Wedding topics
Bridal makeup has to last through hours of ceremony and still look like you. Book a trial, plan the timing and ask about your skin.
Bridal makeup in Nepal usually has to hold through heat, long rituals and many photographs, often across more than one look: mehendi, wedding, reception. The right artist listens to what you want, knows your skin type and plans the morning so you are never rushed.
Look at an artist's work on skin tones and outfits like yours, not only at the most dramatic photos. A trial before the wedding is the best way to see how the work suits you.
Ask for photos on your skin tone, with outfits and jewellery like yours, taken in normal light, not only in studio shots.
A trial shows how the look photographs and how long it lasts, and leaves time to change what you did not like. Bring photos of your outfit, jewellery and dupatta.
Tell the artist about sensitive skin, past reactions and products you cannot use. If you are unsure, ask for a patch test before the trial.
Work out the start time with your family pandit's schedule, count the time for makeup, hair and draping, and add a buffer. Ask where the artist will set up.
The number of looks, hairstyle, saree or lehenga draping, a touch-up kit, and whether family members can be booked too.
Date, time, place, number of looks, who comes, travel, the advance and the cancellation terms.
Quotes differ because the work differs. Ask each artist for the same list so you can compare them properly:
Live listings, ordered by rating and number of reviews. Open a profile to see starting prices and packages.
Popular artists fill wedding season dates early. Ask as soon as you have your date, then plan the trial for a few weeks before the wedding.
It is strongly recommended. It lets you see the look in photographs, check how it feels and lasts, and change what you want to change.
Tell the artist early and ask for a patch test. Bring any products you already use safely, and ask what they use instead of the ones you cannot.
It can save time on the morning. Ask whether the artist has a team, how long each person takes, and whether the plan still leaves you unhurried.
Send one request with your date and the number of looks and compare the replies.
