As a makeup artist in Denver, Colorado I have a lot of Indian, Pakistani, Iranian and middle eastern clients so I am blessed to have such a diverse beauty to work with. I had so much fun being Sonya’s makeup artist for her August 2008 wedding! She and her family were so sweet and inviting. She was adorned from head to toe and couldn’t have looked more beautiful. She had two celebrations for her wedding, the first night was her nikah (muslim ceremony) and the second was the biggie with over 500 people attending! The first night she wore all peach, gold and hint of light green, so I did her makeup as follows:

Face

Foundation: MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer mixed with Shu Uemera Gold Base Control

Concealer: MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer

Powder: MAC Blot Powder Loose

Blush: MAC Peaches and Nars Orgasm

Face Highlight: Nars The Multiple South Beach

Lips

Lip Liner: MAC Creme Sherry Cremestick Lip Liner

Both nights the main focus of Sonya’s makeup were her eyes which is typically the case for a Pakistani wedding. Her tikka’s were placed with duo latex adhesive which is always a life saver!
