Jameela - so did you decide yet? If so, who did you end up going with? I just saw Roseli's work, and that looks pretty decent as well.

Wow - I really didn't expect such a robust discussion, but I'm glad to receive so much valuable feedback. I went though each of the MUAs you guys recommended, and there was something interesting about each one. Some are clearly better than others, but at the end of the day it really depends on your style, your budget, and who you feel most comfortable with.
Ultimately, I decided on Mehwish Khan. I like her work, and got great feedback on her from the private messages I received... (my colleague had also used her so that really helps). I was initially a little concerned about the price, but as someone pointed out, not all MUAs do hair/makeup/duppatta/jewelry setting, so I'm glad she's all inclusive. The most important thing for me is the high-end look I'm going for... and she seems to have a similar taste.
Faiza, as you pointed out, Roselli is also good and at a similar price point as Mehwish Khan. But after speaking to both, I think you'll too feel more comfortable with Mehwish given her experience in South Asian brides.
Now... off to finding a photographer... but of course, I'll post that in a separate thread. Talk to you all soon!
