Makeup that still looks like you
Fourteen years of Dhaka weddings. I do not paint a different face on you — I do the version of your own face that photographs beautifully and survives a fourteen-hour day.

Nawshin Tabassum
Studio Noor, Dhanmondi
I am a bridal makeup artist in Dhanmondi. Most of my work is weddings, holud and engagement days, and I take a small number of editorial and portrait bookings.
A bride is photographed for fourteen hours in Dhaka heat, under flash, under fairy lights, and in daylight at the end of it. Makeup that only works in one of those is not finished work. So I test in all four before the day.
What you can book
Bridal day
Full makeup and hair for the wedding day, including one touch-up visit during the reception.
4 hoursHolud and mehndi
Lighter, warmer, built to survive dancing and turmeric. Usually the day everyone enjoys most.
2 hoursTrial before the day
We find the look weeks ahead and photograph it in four kinds of light, so nothing is a surprise.
2 hoursParty and guest
For mothers, sisters and friends of the bride. Booked in the same visit.
1 hourEditorial and portrait
Magazine, lookbook and brand work, on location or in the studio.
By the shootTeaching
A small course for artists starting out. Six at a time, my own kit, real models.

What brides say
My mother cried when she saw me, and she is not a woman who cries. I still looked like myself, just the best version.
Bride, Gulshan
Fourteen hours, three hundred guests and a power cut. The makeup did not move once.
Bride, Uttara
Dates go early.
Wedding season fills six to nine months ahead. Send me your date and I will tell you honestly whether I still have it.
