My name is Mahwish, I'm 27 years old. I was born in Pakistan and have lived in the DC area ever since I can remember. I'm self taught in both hair and makeup. I do hair, makeup setting for mostly bridal clients. But I also do all different occasions and fashion shoots too.
2- What motivated you to start your getting into makeup?
I've always LOVED art! To give you an example, my senior year in high school my electives were Art 4, AP Art, Computer Graphics and whatever free time I had I was in the art room! So after I graduated I wanted to keep doing something art related and that's when I started playing with makeup and hair and the rest is history!
3-What's your number one favorite look out of all the makeup looks you have done?
This is a hard one! Each of my clients has a place in my heart so I can't really say one is better then the other. But if I had too pick one here is the look that made me who I am today. Hira you were the bride that started it all! I was working for MAC and had done brides hear and there but couldn't do many because I was working full time. You asked me to do her mehndi hair and makeup and after that this look traveled the world! haha A lot of people started asking me to do there weddings and so I took a leap of faith and left MAC to start my own business! Mashallah it has been the best choice I've ever made and I have you to thank for that Hira!
