Makeup Artist in Benslimane

Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.

The bridal tradition around Benslimane

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.

Ask which tradition the night is following before anything else. The metal, the palette and the change order all follow from that answer, and getting it wrong costs the evening.

Gold or silver — ask first

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.

This is the first question worth settling for any booking in Benslimane, because it decides the entire palette before a single product is chosen. More on the full sequence in the Moroccan bride guide.

What the Casablanca-Settat climate does to makeup

Atlantic coastal, humid, and hot through July and August. Thin successive setting passes hold; one heavy layer slides.

The general rule holds everywhere in Morocco: set in thin successive passes rather than one heavy layer. Accumulated product slides; product laid down thinly stays. What changes by region is the base underneath it.

Travelling to Benslimane

Home. On location across every area, with no travel charge inside the city.

Bridal bookings include a full trial. For a wedding outside Casablanca the trial is scheduled either on the same trip or in Casablanca beforehand — whichever fits the date better.
