Shanara Beauty Reviews 

I booked Shanara to my makeup for my graduation ceremony after finding her work through Instagram and I was not dissappointed! She was beyond professional and her skills are insane!

The booking experience was easy and quick, especially in comparison to other MUA's I enquired with who were either too late responding or didn't reply at all. Here I must thank her husband/ management; they definitely are the dream duo. Kyjar is so polite and professional on the phone and in person!

The day Shanara did my makeup, the weather was around 30 degrees but my makeup remained sweat and tear proof! The whole process was really relaxing; Shanara is super friendly and she talked through the products she was using on me and allowed me to have my own input in the look I wanted her to create. She also gave me some really good colour correcting and concealing tips which have improved my own makeup skills in turn! Her skills are truly dreamy; flawless makeup in person and that also translate amazingly on camera! Thank you so much!

Excellent makeup artist, really down to earth and humble. She did mine and my friends makeup for a night out and it was amazing. The makeup looked fantastic and moreover stayed put all night. Would definitely recommend x

I've booked shanara beauty for Party that I attended, which was highly important to Me in last year in November. I was really impressed with the prompt responses to emails/messages in a professional manner. I was amazed with the customer service I received from shanara beauty. Hats off to her and her team.

I Was really nervous about getting someone to do my makeup because I have really bad confidence issue As I suffer from really bad acne. I was nervous to show my. Are face to shanara, but also I get major anxiety when someone does my makeup. But shanara was amazing, she boosted my confidence and really made me feel beautiful. For that I will be enternallu grateful to you. The makeup lasted all day (over 7hours) and remained flawless. At my makeup trial I was made to feel comfortable. I was a little apprehensive about having a really heavy base and looking "caked" as I do not wear much makeup, but shanara actually asked me how I would like my make eg what look etc and assured me that she would do something that I was comfortable with and she did .

Thank you so much for providing and amazing service, but for also making me realise how I should beautiful in my own skin and for the amazing advice.

Just want to say a big thank you to Shanara! She did an amazing job as always! I loved it all, what I loved the most was just the way she was, she made me feel so comfortable and at ease and even my sister loved her makeup. As she may know my hairstylist messed up but having Shanara there helped. So a big huge thank you to her and in shaa Allah there will be many more bookings :)

She was the first make up artist I had ever booked and I couldn't have asked for anyone better! Shanara was friendly and chatty and made me feel so beautiful :') my makeup lasted ALL night and felt so light, I didn't even need to top up.
Couldn't have asked for a better MUA !!

I booked Shanara for my mehndi, nikkah and walima and pre wedding photoshoot, and it was the best decision I made with regards to my wedding.
Shanara is such a talented make up artist, and on top of that she is the most sweetest person. She listens and makes you feel so comfortable with the whole experience, so much so that I let her do what ever she wanted to do, that's how much I trusted it, and trust me I am a control freak!
I never thought she could top each event but it just got better and better. The amount of compliments I received on each day just confirmed how amazing she actually is. I had a few trails for my wedding but nobody topped shanara.
The whole experience from booking to each event day was so well organised and structured. I was kept well informed at all times (so thank you Kyjar).
Overall, I am so happy I went with Shanara. She made me so comfortable I actually really enjoyed the whole getting ready experience, with no stress at all. If I could go back they only thing I would change would be to also have booked Shanara for my mum and sisters as till this day they are annoyed at me that I didn't 😊.

Thank you Shanara and Kyjar. I wish you all the best in the future!

I love you shanara when it comes parties .. Eid wedding I always make sure you have to do my makeup BECAUSE YOUR MAKEUP IS ONNNNN FLEEEEEK. Allahuma barik ❤️

I've booked shanara beauty for my big day in September after having a trial with her. Apart from the fave that her work is amazing another thing that really impressed me was the prompt responses to emails/messages and the professionalism.

After having contacted many makeup artists (some of whom who did not even respond to my initial messages) I was amazed with the customer service I received from shanara beauty. Hats off to her and her team.
I booked her literally straight after my trial with her. The makeup lasted all day (over 7hours) and remained flawless. At my makeup trial I was made to feel comfortable. I was a little apprehensive about having a really heavy base and looking "caked" as I do not wear much makeup, but shanara actually asked me how I would like my make eg what look etc and assured me that she would do something that I was comfortable with and she did .

Thank you so much and I can't wait till sept to get dolled up by you for my big day. Would definitely recommend Shanara beauty to anyone that is looking for a makeup artist.

I booked Shanara for my wedding on the 9th April 2017. I showed her a pic of the eye look I wanted and she matched it perfectly. My lip colours were exactly how I wanted and didn't budge the whole day! Such a lovely soul and very friendly. Her lighting/make up equipment/set up was completely professional and perfect. The onlyyy negative think I could say was that my eyelash came off during the bidaai (in all fairness I cried a lot!!) but did stick back easily without even needing to add more glue! Shanara did my two of my sisters bridesmaid make up and both looked amazing!

I was only 15 when I got my makeup done it was such a sentimental occasion for me, was for my prom throughout my life I have never worn makeup this was the first time, I felt nervous as I'm dark skinned for a Bengali and not everyone knows how to apply the right shade of foundation or do the right look, I didn't ask for a specific look I just let Shanara do what she thought was best, and it was amazing as soon as I looked in the mirror I wanted to cry I have never seen my self look like that, the amount of compliments I got from my family, friends and school. As soon as I stepped into my prom hardly anyone recognised me when
they did they were shocked and asking who I got my makeup done for. Now I just can't wait for another occasions where I can feel extra special inside. She came on time and very well known make up artist that my friends had hired they had turned up late but Shanara was on time and was so lovely. Will definitely hire her again for another occasion. Definitely recommend her for any occasion.
Booking date: 11/07/16 - prom day

Shanara was a DREAM to work with! I would say she was the best part of my sisters wedding!

