Makeup Artist in Berkane
Bridal, engagement and event makeup in Berkane and across Oriental. In the Oriental region.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
The bridal tradition around Berkane
The east carries its own inflection of Moroccan bridal, with Riffian and Algerian-border influences that show in the parure and in the music more than in the silhouette.
Closer to the northern register than to the Marrakchi one. Ask which family tradition the night follows — the border regions blend more than the interior does.
Gold or silver — ask first
Both metals appear. Establish which the parure uses before the palette is decided.
This is the first question worth settling for any booking in Berkane, because it decides the entire palette before a single product is chosen. More on the full sequence in the Moroccan bride guide.
What the Oriental climate does to makeup
Continental and dry, with hot summers and cold winters. Bases go over genuine hydration.
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.
