Sorry for the late message! You might be used to hearing this – “quite caught up with post-marriage stuff.” But I had it in my mind that I had to acknowledge the amazing MUA I had for my wedding events. ♥️
Starting from the very beginning, I was very stressed about choosing my MUA since it can really make or break the entire feel of the events. But Pankaj from her team really put me at ease, answered all my queries with utmost detail and patience, and even during the pre-event months, he was always one call away, which really helped.
During the pre-event months, Ashmieta gave her inputs for dresses, jewelry, etc., whenever I requested, and luckily, our choices matched. Not to forget, she has great taste, and at the same time, she is very truthful—no unnecessary sugarcoating or pretending. She will give her opinion as it is—it might be a direct yes, no, or sometimes a maybe—so it was nice having a professional opinion that felt really honest.
Overall, my communication with her and the team was smooth, and I feel her nature and personality have a touch of sweetness that made me feel very comfortable during the entire 3-4 months that we were in touch and definitely during my event days. She really creates a very friendly environment, making communication very easy, and I think that comes naturally to her. Trust me, it’s very much needed when you have to get ready for your big day and you feel like you connect with the person who is getting you ready—it makes a whole lot of difference.
This is getting pretty long for a review, but I, being a very cautious and tense person, know how confusing it is to select your Makeup Artist and hence want to jot down all the points that can help future brides even a bit.
Coming to the makeup and looks themselves—first, I would say she has a very good hand; everything looked so perfect and flawless. Each and every person complimented me specifically for the makeup. I am not that eligible to comment on the techniques, but as much as I know, this makeup was actually what you need when you don’t want to look like you have layers on but at the same time, you have to look like a bride too—duh! But seriously, no unnecessary contouring, no white under-eyes, the perfect base with the accurate shade. Even for eyelashes, she tried on multiple options and chose the one that suited best for that particular event—really, really beautiful eye makeup and nice lip shades.
One thing that really stood out during our initial conversation—and was delivered in the final looks—was that her team really considers what suits their client. The look that is created is not a blind chase of trends; instead, it is what looks best with your face cut, your features, and your complexion. You just need to give a slight idea of what your final look should be, and they will deliver something better than the inspo itself.
There are generally very few aspects of a wedding where you don’t have to monitor and check every single detail, but my makeup was definitely one of them. After peeping through the stages of my first look and seeing the results, I just used to sit back and wait for the final look for all the other events—that’s how much confidence I gained in her. And that is a really big achievement when working with me. 😂
Even the hairstyles by Parvez were spot on! Exactly as I wanted—no fallback there as well. On one hand, they are very talented in what they do, but on the other, they will also take inputs from you and genuinely consider them because they know that something being good is different from it being to your own liking.
All in all, the experience was as perfect as it could be. Taking the creative liberty to put in one final comment—I really felt that Ashmieta puts the “ART” in makeup ARTists. 🥰😛
Thanks for making a bride really happy! 🥰
