An hour-long workshop with Pakistani make-up artist Bina Khan, using classic makeup techniques that celebrate South Asian beauty.
Bina has been a respected make-up artist and teacher for over 25 years. Her unique take on Pakistani bridal make-up (combining Hollywood red carpet glamour, the deep, rich colours that suit desi skin so well and a joy in celebrating rather than disguising skin tones) has earned her work a loyal following.
It's important to add to the spectrum of what we see as beautiful, and to honour the aesthetic that subcontinental women have subscribed to for hundreds of years. Our cultures are ancient and our beauty practices are too! Bina Khan
