Re: Bridal Makeup
hi everyone, i never posted anything before this is my first time but i normally read everyone elses post especially on the bridal stuff..
anyways i wanted to share my experience with everyone maybe it can be helpful for anyone that gets there make up done in pakistan. and if i figure out how ill post up a picture of my nikkah day.
so last year i had my nikkah done in lahore. I got my make up done from deplix and it was the guy that does the make up for everyon on the drama serials u see on ary and geo. his name is Moon. The main reason why i chose this salon was cuz i heard alot about it and my aunt got her make up done from the same place and same person and believe me her make up came out sooo good that i decided right then that i want the same person for my wedding. but unfortunately my make up was the complete opposite.
My biggest fear was that they'll fill my face with foundation and powder and ill look pale white, (btw my complexion is very fair so i dont need to be anymore white than i already am lol) so i was looking for something very light.
first thing they ask u there is do u want dark make up or light make up and i said light make up thinking that itll be less foundation but it really meant that u want light colors for ur make up.
but anyway so he put the foundation on first and he showed me after applying it and it was perfect, exactly the same color as my skin and i got excited that yayy the foundation is exactly the same as my skin so i thought everything else should go well too ... but it didnt.
the eye make up was realy nice, the eye lashes were ok my eyes are small so it took me time to get adjusted to them, but the worst part was my eye brows and my lips. they took a razor and shaved off hallff of my eye brow and drew it bak with a liner, which i was soo pissed about cuz they didnt ask me before doing it, and they made it more thicker with the pencil and since it was summer time by the time i got to the hall my make up started melting lol and my eye brows started smearing it was so horrible.
so thats the first tip about getting make up done NEVER LET THEM SHAVE UR EYES BROWS OFF.
second tip. if u have normal lips dont ever let them make ur lips bigger. i have normal lips i dont need them any bigger, but he took a lip liner and drew outside of my lips, i was like why are u doing this i dont like it. hes like no u need it ur top lip is thinner than the bottom one. and it came out so weird cuz when i took my pictures i looked so weird smiling it looked so fake and unnatural.
the third thing they messed up was my hair. since im from NY. they thought i wanted to be a modern bride. but i really didnt i wanted a classical traditional look nothing over exxagerated. obviosly they didnt listen to me so he went ahead and decided to make a bun and make curls in the front. but he filled up my hair with so much hair spray that it made my hair all stiff and dried up so the curls didnt come out good. and i kept telling them how much i dont like it so please change it. and he was like noo u look good u look so modern blah blah. i was so pissed. i looked like a slut. i couldnt take it so i went and complained and good thing mussarat bushra was there. so i caught her and was like i am really not happy with my make up or my hair, she was really nice she was like yea i can see why ur not happy. so shes like ok ill change it for u. but there was so much hair spray in my hair they couldnt really do anything. so i just told them how i want my hair put bak with a ulti maang and tikka in the middle so she fixed that for me. but seriosly it was a disaster. i dont think ill ever go bak there for my ruksati or walima.
so when i got to the nikkah hall, which was at mughal e azam in lahore. i was sitting in the bridal room for a really long time. as u kno nothing goes on time. my make up and hair was done really quickly. so i was sitting in the bridal room for over 3 hours. which is really bad in the summer time especially in pakistan cuz everything started coming off the air conditioning was horrible.
but the good thing was that i had time to fix up my make up i make my lips better and changed the color of my lipstick.
so keep in mind to take some makeup with u keep a few lipsticks with u that u want in ur purse that u would want. so u can tell the person that does ur make up, or if he doesnt listen to u then u can change it later on.
another thing is definitly definitly get a consultation before going. it really sucks in pakistan cuz u cant get a trial. but u should go for a consultation and let them kno wat kind of look u are going for and how u want ur hair and everything.
hope it helps future brides.
