R u paying $400 for mehendi makeup as well? That doesn’t sound right.. why is she charging the same amount for mehendi? My MUA charges $200 for wedding/valima.. and she is sooo good mashAllah! Why should I pay $400-500 to someone just for one day if I can get it done at a more reasonable rate and a better job from somewhere else! So my suggestion to all the brides is to look around and if you can get someone at a reasonable rate then go for a trial with that person! My MUA is seriously a hidden gem! I don’t think she advertises herself so probably ppl don’t know much about her.. I got to know her through a friend..
here is a brief description of my trial wit her:
-
my face was already moisturized so she put a primer 1st
-
She took kraylon foundation sticks and blended 2 or 3 shades with a sponge to create a perfect shade for my skintone..she has other brands too but mostly that is what they use on brides in Pak. She kept blending it until it looked flawless.
-
Loose powder
-
Shimmer powder to give that glowy effect
-
bronze shade to contour my cheeks and nose
-
blush
-
eyes ( used like 4-5 shades and still looked like only 2 or 3 shades were used..she blends it very well) and penciled in my eyebrows perfectly
8.Lips –moisturized it, penciled in, mattifying lipstick, lipgloss and lip plumper
It seemed like she was getting me ready for my actual day not for a trial. Makeup is her passion and as far as I remember she did a makeup course from Bina Khan in Karachi.
If you guys have anymore questions do ask.. I’m willing to help anyone with this info cuz went through the same thing and I really know how it feels!!!
Plzzz ladies don’t pay $400 n up for just one day..these MUA know brides r willing to pay any amount and they take that advantage and rip us off!
Good luck everyone!
