Henna Night Makeup in Nador
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 Nador adds to it
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.
The metal question. Both metals appear. Establish which the parure uses before the palette is decided.
The climate. Continental and dry, with hot summers and cold winters. Bases go over genuine hydration.
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.
Oujda is a long road journey from Casablanca or a short flight. Travel and accommodation agreed in advance.
