Re: - Bridal Make-up Pictures -
hello all:
so my friend got nikkahofied in june this year and got her makeup done from qadir at sabs. i was her attendant. she looked very pretty but we both got put off by their service. reason is that qadir gave her an outline of lips outside her natural lipline and in reality it looked a bit artificicia and bad and we told him to remove it but he didnt listen to us. it did not appear that bad in the pictures though. after my friends experience we were so put off by sabs butttt three of us friends are getting married in january next and february next year and we ended up visiting sabs, even though we were fully aware of their assembly line tactics and our bad experience with qadir. we visited them on a sunday and there were around 10 brides there and more than a few party makeups. let me be VERY VERY CLEAR. saba ansari and qadirs makeup sucked big time but i saw atleast 6-7 brides of irene and they were all amazing. really beautiful. if you are dark toned, irene is really good with keeping a balance. she will not make you look white but infact complement your natural skin tone, her eyes are dramatic, her base os soft and her lips are soft too. overall i loved all of irenes bride and in the end, three of us friends booked irene for our weddings in jan and feb. i will write more about my experience when i get done there. also, i booked irene for valima and for shadi i booked altaf from nabilas. nabilas has shifted their bridal makeup to N-PRO a studio they opened near cafe zouk. the ambience is sooooooooooooo good that you feel like a celebrity. each bride gets her own makeup room where she and her MUA and an attendant are staying for their duration of the stay. altaf himself is sooooo friendly. he talked to me at length for 15 minutes even though i just went to get a feeel and not make a booking. and i saw his live brides too and they all were very beautiful. his base was smooth, light and flawless, the eyes were not that smokey or dramatic. he makes you look beautiful while making you look you. so i thought ill o for the natural look for my wedding day and the dramatic smokey eyes look for valima so i booked altaf for wedding and irene for valima. my colours are blood red and baby pink/tea pink for shadi and dark plum purple and hot pink with sea green finishing for valima. ill keep everyone posted about my experiences and maybe post pictures too. but my wedding is a bit far away
Hi, can you please tell me how much altaf is charging? and would you happen to know his charges for engagment/party make up? if so please tell me.
