this reminds me I'm in Mississauga. I moved here from Chicago with my habibi. I was wondering If I can find good Indian/Paki clothing stores? I have to get some Party wear outfits. A huge khandan wedding is coming up. I wanna do my shopping tonight.

So If anyone can give me names and location that would be cool. inshaAllah.

jazakAllah khayr in advance.

If you are looking for Pakistani style makeup for weddings and parties than I can recommend Zaibe (I hope I've spelled it correctly). My two sisters and a sister-in-law were made dulhan by her and got loads of compliments and for each occasion I also got the party makeup done by her. I can't seem to find her phone #, I know that her home base business is in Scarborough. I do remember seeing her ads on TV in the Pakistani programs on sat and sun. I'll try to get the phone # from my sisters tomorrow and then post it. InshaAllah.

I've booked with Saman of studio sila for an event this coming weekend. Will let you know how it goes.

The price is pretty good....not nearly $275. So if you are looking for party make-up but not quite dulhan-style set-up, wait for my review and then give her a call.

well eventhough saman and shirey both have quoted me the same but shirley says she will make me ready by 4 as she has to go do another bride and saman will make be prepared by 6.
secondly, i have seen in shirley makeup that she does Not do nose contouring as one of my freinds just got married and i compared her engagement as well as wedding pictures in which nose shaping was not done.
Now I am confused what should I do..samans websites seems pretty good, but again i dont want to illusion myself with the digital effects making the makeup flawless...
Feedbacks are much appreciated.

^ Well why do you want to do nose shaping/contouring? Does she just not do it out of principle or does she not know how to do it?

well you know they should be atleast shape it or put some effect a bit like how we see in various pictures etc..so that the nose doesnot look very flat..i dont have a flat nose but i would prefer to make it look a little slim.. you know...i have not seen this in shirleys work....and m not sure if she knows how to do it or not..one my friends got her makeup done from her for her engagement and wedding and i didnt see that contouring done on her either...( considering she does have a little flat nose)

i don't know if anyone is still looking for her, but her name is Zebi. she's at 401/neilson in scarborough. if you email me, i can send you her home number. and yes, she's very good. she's been doing it for about 15 years or so now, and she's done a ton of pakistani/indian brides so she's very good with matching skin tone and using complimentary colours so you don't up with gross, chalky makeup. fyi, she hosts the Yeh Karavan program on OMNI so she's also aware of how to make someone look good so they photograph well.
