So most of you guys may know that I got engaged this month and for my hair and make up I decided to go to Meher's Salon and get my make up done by one of my closest friends and the super talented make up artist, Iman Ali.
You guys may also know that for my haircuts I pretty much always go to Meher Auntie, because I always have the assurance that I will be happy with whatever she does (my sister recently got an ombre done by her and she looked amazing). But I never had a chance to get my make up done by Iman before, even though I've been so impressed by the work I've seen her do on numerous people and have been wanting to get it done on myself for a while now. So when it was time for my engagement, I couldn't think of anyone better than Iman to get me ready for the day.
For my engagement, I wanted to go for something super light and girly. I actually have this weird fear of having some crazy, over the top makeup done on my wedding, where I won't look like myself at all. Thankfully, Iman completely understood the look I wanted to go for and gave me exactly what I wanted. Iman did smokey but very light eyes (paired with false lashes) on me, with a coral lip and accentuated cheekbones (I love a good contour). For my hair I went with a classic 60's look, with volume at the crown and loose curls towards the end. The best thing about the whole experience was that Iman was very much open to my concerns and worked towards my preferences, which I think is super important, since we all have an image of what we'd want to look like on our big day and it's comforting to have your make up artist bring that to reality.
In the end, I got to enjoy my day to the fullest. I was happy and relaxed and I don't think I would have been able to achieve that without the help of my killer make up artist!
Check out my entire look below! :)
