Groom's Reception Makeup Review

Sorry I started the review of my wedding from the groom's side first. I am still mad of what the mak andam did to me that I have to let it out on my blog here. The mak andam was a freelance makeup artist for Lumiere Concept (Melaka) by the way.

We informed them we gonna marched to groom's house around 1 pm. And the mak andam promised to arrive at 1030am. I was okay with that because the duration of 2 hours and 30 minutes is perfectly nice for makeup session.

But what happened was she arrived at 1130am. So there's only 1 hour and 30 minutes left for makeup session. But I was still okay and maintain. I didn't feel mad YET. When she arrived, she asked me to take whudu' and started the makeup.

Throughout the makeup session, people kept calling her and she picked it up! She did my makeup while talking on the phone! How rude. She also applied foundation on my face harshly and the brush she used was like a broom. Yes. So harsh. She even let her nails touched my skin. Hello? Couldn't you see my skin is sensitive? I even had to ask her to move her nails out of my face. Usually people will avoid touching the bride's skin by using sponge but she didn't! Rude and unprofessional.

That was not the worst part.

Heh.

The worst part was when she applied false eyelashes on both upper and bottom of my eyes. She put a lot of glue that I couldn't open my eyes. Really. When I asked her, she said never mind it will dry after this and it would be nicely attach together. So I waited after she finished applying eyeshadow. But the glue was still there! I couldn't open my eyes. She then separate the glue with her tools. It was quite scary okay. Eyes are very important.

the red line is the glue. connecting between upper and bottom of my eyes. Scarry!

Before she finished, I had the opportunity to look at the mirror and was so shocked to see the lip color. It was pale pink (not nude pink) and really really made my teeth look extra yellow. So I asked her to change the color into color that didn't make my teeth looked so yellow. And she chose a not so subtle pink. Grrrr.

Did I need to tell everything specifically? *Mad*

Then after 40 minutes of the makeup session, she finished! I was so shocked. So fast?

And I quickly went to mirror and kept looking at my eyes. How ugly! She used a turqoise color eyeshadow. So old fashion! I was so dissapointed that I straight away said I didn't like it and asked her to change into chocolate color.

And her assistant asked me to choose myself what color I want. I mean seriously? I'm not a makeup artis. How on earth do I know how to blend eyeshadow. I said like this. "Macam mana saya nak tahu, saya tak tahu blend".

She then continued changing the eyeshadow color. Since her eye makeup made my eyes looked so big, I asked her to remove the bottom false eyelashes. At first she disagree but after a while, she finally came to agree with me. She removed it.

Then I looked at the mirror again.

I looked older than my age!

The eyeliner at the bottom was so thick that it aged me. So I asked her to rectify it.

She agreed but first I need to change into my outfit. After finished wearing the veils, I asked her to rectify the eyeliner too. It was soooo messy I said. She rectified it but I still felt unsatisfied. Something was off and I didn't know what was it.

Before I managed to say anything, she left! Without telling me! I still had a lot of things to say (to rectify the makeup of course).

Rating? 0.1/5. Harsh rating? It's my wedding and she really ruined my mood for the day.

I didn't know what type of brand she used but my face became oily very very fast and the foundation she used was 1 tone darker from my real shade. It made my face looked darker and not glowy.

Erhh. So mad thinking about it.

dark and no shading at the end of my nose

no shading for my cheeks

is this how you apply eyeliner and eyelashes? So terrible. 

Oily. My husband also said the makeup was so thick. It did made me felt more down.

This was how I looked like at bride's reception.

Soft and sweet

I really hope Lumiere will find a better freelance make up artist after this. The mak andam should be professional and should really be up to date to current makeup style. I was so frustrated and disappointed. Yes I said all of it to the mak andam.

Thank you for ruining my day.

Till then. Assalamualaikum.
