Makeup Master

Frequent readers of Khush Wedding will be familiar with the stunning hair and makeup looks created by Summaya Kidiya, one of the best Asian bridal hair and makeup artists in London. She’s worked with the magazine’s Khush Creative team from the very start, displaying her dexterous skill across multiple areas, including editorial, beauty and high-end luxury bridal fashion.

Demand for Summaya’s bridal makeup services has accelerated in the last three years, spurred on by her work in the pages of Khush Wedding. While demand for her services have grown, enquiries over hair and makeup classes have also crept up, leading the extraordinarily talented artist to open the doors to her very own training academy where girls eager to forge their own careers in the lucrative Asian bridal industry can learn the tips and tricks of the trade.   

The sheer number of events involved in a typical Asian wedding – the Mehndi party, Sangeet, engagement and hen party, not to mention the Big Day itself - means having a skilled makeup artist to create each of your looks is a must-have on every bride’s checklist.

With classes and seminars limited to a small number of students, Summaya ensures she can spend quality one-on-one time explaining trickier techniques and methods in detail. Students will master the basics, such as skincare, blending and mixing foundation swatches in the first few sessions before adding to their beauty skill banks by learning classic looks such as the smokey eye (beloved by brides across the country) and the flattering effects of contouring.
From the outset, Summaya vowed to offer a comprehensive training curriculum allowing her students to learn how to create a full beauty look, so naturally, there are also courses in bridal and party hair too.
From voluminous, bouncy Engagement curls to  Big Day updos, Summaya goes through the A-Z of bridal hair looks to ensure students leave with the knowledge of creating their own complete bridal beautiful looks.

Whether you’re a total novice, have some experience under your belt, or a seasoned professional, everyone will find something new to learn at Summaya’s Training Academy.

Bridal makeup
Summaya uses professional face charts to design specific looks for her clients. They’re also an invaluable tool in helping students learn how and where to add colour and depth.
From blending foundation to a flawless finish, sweeping on blush for a healthy glow and using contouring products correctly to achieve that sought-after sculpted look, Summaya covers a wealth of subjects in her classes. Students will learn everything from fun and flirty party makeup, elegant looks perfect for an engagement party and traditional Asian beauty in the makeup classes. Summaya also discusses skincare and how to use products that give makeup additional staying power. 

Hair
Hair styling skills are a vital and valuable addition to an aspiring makeup artist, as it means they can handle all their client’s needs in one fell swoop. Summaya will show students how to create timeless, elegant looks that can be adapted for various lengths and thicknesses.
