Hi everyone,

I am a new user and read some interesting comments in the forum, therefore I am trying to get the information I need.

I am going to get married in the beginning of November this year (insha Allah) and would love to get my makeup done in Lahore. Atharshehzad is really not a good option, since it´s like "unchi dukaan pheeka pakwaan". He may be very good in model makeup but the brides I have seen or heard from were not looking stunning. (I guess this is the minimum demand you have if you spend a plenty of money) One of my cousin got her makeup done from Alle Nora and Annie did the make up herself. I must admit that she was looking just too good. I have never seen such beautiful photographs. But this was done in 1997. I am not sure whether Annie is still practising in Lahore, since she has opened a branch in Karachi. Moreover some say she charges 30,000 for a full makeup. Is this the current price? In my opinion this is really the limit. If she is going to charge 50,000 nowadays then I will not consider her. I know it´s your special day and you want the best results, but the price should be feasible.

I have also heard good things about madeehas. Don´t know how much she will charge, if I want the makeup done by the owner. Well I am travelling all the way to Lahore and no one is really supporting me in the family to travel so far. And if the result is negative in the end, it will be a nightmare.

So I need tips from you guys. Does anyone have some good/bad experiences with Alle Nora or Madeehas? Whose photoshoot is better? And does anyone know the current prices? Or are there any other good parlours? I have heard from lilly´s. Does anyone know lilly´s`?

Your help would be most appreciated.

Kind regards,

Saima

Hi! Good luck preparing for your big day!!
I got married in feb and got my makeup done by madeeha herself, she charged 30,000 rs, and the result was amazing. She had a consultation with me beforehand about what i wanted and did exactly that. i'm not one to wear makeup normally but the result was absolutely stunning!!
My cousin got her makeup done at alle nora 2 years ago and again looked fab.

saimaabbas

Thanks a lot to both of you for sharing your views with me and for wishing me good luck. I have read very good comments on madeeha. I am really a bit confused and can´t really choose between Annie (Alle Nora) and madeeha. Well I will give them a call and will ask my sister to visit both parlours to make a final decision. I live abroad and won´t have the chance to meet the beauticians personally before my wedding day.

I need the photo shooting to be done in the parlour due to lack of time. I know that Alle Nora make good photographs (I saw the picture of my cousin from Alle Nora) but have no idea about madeehas.

Well Guys I think it´s more or less a game of luck. If Madeeha offers me to come prior to the wedding day to discuss about my make up and hairstyle, I will definetely go for that. Thanks for pointing this out.

I wish I could dream of which parlour to take

prototype

madeeha's shoot is done by Deevees in Madeeha's studios for i guess 8000rs..and they are really good..but they provide with only 26 or 20 large pics in the album..not more than that .. annie is still in lahore..she charges 35000rs if she does the make over herself.and her photoshoot is done by her husband Mansoor..they have 3 different sizes of albums..ranging from 9000rs - 16000 rs .. and they have a minimum of 35 pics in the smallest album , both enlarged and small ones..the photoshooot is nice too ! good luck

saimaabbas

Thanks a lot Prototype for sharing this info with me. See that is my problem, everyone say Madeeha and Annie are both very good. But I have to stick to one of them Or shall I book Annie for Baraat and Madeena on Valima, lol.
Some prefer Annie some are fond of Madeeha. And that is a big confusion. I read somewhere that Annie is very stict or may be a bit rude. Well guys if a beautician is charging money as much she wants then she should also provide a friedly service. Don´t you agree? Or shall I do a voting

I guess Sidd and Saheli recommended Madeeha. What would you suggest Prototype? I Thank everyone for taking their time and helping me out. I really appreciate that.

mizzrani

hey im gttin married in d beginning of nov aswell , i hve seen mke up from madeehas it is ok nt dt amazin . whereas alle nora is known to b really good.

however myself i will go to lilly's in lahore.

saimaabbas

Hi Mizzrani, when are you going to get married in November. May be I will catch you in the parlour

What is the price of the bridal package at lilly´s? I have never heard of them. Do they have a website or do you know their contact number? Have you seen the picture of their brides? I remember you told me that your khala got their makeup done by lilly´s. I wish I could see some of their work prior to booking.

mizzrani

i dont think dey hve a website , bt deyre in lahore. i think deyre bridal package is abt 50,000 rupees . sorry i dun hve ne contact details bt i knw deyre dere n deyre good. lolz

im gttin married in mughal - e - azam inshallah on d 9th nov inshallahhh

so seee u

saimaabbas

HI mizzrani,

Thanks for the info dear. Well If they are in lahore, so I might ask my sister to keep an eye on them. When you go their for booking, please find out the contact details for me. I wish you very best of luck with your wedding planning.

