Regaring your makekup, you didn't mention where you are getting married. Specify the city so people can tell you about the best salons in your area.
For your tan, avoid sun as much as you can. And if you have to go out during day time, use a good sunblock. I hear ubtan helps get rid of the tan. You can buy ubtan powder from any store and just mix it with rosewater and apply it. I dont realy know how you would make it yourself. I think its a mixture of sandalwood powder and haldi. Plain yogurt mask also helps because my sister has used it and it helped her after she had tanned alot after going to the beach.
And yes gold prices are so high right now, I'm just getting one light set made for myself. My mother is giving me one of her old heavy set that she got in her barri and 4 gold bangles and my inlaws are giving me 2 sets. Thats about it. I didn't pressure my parents into buying me any gold because i know its ridiculously expensive and I wont be wearing heavy sets later on anyway, it will just be sitting in the locker for safekeeping. For my wedding im wearing an artificial set and on valima im wearing a gold set given by my inlaws. We dont have a tradition of giving gold to inlaws but my mother got a light set for my mother in law. There is no way we can afford to give gold bangles to inlaws. And we are giving a platinum ring to my future husband, nothing gold because my parents think its unislamic for men to wear gold.
Regarding semi formal dresses, it all depends on how social you are really. If you have alot of relatives then alot of dawats and parties will come up so you will need alot of clothes. For me, i don't think i need much because ill be moving to US soon and i wont have room in my luggage to take so much stuff and we dont have many relatives. But if you have a big family then you'll need atleast 15 semiformals. I would say don't get too many because you will get atleast 10 or so in barri too.
Have you already decided about your wedding and valima outfits or are your inlaws getting that made for you?
i live in karachi... and i have made booking at amber khan for makeup and service as well.. jus wanted to know if any one hav any kinda experience with them .... plz do share..

we do have this tradition of giving gold to inlaws.. n its must... and for the guys chain .. he doesnt wear it either the mother keeps it or the wife... depending on the mum-in-law's intentionss lol anyways...
i am not pressuring my parents for buying gold for me ... bt they think its unfair if i get less gold comparing to what they have given to my sisters and their inlawss ... but in my time prices are like 4 times higher then what they were at their time...
my inlaws are way too social .. i have made like around 5 heavy suits planning to make 2-3 more... n 2 heavy saree n one bit simple... n i have got so many formal suits frm my inlaws n my own too that i have only worn once ... so m planning to take em as well ... wud it be ok?? rest i have made 5-6 semi formals .. ...
my inlaws are going to arrange for wedding and valima outfits and jewellery n all.. my muminlaw has great choice mashAllah i m sure she wud get best for me :) like always
then for wearing at home like cotton n lawn.. m still collecting them... n yeah i wud be getting many clothes in bari i think so .... so i think tht wud be more then enough.. coz fashion changes jus too fast and my weight too lol.....

If you have worn them once its completely fine to take them with you.
