Plan makeup around the key moments
- Aghd at the sofreh: close, seated, and heavily photographed; skin and brows are seen up close
- Ketubah signing and Chuppah: emotional moments, so plan long-wear techniques for happy tears
- Family portraits: mothers, sisters, and grandmothers stand beside you in the photos
- Grand entrance and reception: evening light, flash, and dancing for hours
- After dinner: a refresh before the late-night photos
The Diamond Package ($2,200) is built for these days: your preview, wedding-day makeup, and extended touch-up coverage through the booked day, often about 8 AM to midnight. See Persian bridal makeup in Los Angeles.
Makeup for the family
In many Persian and Jewish weddings, the family is photographed as much as the couple. Bridal Party Makeup is $350 per person, and Mahsa works with a trained team of up to three artists for larger families. Planning conversations can happen in English or Farsi. See mother of the bride makeup.
Music, the hora, and the reception
Your makeup artist and entertainment team should know the order of your traditions. The hora and chair lift, Persian dance sets, and the grand entrance all shape when touch-ups make sense. Share that order with your entertainment team as well; see Mahsa's recommended wedding professionals.
Brows and lips before the wedding
Defined brows frame the face in every close-up. If you want microblading or lip blush, plan it several months before the wedding; see permanent makeup before your wedding.
Planning conversations to have early
- How many days and events. If your Aghd and reception, or other celebrations, are on different days, book makeup for each day and ask about availability.
- When the first ceremony moment happens. The Ketubah signing or Aghd often comes before portraits, so it may be your real makeup deadline.
- Who is being photographed. List mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and cousins who want makeup, in the order they are needed.
- Veil and headpiece placement. Coordinate with your hair stylist so the veil goes on after makeup and does not disturb it.
- Family or religious preferences about the look. Share them at your preview so the look feels right for you and your family.
Mahsa can plan these details with you and your family in English or Farsi, which many families find makes decisions easier when several generations are involved.