i would suggest to go to one for both days..so that they can make you look different on both days , knowing what they did last time..madeeha's do subtle make up with red..i mean light and decent one..allenora is good too but they do a heavy one with red which looks good too.. it depends on your liking you can even go to Mighty's.. they do matte nice make up too .. and charge the same as madeehas or allenora..042-5753240(mighty's)

chanel1122

i would say only one name Allenora
Close ur eyes and just visit directly ...........and yeah she is still practing in lahore .....make a bride like fairy.......
And ather shahzad for engagement and nikkhah...would be gr888

chanel1122

Lily is famous for hair cut ........not recommened for bridal makeup at all....
My cousin got her makeup done from allenora .........and she charged 50,000 for both days not a big deal(Annie comes in our family circle)thats why she charged 50,000 other wise she would take 35 ,000 for one day i guess......
For phtography go for Shahnawaz,Afaq and afzl.

Mujhe to andaza nahin ke kesa makeup acha lagega. My baraat dress is red with black contrast and Valima dress is light blue. Haan yeh baat aap logon ki theek hai ke jana aik ke paas chahiye taake wo aap ko pichle din se different tayar kare. Like baraat pe bridal makeup aur valeeme pe model makeup. Thanks Prototype for giving me mighty´s number. But contact number se faida nahin yaar, main ne aaj Madeeha aur Alle nora ke clinic call ki, but wo phone pe charges nahin batate. Chalo madeeha ki Email Id hai, unhen to email kar di hai, lekin what about Alle Nora?? WO madam phone pe farma rahi thii khud visit karen. I told her I live in abroad, I can not come to discuss all this. But she said; Nahin aap ko aana parega. I guess mighty ko bhi call ki to yehi sunne ko milega. Ab main apni sis ko hi pk main kahungi ja ke yeh sab clinics check kare.
Shahnawaz ki mai ne bohat tareef suni hai, but problem yeh hai ke meri baraat gujrat main aani hai, so Lahore se mujhe Gujrat pohanchna hai, aur due to lack of time main mazeed kisi photographer ke paas nahin ja sakti. so mujhe parlour main hi photo session karna hoga.
Yeh aankhen band kar ke choose karne wali baat pasand ayi mujhe. Jitna zyada sochungi, choice utni mushkil hogi. Acha aap sab jo Alle Nora se tayar hue ho ya jante ho, can you please tell whether Annie discuss the makeup and hairstyle prior to wedding day? Yaar wo kahin bohat rude to nahin, like the lady on phone today. That I cant bear. Aik to paise bhi do aur nakhre bhi bardasht karo.

So guys phir Alle Nora ko done kar loon na? lol
I guess apne saath saath sab ka demaagh kharaab karungi....

i live in texas..and got married last year in lahore..hadnt been there in 10 yrs or so..and the only person i could get help from..was my cousin..she had her makeup done from madeeha for her engagement...but was unhappy due to the fact..they made her look like a 'pastry' ..or apparently 'not human' (her words) :-( after looking at her pictures...i agreed..she is very fair..and instead of using techniques that were subtle and aesthetic..they basically plastered the poor girl's face with odd colors..and turned her into a mannequin..i researched a lot..and we both agreed to go to NewLook...Arsh was the makeup artist who took care of me..i had brought my own makeup(serious suggestion for all brides to be)..and instead of letting her do whatever..i told her exactly what i wanted..(no base..dramatic eyes without the scary shadow..min blush..and lipstick)..it worked..and it cost me a mere Rs15000!

saimaabbas

Hi chanda,

Thanks for sharing your views. Chalo Madeeha ke bare main kuch negative bhi suna, abhi tak to sab bohat tareef kar rahe thee and I was very much confused which parlour to choose. Par I guess ab Annie ko ok kar dena chahiye. Aage kismat. Lekin itni tarakki ke door main Alle Nora does not even have a website. Ab banda khud kese pohanche wahan. Bhala phone pe charges batane main kya kabahat hai?

Does anyone have the contact details of shahnawaz?

neelum4life2006

Hi!

here's the website address for allenora if you still need it.

http://allenora.com/

hope it helps.......... I'm assuming they should have their contact information on it. I've seen some before and after pictures on their website which was also nice.

prototype

saimaabbas: annie doesnt even talk to you or consult before the make up ! and she wont even listen to you while she's doing the make up even..i got mine done by her..the end result was not bad but i stayed nervous all the time cuz no one asked me abt the hairstyle,etc i wanted to have..they do it what they think is good ! whereas madeeha discusses everything prior to the big day ..

prototype

and www.allenora.com is of a different studio which is in karachi and run by alia.. its NOT The one in lahore..neither it is a branch of it !