The service provided was amazing! Leading up to the event Shanara's husband Kyjar sent frequent updates and confirmations. I was able to rest assured, the last thing I needed on top of organising my sisters wedding was an additional problem to worry about. From the moment I first got in touch, Shanara and Kyjar were very receptive to my requests and questions. Alhamdulilah I was completely stress free in regards to my make up booking.

I opted for heavy party make up, along side other bridesmaids. On the day of the event I showed Shanara a few looks and I left the rest to her. Boy did she deliver!! My skin was flawlesssss! I've always been skeptical with make up images from Instagram, I always had an assumption that all those beautiful Instagram make up looks had to go through some sort of photoshopping. Well my face looked like one of those images. I looked incredible, my base was immaculate, eyebrows were perfection.. the whole look was perfection! My make up lasted all the way through the night, it would have definitely made it through another full day! The hardest part after my sisters bidai, was having to take off Shanara's work!! :( heartbreaking!

It's not only the service and skills that are really important to me, personally for me having a make up artist who respects my views/requests is what's important. I made a decision not to have any images taken for social media. I've trusted make up/hair stylists to keep images of their work for themselves, however I've had few encounters where my images where found on their social media accounts. However, with Shanara she completely respected my privacy and didn't make me in any way feel guilty when requesting not to have my picture on social media.

Shanara's super friendly and easy to get on with! Alhamdulilah I've finally found a make up artist that I am 100 % confident in. In sha Allah will be booking Shanara for upcoming events. As I kept saying to Shanara, she has magic hands girls! MashaAllah.

I booked Shanara for a 1:1 class, she was extremely professional, welcoming and what's more she gave me the confidence to apply makeup without looking over the top. She showed me all the techniques and recommended all the products that I could use and purchase. She guided me throughout the 1:1 and I was really impressed with her and Kyjar's hospitality and professionalism!
Thank you Shanara and Kyjar!

Literally the most amazing and down to earth/ realiable makeup artist. I booked shanara for my wedding day and she basically did my makeup and my sister in laws make up (my bridesmaid) like no other! I normally don't let anyone do my makeup but as soon as I saw her instagram page I knew she was the only one that can make me look like a princess on my big day! I would definitely want her to do my makeup again because she was so amazing at doing her job and I would also definitely recommend her to family and friends and even strangers if I had to lol. Love this girl.

Booked- 21/07/2016

I've said this to numerous people and shanara herself, she is the most amazing, reliable, and humble person I have ever met. Myself and my 2 sisters booked her on such short notice, and this was when shanara was newly established, she was quick with her responses (well kyjar) . And it was so easy to deal with, on the day shanara came early and she was very organised, we alternated to make sure we was all done on time, she took her time and effort on all three of us, making us look literally speechless-if I do say so myself. We got a tonne of compliments and was asked numerous times on the day and after who our make up artist is and of course we always refer to you, but overall my experience with shanara was smooth and pleasant. إن شاء الله she goes up and reaches her goals, can't wait to book you again and feed you this time..

I had a 1-2-1 Lesson with Shanara back in March and it was amazing! As a beginner into make up artistry I was super nervous but Shanara was encouraging and really patient with her teaching. She paid attention to detail, taught me step-by-step and showed me all her make up tricks that I could use as a new mua. Of course anyone who is thinking of going into this industry has a lot of questions, as did I, and Shanara answered all without hesitation. She is super talented!
Both herself & Kyjar were very understanding that I had to travel up to 4 hours for the class and gave me a later booking time slot, as well as that they gave me time to chill & eat! They were so lovely!!
I definitely recommend booking her for a Make-Up Lesson, it was honestly so worth the travel & money.

Shanara was so amazing when it came to listening to what I want to actually giving me what I wanted! I am quite a make up freak myself so I was paying close attention to detail and she delivered what was expected of her and more. Such a kind person and a great conversationist! Very punctual and if for any reason she is even 5 minutes late, you will be notified. She also was very up to date with the latest make up trends so there are many bonuses to why you should not hesitate to book her 😌❤️

I booked Shanara for my best friend's mehndi and wedding. She did an amazing job, created 2 different looks. Shanra is very talented and a humble individual. You made the time go by smoothly. I also wanted to say thank you to Kyjar, he was really kind and I liked the fact that he called before each booking. The way both husband and wife worked was professional.

I took a one-to-one class with Shanara late last year and it was amazing! I am glad that I took it as shanara has taught me so much, taking my makeup skill to the next level. She was very helpful, as the tips she gave were very detailed. Also, she gave a list of products for me to invest in for a makeup kit. She's also a friendly, humble and funny person, which made the class feel a lot more fun.

Both Shanara and her husband who manages, Kyjar are professional, fast and no hassle. They both are very organised and also supportive towards those who are aspiring to become makeup artists, which was so nice to see as this is very rare.

I also booked Shanara in February for party makeup for a mendhi and she made me feel like a million dollars, I received many compliments for it, best part was that the make up lasted all day!

I would recommend anyone to book Shanara for any event they have! Also if they are looking to enhance their makeup skills, she is the best! It is worth the investment!!

Shanara was such a lovely and humble person allhamdulilah, at first I felt as if the pricing was abit expensive but after I actually got my makeup done by her I realised it was worth it. I will definitely be booking Shanara again in the near future Insha'Allah. I also want thank you're husband Kyjar for All the help he gave me with answering the 272728 questions I asked 🙄 But other than that I wish you both all the best Insha'Allah xx Tanzila

They are organised, helpful, efficient, and they definately make the whole wedding experience that little bit easier.
