I knew Sara was going to be fun the moment I saw her pull up at 9 a.m. with the music blasting and a full face of makeup already on. That is Sara, someone who genuinely LOVES makeup and was more than happy to be the first one in the chair before her sister!

From the moment I started getting her ready, I connected with her energy. She’s so full of life, warm and lovable, and spending that morning with her was such a joy.

She’s been following my work on Instagram and loves my makeup, so getting the chance to glam her herself was extra special. And when she looked in the mirror and said, “You’re the best. I love my makeup!” that made my heart so happy. 🥹

It was such a pleasure and an honor to glam her for Myra’s special day. Can’t wait to glam this beautiful soul again, InshaAllah.

Soft mauvey pink glossy lips, a touch of sparkle on the eyes, a thin winged liner to subtly elongate her eyes and accentuate her features, naturally defined lashes, and that perfect pink flush everything kept effortless and true to her features.

Finished with a traditional dupatta setting, statement haar, and earrings that brought the entire look together. Myra carried it all so gracefully and you can see it in the way she held herself, her confidence, and the way she truly felt like a bride. 🤍

When Myra saw herself in the mirror after her bridal makeover, she said:

“This is the best. This is your best work ever. You’ve outdone yourself.”

Every bride is my shining armor ✨ but hearing that from her meant more than she probably realized.

Between makeup moments, we talked about faith, prayers, and the small things that bring peace. She shared a prayer she turns to when she feels anxious, and I reminded her of it while she was getting ready. She smiled and said, “Thank you for reminding me. I need to recite it now.”

It’s funny how a simple message from a stranger can turn into a bride you feel so deeply connected to.

Myra, you were an absolute joy. And that smile at the end… I think you already know how much I loved creating this look for you. 🤍✨.
