Re: paki bridal make-up in toronto?
*Ofcourse i have been reading your posts properly, probably you are missing out the points which i want you to consider yaar...Everyone has the right to feel beautiful and look the way they want fine! no arguments there. but i dont agree with you and i wont agree with you when you say that if someone wants too look like a christmas tree an artist should just give it to them, NO WAY! as far as i know no makeup artist be is allenora, deplix, shaheen etc put the same shade foundation on a bride (unless she looks good, has a naturally glowing and flawless skin)... (its only tariq amin whose brides i have seen have same color foundation, and natural makeup which is as natural as it could get hence a lot of people dont prefer him for their bridals) but if a person wants even a lighter shades foundation then that they use already i wouldn't they should give it to them perhaps a shade lighter then their own opinion. but what is this that i see girls who are tan have so light foundation and look all chalky. Customer opinion and satisfaction should not be ignored! yes i agree to that...but charge so much and give them the pastry look they want is a BIG NO NO! for me at least i dont care what you say and believe in since its your opinion, your face you can go and look which ever way you want to :) i have no right over you so i can't tell you what to do; but i have my own opinion as well.

A good makeup artist would always keep in mind that he knows more then the client, yes ofcourse you cannot force a look on to people did i say that though? but at the same time he or she would make sure the client looks good as i said earlier make people look white if they want to but whats the point of making them look like racoons? and waste their money saying they asked for it i just want to keep my clients to myself and satisfied :S And i am not saying that they should satisfy themselves by giving you the look they want to - hello are you not getting me i mean that they should look out for the trends in makeup, make it look natural as if its a part of the persons face...which doesnt shock anyone. and didnt i say that people go to people who are their type so if someone is willing to go to this woman zebi and give her their opinions what they have been doing to themselves, shouldn't she help them out? rather then just giving them the same look yet again..if thats how it was then its good that girls/ladies and women of all ages go to their neighbor hood aunty who was doing that to them all along. *
*Lol, is she your relative is what i meant...because you are promoting her a lot.
No, you cannot be professional if you make someone look bad if they dont know the abc of makeup...everyone has their own opinions and everyone would like to look the way they want but thats why the beauticians do courses and learn the ways...its not hard making people look white, every other beautician can do it even the aunty who is bored of her life and wants to do something and earn money. If you call that professional then its your choice; but why should anyone else pay the price. I was little when my mother took me to this hair dresser who charged less and did everything i wanted her to do...she bleached my front fringes and then put burgundy color on them, she cut my hair the way i wanted to (You might call it professional probably because you think what you do is the best and you dont need anyone else to tell you how you should go about it even when you pay them) but all my friends (good ones) told me that my streaks dont look good at all...they took me to Tariq amin and when he was cutting my hair he told me that its not about what you want always its about looking good at the end of the day, he did my streaks properly and cut my hair properly..i asked that woman to give me a V shape cut and she just left a portion of my hair as iit is cut a little bit from here and little bit from there (i.e. the way one would cut at home soak the hair completely and just cut a shape V). At that time i felt so embarrassed when he took that lath of mine up and showed me how uneven it was looking..it looked as if a portion of my hair shed and it was just tangled.
**No i am not contradicting myself in anyway, i am saying the one must play with the client and not just give them a bad look because they think its great! secondly, as i said no one who likes matte makeup would go to an artist who doesn't do it...similarly people who dont like caked makeup wouldnt go to a one who does that i.e. i dont think i would go to Rose beauty parlour if i am in Pakistan when i know it doesnt do the kind of makeup i want. Taking opinions is good and i told you my aunts story because of that but you see how the lady played with the look...?
