With the wedding bells ringing all around, everyone is now busy in finding the perfect dress and finding the perfect place for their makeup to be done and them to look like a million bucks. More often than usual, the bride and her family are usually caught with the famous pre-wedding jitters which are totally a normal part of getting married but they’re still enough to make anyone panic.

Despite the fact that most people have them, they make you start thinking about the big questions: Have I made a mistake? Am I ready? Is everything done enough for my big day? There is no doubt that you and your family want everything to be perfect for your special day, which results in having the best people around, who know what to do and how it’s done.

So, we came across a list of a few amazing ‘affordable’makeup artists in Karachi on a group called Desi Wedding Diaries on Facebook and we’re so glad that we did! I mean, what more would you want when you’re saving thousands of rupees?! Oh, and you can totally save the remaining amount for… maybe your honeymoon? *winks*

So, let’s begin, shall we?
