Noreen Riaz

As a bride, you deserve to look and feel your best on the most important day of your life – for yourself and for the photo album that you’ll look back on in the years afterwards. So naturally picking an experienced, skilled hair and makeup artist is one of the essential must-haves for any bride-to-be. Someone calm, friendly and experienced who can make you look the best version of yourself on your special day. Noreen Riaz is that person.

She began her career in the beauty industry as a professional hairdresser and found her creative streak extended into makeup. Encouraged by her newfound talent, Noreen continued to do classes run by established makeup artists until she launched as a hair and makeup supremo in her own right.

Based in London and with clientele across the UK and overseas, Noreen’s work has been featured extensively in Khush Wedding, demonstrating her ability to create beautiful and inspirational bridal, party and fashion looks.

Noreen's Bridal Services

“I offer a range of service, starting with the consultation. This is where I first meet the bride so it’s important that she brings things such as the outfit, jewellery, and theme so I can create a look that works for her. My main focus is to make the bride to feel 100% satisfied on the special day so we try two different looks before picking her favourite one for the wedding. I can help the bride dress in her outfit, set her dupatta for her and ensure the jewellery sits correctly before she leaves to tie the knot. I have bookings for up to a year in advance so brides should call me as soon as they know their date to make sure I am available.”

Inspiration

“I find inspiration from talented artists around the world who showcase their work on Instagram. I particularly love looks by Middle Eastern hair and makeup artists as well as creative artists in Europe.”

Tips & Tricks

1. Hair endures a lot by daily washing, blow-drying and heat styling. Give your locks a little TLC with regular deep conditioning treatments to repair the damage.
2. Splash out on a good quality face mask for a smooth and bright glow. I love the Goddess Skin Clay Mask by Charlotte Tilbury (£45, www.charlottetilbury.com).
3. If you want dewy skin, it’s as simple as having a good skin care regime. Cleanse, tone and moisturise daily.
