Henna Night Makeup in Azemmour
Makeup for the henna ceremony, traditionally worn with the green caftan embroidered in gold.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
How long it takes
Around ninety minutes. It is a lighter build than the wedding night, deliberately.
What fails first, and how it is prevented
The henna night is the one stage of a Moroccan wedding where the hands are photographed more than the face. Hands are prepared as part of the booking rather than noticed on the day, and the face goes a step lighter — a heavy face above close-up hands unbalances every frame.
What Azemmour adds to it
Casablanca is where the regional traditions meet. A wedding here may run a Fassi sequence, a Rbati one, a Soussi one or a mixture, because the families come from everywhere — which makes it the one place where the negafa's running order has to be established rather than assumed.
The metal question. Both gold and silver appear here depending on family origin, so this is the region where the question must be asked outright rather than inferred from the venue.
The climate. Atlantic coastal, humid, and hot through July and August. Thin successive setting passes hold; one heavy layer slides.
Before the day
Henna itself must be applied the day before to reach its true colour. Applied on the morning it stays orange and pale in the photographs, so the night is planned backwards from that.
Home. On location across every area, with no travel charge inside the city.
