I was really challenged to convince Tarah to book me ever since she inquired for my services over a year ago. For some reason, because I know how particular she was when it comes to her wedding details. A bride who did intensive research of her suppliers prior to booking them but at the same time, she listens to every piece of advice I gave her. Such an epitome of an ideal bride. Tarah is based in Dubai so more of our transactions were thru email. I met her only a month before her wedding during our scheduled trial makeup. But the first meeting was an instant “click”!

When we arrived at her preparation venue during their big day, I learned that she had less than 2 hours of sleep, probably, because of some errands prior to the wedding and a mixture of excitement and nervousness. But good thing, everything went well just fine. Tarah has acidic skin so I had to start her makeup with a foundation that’s 2 shades lighter than her skin tone. And to my surprise, she wasn’t oily at all unlike the usual thing with people with acidic skin. I was so happy she loved her look but was even happier that I gained another friend who still maintains constant communication with me even after the wedding. Here are Tarah’s photos…
