Bina Khan Bridal Makeup Biography

I have always had a soft spot for a good transformation. In fact, its a pretty common predeliction , witness the variety of make over shows......people, homes, gardens, marriages, we love to see order made out of seeming chaos. So when a chaotic bride comes in to my salon, stressed, fussed and mussed, it is my pleasure to sort it all out. Obviously some good raw materials help, but everyone always has 5 or 6 really pretty things going on and capitalising on those assetts is the name of the game. Whatever the case, when a dupatta is being pinned on to someones head and in that moment when they are becoming a bride, everyone stops what they are doing to look....even other brides! Gushing and oooohing ensues and the world is a happy place. This , i will admit, is the moment i wait for. The coming together of hundreds of thousands of Rupees!

However, magical as this moment can be, i have seen some brides sabotage themselves. I have been through my fair share of brides by this point and while the majority are a pleasure and my job is mostly a JOY there are some who are on their own private roller coaster of craziness, and we are all along for the ride. She is upset, she is struck by the anti climax of the day , she has been so fussy throughout that things once achieved are unsatisfying, she has fought with her sister/mother/husband , she expected it all to mean more, its her special day....... Good grief! Unreal expectations will only lead to disappointments. But this as i say is very much the minority of cases. To ensure tension free happiness , here are some pointersChoose the right designers for you. My favourites are Sana and Safinaz (the purple bridal at the top is theirs, just look at that silhouette!) and Bunto Kazmi (the ivory and antique gold one just above is hers). When you buy their work, you are buying a work of art. Its bridal couture at its best, with the accompanying services. I know, for example, that you can return with your Sana and Safinaz bridal 6 years later and ask for it to be spruced up again. They will do it free of charge and with the idea that it is their duty to do so. Their work ethic and creativity are something to behold. I have seen some of Bunto Kazmi’s embroidery that is so fine that it appears to be printed material until you get closer and see the tiny flawless threadwork. These people make one of a kind , future heirlooms.

It is indeed possible to present quickly to your designer your concerns and desires, but ultimately let them tell you what they think you should do. Listen to their advice and if you are not convinced, go somewhere else. It is a cardinal mistake to force designers to do your bidding at the expense of what they think is right, instead try to find the one that suits you. In your search, try not to insult the ones who you meet with along the way. Whether their style suits you or not, they are experts at what they do and should be given due respect.Always order your jewellery ahead of time , I have seen a few situations where a bride has had to wear a back up set because the jeweller has gone M.I.A. Don’t go for too much, one choker, earrings and teeka is most common, sometimes the right kind of jhoomar works too. DO NOT go for a nath ( the nose hoop ) , its outdated, out of style and unless your husband is paying for you in cattle, a tad out of place. Plus, no one stares at the floor anymore, and a laughing chatting bride's nath will spread her lipstick all over her face! If you can get your sets from India, nothing like it.Event managers are the name of the game now, you can hand over the entire organization of the wedding to someone else and save your parents mini nervous breakdowns and/or screaming matches with caterers/florists/deejays/eachother. Again, you get the benefit of someone else’s experience. Just look through their albums and select what you want!I leave make-up artists for last. Obviously I think you should all come to me! However, I quite understand that maybe not everyone will find Sana and Safinaz or Bunto Kazmi or my make-up to their liking. This is obviously your prerogative, however I would caution you again as to how you deal with your booking, wherever it is. Every bride thinks its her “day” and she has the “right” to ask anything she likes. This is not exactly true when the supposition is that you had better order things as you like since you know better than the expert, be it any one of us. I have many friends in this or related fields and when we tell horror stories it is inevitably about that one kind of client , who assumes you know nothing about your area of expertise, who will explain every last detail of what she wants, leaving the designer / stylist / event manager / interior decorater with no creative scope and very little respect, goodwill or excitement.

I love doing make-up, I LIVE for a beautiful bridal eye make-up, i love making up a bride. I have had thousands of enjoyable and happy clients. Trust who you have selected completely or if you cannot, then you have not found the right fit. ( I loved it, for example, when someone recently asked me if I had “heard” of M.A.C ….. I mean, come ON!!!!)However flattery will get you everywhere! When I go to get my haircut I explain what I am afraid of but quickly defer to the stylists advice and I always say “Well, you do this everyday, obviously you know what will work better than I do.” I say this not only because I know it to be true, but also because I know that someone has to draw on creativity and enjoyment to do a good job. If she wants to throttle me then I am more than likely leaving with a buzz cut!

And most of all remember, weddings are supposed to be fun, so find the perfect fit for you and just let go. They are out there, the perfect designer, the perfect stylist, the perfect event manager, the perfect printer…… and the perfect husband!
There are very, very, VERY few things (man made at least) that I see in Karachi that make me think "How beautiful!". A genuine exception to this rule can be the components of the fantastic traditional desi bridal. From beautiful antique kundan jewellery and 30 year old chatta patti ghararas to the brand new stuff that is made with breath taking love and finesse to recreate the glory of the past just goes to show that sometimes old just IS gold! Often the highlight of my work day involves a face, outfit and jewels that inspire me to be the best that I can be. These are some of my recent favourites with a traditional bent.......
p.s. Be very careful girls, there is a fine line between classic and outdated. With all things though, its best to stick to quality over quantity (sadly, the odds are, if it's cheap, it shows!) and let the experts guide you. They will rarely guide you wrong...Hi guys. I've already booked Bina Khan for my wedding in June, but I'm slightly worried about her attitude now. Someone in my family is taking make-up classes from her, and told me that she can be quite rude, and answers questions with a real attitude. And she's said in her blogs too that she expects her clients to trust her, which is fine, but I'm just wondering if there are any Bina Khan brides around who could put me at ease. I don't want to be arguing with my MUA (or even be scolded by her!) on my wedding day, and I hope Bina's attitude is limited to just her students. So what I basically want to know is: is she open to ideas? Questions from her clients? Is she rude to the brides? Please tell me about your experiences!
