Hello all. I’m new here. Wondering if anyone can help me find a bridal makeup artist in the New York (Queens/Long Isl/Manhattan/Westchester) area.
I went to New Look in Long Island for my engagement…and I thought she was very unprofessional. She’s apparently gotten the idea that she’s some sort of hotshot makeup artist so she doesn’t seem to care as much in delivering a good final product. Examples: She didn’t even have my appointment when I went in to see her…then tried to charge me extra when it came time to pay. Good lord. The makeup she did on me was okay…but I think she’s indian so she layered on very dark eyeliner to give a “smoky bollywood” look. Secondly, she was very distracted the entire time and didn’t even take care to properly blend my foundation. Once it had dried or whatever, it wouldn’t budge, so I couldn’t even blend it in myself. My mom wasn’t too thrilled with it.
I’ve visited Raheela in Brooklyn. Not impressed. Ghetto atmosphere. She does your makeup right in front of people getting their eyebrows or whatever done. She was playing some sort of loud punjabi music the night I went and was doing a bride. Uhh? Not too sure about her final product since I didn’t it done from there.
I don’t want to use a MAC artist mainly because I think MAC products are mediocre and the foundations are not long lasting.
I’ve heard of Laaj studios on here. If anyone has had experiences with other artists…please share 
Also, has anyone heard of Areeba in LI? and also Shehzad in Queens?
