Hi girls, I’m honestly stressing out and would really appreciate advice from anyone who has gotten their bridal/Walima makeup done by Yasmin Khan recently, especially in 2025/2026.
I have already booked Yasmin Khan for my Walima makeup, and I was initially really excited about it because I genuinely like her makeup. However, after booking, I started reading quite a few recent reviews about the quality of the makeup, brides being rushed/not listened to, and especially timing issues, and even makeup getting smudged, with hair and dupatta pins coming off while still at the studio. Now I’m seriously second-guessing my decision.
My biggest concern is the timing. She has given me a 7:30 AM–10:30 AM slot, and my Walima starts at 1 PM. I’m actually coming from another city, so the journey itself will take around 2.5–3 hours. There is basically ZERO room for me to be late. If I get significantly delayed, my family and in-laws are going to be extremely upset.
At the same time, I don’t want to be sitting there stressed the whole time or have my makeup/hair rushed because she has another bride waiting. I obviously want to actually enjoy getting ready and feel confident about how I look on my Walima.
So now I’m really confused about what to do because the booking is already done.
Should I:
1. Stick with Yasmin and trust that my experience will be fine?
2. Try to find another MUA even though I’ve already booked and may lose my advance?
Has anyone here had a recent positive experience with Yasmin where she was actually on time and the bride was ready within the promised slot?
If you had a bad experience, how late were you actually made and what was the quality of the final makeup like?
I would especially appreciate honest experiences from brides who had Walima/daytime events, because my situation is a little different due to the 2.5–3 hour travel time afterward.
Please help a very stressed bride out 😭 I really don’t want to regret this decision on my Walima day.
