if i pay them additional 2K they 'll deliver me in 5 days…

Re: Allenora--- doubts

I had my bridal makeup done by Allenora. At that time it was just a package between the girls or Ainee herself. I know that Lamiya is very good in her makeup. I also can tell the makeup really depends on your clothes colour. If your colours and dress is unique Ainee herself takes an interest for free. If your dress is red I'd suggest Madiha's instead of Allenora.

Re: Allenora--- doubts

Reema, Trust Annie ....She will do the wonders :)

Re: Allenora--- doubts

I m takin amateur artist package... the minimum one... will ainee take interest ???

Re: Allenora--- doubts

Can i ask them to provide me specific makeup artist ? Ma dress is ruby pink... with purple n english blue...

Re: Allenora--- doubts

i wudnt recommend allenora unless u get her signature line but somehow her own done brides recently have nt turned out up to the mark. earlier i wud always recommend allenora to evryone but def not now.

take yr time n decide.

Re: Allenora--- doubts

any suggestions??? i don wanna spend more than 20K and I got ma nikah makeup from madeeha's... now don wanna go there again :S... any suggestions???

Re: Allenora--- doubts

i dnt know yar. infact i m nt even getting married any soon bt this thought scares me cuz i dnt know whom to trust with my makeup anymore :( lols. i guess u can give a visit to some salons and have a talk with the makeup artist and see their work, maybe that wud help narrow down on someone.

Re: Allenora--- doubts

There is Samira Umar... You can checkout her makeup on facebook. She has a group. Lamiya and her sister are really good with the makeup and both are senior artists. I don't know if you can request them specifically. But I know that Allenora nickel and dimes you for everything. They make you buy stuff extra there.. like lenses and some sort of sponge to do the hair! I agree with zareen... Allenora standards have fallen alot. I also like leena ghani's makeup but with both Samira and Leena I don't know their package rates.

Re: Allenora--- doubts

hey i think u shuldn't hold any dhoubts my close cusin had her makeup done from allenora plus couple photoshoot and it was done by the girls working under annie and they are simplyy amazing. THey did an amazing job. They also gave her a sponge to carry to the nikah because she had oily skin to pat on it to avoid the oil. I think you shuld go for it. Also her photshoot was amazinggg flawlesss. Wishing u all the best.

Re: Allenora--- doubts

ranamary.... when ur cousin got married?
fifz.... where is leena ghani salon ?

Re: Allenora--- doubts

Don't get me wrong I loved my makeup.. But I got married 4 years ago and since than all my cousins got their makeup done from Allenora aswell. But I just feel that she's not what she use to be. Like I said the quality of their work also depends on your dress.
ummm... leena ghani is in GOR 1. Behind Kinaird college. She also has a web page on facebook.

Re: Allenora--- doubts
