Bridal makeup artist in Southern California

Hello Everyone,

Happy New Year! I am new to this forum and hoping I can find some help here. I am from chicago but getting married in Laguna Beach and I am looking for someone who does pakistani bridal makeup (including setting duppatta, jhoomer, etc). I am looking for more pakistani style then indian. Preferrably the style that Sabs (in Karachi) has, if you can provide any insight that would be great!

Bump (yet it feels so 90's)

Thanks for posting this Sharmeen, I was going to ask the same. Can anyone help us out with makeup or henna artists in socal? I am also looking for suggestions from norcal as half the festivities would be there. Thanks so much ladies, i am really trying hard to find some Pakistani women who can do the make up and pakistani henna.. but no luck :(

Bridal Makeup- Southern Cali

Please help! Need to find a makeup artist for wedding.

Does anyone know MAC makeup artist in Irvine/Laguna area that do bridal makeup..they tend to be better than the traditional route. But I'll take all suggestions.

I am not from California so would love suggestions from people local to that area.

Also, what the normal rate for bridal makeup + hair?

Thank you,

Yes, but if you search on fb writing "SAIMA freelance makeup artist" you may find her. I can tell you that she is located in sacramento CA.
