Paki Bridal Make-up in Toronto

Hi,

I think you should give Angell a chance as she was the best out of the three I went to so far. I liked her makeup and did think it made me look slightly better, I have no complaints about her makeup application or the colours used, I just didn't like the foundation coverage too much, she thought I had good skin so didn't use so much product. But, I would still give her a shot!

Tell me what you think!

Hi Star,

Actually, I don't require a robot I just would like someone to do a good job, which makes me look good for my wedding, every bride's dream is too look good. I'm not expecting to turn into Aishwarya Rai, but to just look better with makeup than I usually do. I've had makeup artists I've liked before and makeup artists I don't based on party makeup alone. I'm not an expert or I would do it myself.....

Also, I did not say these makeup artists were incompetent, and by no means they are. They are all very nice and very professional. I'm only providing my opinion on the results they've acheived so far and I am not dissing them all, just providing pros and cons for each. There are definitely pros!!! And obviously there are cons, because no one is perfect = that concept does not allude me.

I am still planning on hiring one of the makeup artists that I will have been to a trial with (I'm still going to go to more), but just planning on politely asking them to fix the cons or fixing it myself.

With Dimple, yeah, it does look like I have makeup on and overall it is an adequate job, but I personally feel I can do better and look better without the makeup and that was NOT based on my opinion only but of family and friends (tons of) also, so obviously, this is not someone I will book, but perhaps others will like her look. I also liked Kathleen's look overall, but I would definitely do the eye liner and lipstick myself. And with Angell, all I would want is better foundation/concealer coverage. But, I'm still going to look around for other makeup artists that are up to par with makeup I have done in the past (those artists don't specialize in desi bridal makeup or I would have asked them) and choose the best one, knowing that there are cons for each one.

I just thought I would list pros and cons for each one for those people who are looking to book someone and whatever cons someone can deal with they can go check out a trial. Going for Trial makeup to alot of artists is expensive, so its best if we try to help each other out, rather than create negative energy.

At the end, its just my opinion!!!

I doubt an artist is only as good as their canvas, have you ever seen celebrities without makeup? The job and role of makeup and makeup artists is to improve appearance, if it doesn’t than, you can go without or find something else.

I have experimented with different makeup in general and it can improve my looks from no difference to pretty, same with makeup artists, I’ve had some makeup artist make me look like a clown to quite striking.

I’m not trying to say the makeup artists that I went to suck, because they definitely don’t, each of them have their strengths and weakenesses which I have tried to list, I don’t know why this is so hard for everyone to swallow.

If you guys would not like any reviews, than please let me know and I will stop, I only meant to list the strength and weakenesses of each artists, for people to come to their on conclusions.

Oh no, please do write reviews, I am sure its going to be helpful for everyone looking for a makeup artist. You are doing the right thing by listing the pros and cons, that's what I would do too.

I think what others are saying is that if you dont like a little something that a makeup artist is doing, maybe you can tell her to do it how you want, or show her a photo of a bridal makeup that you liked the best. I am sure, they can follow that, considering they are all professionals. :)

And thanks, I will go for the trial w/ Angell, will let my opinion know then! :)

Re: Best Makeup Artist in Canada - Ontario GTA, Toronto, Markham, Missauga, etc

One should always choose what they feel rather than what people's opinion because everyone has a different opinion and they all look at a different angle, as I maentioned earlier 'TOO MANY COOK SPOIL THE FOOD' so in my opinion too many opinion will confuse you as to what you want or how you are going to look, so you've to decide yourself as to who you want, of-course for me I'll go for the over all look, and get the person to fix what need to be fixed and if small issure I'll do it myself.

????????

Hey SweetNSour please do let me know as I hope I'm not being too critical, but so far I liked Angell's makeup the best but wanted better foundation/concealment only, please let me know what you think!!!

I'm going to make my final decision after 2 more artists :D

Also, Shirley wu would have been good but she is not available for my date :(

Re: Best Makeup Artist in Canada - Ontario GTA, Toronto, Markham, Missauga, etc

get another trail and see if you can get the coverage to your liking i.e if you are to picky about what you want otherwise you can do your own makeup if you think that nobody is as good as you would have the the job.

Shirley did my makeup for both barat and walima... and i was totaly pleased with the job.. and everyone loveeeeddd it... i just brought a magazine with me and told her i want this kind of look

Re: Best Makeup Artist in Canada - Ontario GTA, Toronto, Markham, Missauga, etc

Just do whatever you feel like and go with your guts feeling, sometimes trying to be perfectionest will spoil the whole thing as nothing is to you satisfaction and you end up getting things messed up, if nothing satisfy a person then nobody can help them

"WOW" is always the word, have you ever experienced on when you went for all the trails??????? and spending so much for so many trails, are you still shopping around???

Hey

just wanted to let you know about my experience with dimple shah
my sister's nikkah was last year in Oct and she had her make-up done from Dimple Shah

overall, i liked the eyes and lips but i didnt like the foundation too much since it didn't improve her complexion, also the blush wasn't applied that well

however, my mom and i also got our make-up done from her and our foundation looked flawless but that could be because our complexion is lighter
so overall her foundation doesn't suit tan skin and doesn't make it look flawless
her mehndi is extremely good but i think the make-up is just average
hope this helps!

I think you are, nobody is perfect, not even you, if you were I don't think you'll ever let anyone do your makeup except yourself, sorry to say that, just my opinion is that' NOBODY IS PERFECT'

Re: Best Makeup Artist in Canada - Ontario GTA, Toronto, Markham, Missauga, etc

^ mmm, i dont think you should be too harsh, i agree nobody is perfect, but aiming for that perfection or at least close to perfection on YOUR wedding day is not a sin, is it? We all want to look the best. Some people are too much into designer dresses like HSY and Karma while others are choosy about picking a makeup artist or something else. I personally don't see anything wrong with it. :)

Re: Best Makeup Artist in Canada - Ontario GTA, Toronto, Markham, Missauga, etc

Yea it true aiming for perfection is not a sin, but one should be too choosy, as in the end nothing is perfect, imagine spending so much on a trail. one have to follow their instint and do what satisfy them.
Sorry I'm not be harsh, it was just having to read all the previous thread, it seem like nobody is perfect, and should do a better job than all the artist that she been for a trail, hope she had made up her mind who she is hiring for her wedding day. (good luck with the artist who ever she hires)
