Hi All,
Alot of makeup pix on this forum show ‘bridal’ makeup. Im actually attending my devar’s wedding in Lahore in March and would like to get my makeup and hair done from a good parlour. Any suggestions as to wear to go? Do they classify this as party or engagement makeup?
Since I will be wearing my wedding lehnga and jewellery, I dont want to out-do the bride… so nothing “full-on”.
Perhaps you can attach any party makeup pics that you come across as well…? Thanx!
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
Pretty much any salon that's recommended for bridal makeup, you can get them to do party-makeup. i THINK (not sure) the major diff btwn party and bridal is the duputta isn't set on your head, like a bride's....also the base isnt' as thick as bridal makeup would be (since she'd have lots of cameras pointing at her). As long as you don't pin the duputta to your head and enter with 3-4 girls holding ur lengha, i'm sure u won't outdo the bride :D
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
hahah yeh true!!!
damn, might have to get a new dubatta made with my barat lehnga as it was tremendously heavy and i dont know how I could have it set in any way?!?! Dont think it can even be worn as a 'patti' on the side coz it was so heavy.
I 'spose I'll just tag along to whatever parlour the bride is going to...
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
there's tons of parlours..
depilex, madeeha's, allenora, newlook, are the ones that come to my mind..i'm sure theres lots more!
my devar's wedding is coming up too, I dunno which 1 of my lenghas to wear, the wedding day (whcih was heavyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy) or the valima (which was gorgeous but much easier to handle)..ahh who knows, i guess ill c when time comes :D
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
yeh party makeup isnt worth fussing over, im sure any parlour the bride goes to, will be fine. I think they are thinking to take her to Allenora.
When is ur devar's wedding? and there are 3 functions: mendhi, barat and valima. You will have chance to wear BOTH of your wedding lengha's.
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
… or how about your white sari with the shalwar petticoat? :CareBear:
sowwy, had to make a jk about dat! 
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
^ Well i'm a navi navi dulhan, so i wanna look xtra spechul :Pretty:
His wedding's in July, InshAllah, my mother in law will bring matching mehndi outfits for allll her bahus. On my wedding day, all his bhabhis wore red outfits (shalwar kameez/sharara/sari) so it looked kinda cute (esp since I was wearing pink so i stood out :p) i'm not sure if it was on purpose though.
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
hmm, well im not a navi navi dulhan but i wanted to look extra special on mendhi but my saas still went ahead and made all the same outfits for me and my nands (who are single) for the mendhi function. I didnt have the heart to tell her i wanted to wear heavier kaam since i was married and was the "bhabhi" ...
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
which lengha are you going to wear, the wedding day or valima dress? And what on the valima?
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
On the barat, im gonna wear my valima outfit and on the valima Ill wear my barat outfit.
How about you?
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
the red colour coordination sounds really nice!!! Im their only bahu so far :-)
Are you the youngest bahu?
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
noo i’m #3, next to youngest one..#4 is gnna officially become #4 in July 
i think coordination is cute…as long as its not the same color as the bride.
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
^oh dont sweat it, dressing up is all about accessorization anyway
wear really nice chorian-- ur real gold ones w/ glass chorian on one hand and glass chorain w/ nice fake karays on the other-- u know the ones w/ the jhumkas and what not
get ur nails done and do ur hair and makeup nicely- that really glams things up
and lastly wear really nice jewelry, real stuff that coordinates w/ ur dress
this way u'll be wearing the same stuff as ur nands but still standing out as a little more dressy
as far as party makeup is concerned-- its a lot different than bridal makeup-- a lot less makeup in general and it looks more natural, basically they'll just give u a more polished look and accentuate ur best features, if u dont want to wear ur dupatta on ur head (completly understandable) then put in over one shoulder and carry the other end on your other arm, that way u can balance out the weight and it looks more sophisticated than just putting it over one shoulder
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
Party make up isnt half as heavy. I wore my wedding outfit for my friends wedding and the make up isnt half as heavy. Just enjoy it!
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
madheehas deff!!!..i got mine done from dere
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
Thanks for the advice peeps. I've also heard Madeeha's is superb. Afew of my friends got makeup done from there and it looked fab! :)
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
Is it possible you can get a heavier duputta made with the dress?
Aasiman's right, it's all abt accessorization, do get your hair and nails done and wear tons of jewelry.. and hope and pray your nands won't do the same :D
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
ok, ill describe what has been made...
its a colourful dubatta and patiala shalwar (i think with all the bright colours that are IN these days) and the kamiz is short with rounded edges. We will all have a different coloured kamiz each... me and my nand's that is. The kamiz will have kaam on it.
I got the worst colour..... PINK!!! :( Not that I hate pink, but if its baby pink or tea pink it wont look as good as a brighter shade on a mendhi function.
The other colours taken my by nand's are: torquoise, rust and red (all the hot colours...)
Anyway, I think ill wait n see what it looks like before i judge it. Afterall, I will have all my wedding jewellery to jazz it up with :D
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
^ i'm sure ur mother in law isn't dumb, she'll know waht pinks are appropriate for mehndi.. but you can't ask her if its tea pink or shocking pink?
Re: Party Makeup in Lahore
I'll be there myself this Saturday so I may as well ask her myself :)
YAY!!!!!!! im going to pakistannnnnnnnnn :D
