It’s wedding season! Yay!. Since bridal makeup is what I do mostly, I tried to time these posts (it’s going to be in two parts) for the start of one of the two busiest wedding months (the other being December) in Kenya.

Muslim weddings are usually an explosion of colour and style. The wedding attires, beautiful accessories, henna, are all so exquisite. I am generally fascinated by weddings of other cultures, and they are truly a beauty to behold. The makeup is usually a little bolder, and more detailed. Think glitter, red lip colour, cut creases. This is why I was so keen to feature this Muslim bridal makeup inspired look.

I met the gorgeous Zam Zam nearly 2 years ago, she’s got the most gorgeous eyes, with plenty of lid space to play with eye makeup, win!. When I saw a similar look on instagram, I immediately thought of recreating it on her.
