The simple fact the groomsman had a much better environment and had less fighting and rules etc..shows how one-sided and misogynistic his dad was. I feel bad for the bride and I'm glad she stood up to the father in law. I feel ever worse for you! You just gained a new sub, love your personality
All of these comments criticizing a culture youre not apart of and dont know anything about are showing your ignorance. If you dont live it you dont know it. Stereotypes and stories of specific experiences dont speak for an entire group of people. Just like any and all groups there will always be bad and good aspects /people in it. Dont judge what you dont understand.
I don't understand how it is the bride's responsibility to pay the higher fee. She should have paid what she was quoted by the other artist, and the other MUA should have paid for the last minute substitute MUA.
I agree. I think the other make up artist should have paid the difference. If I was the bride I’d be EXTREMELY ANGRY if my makeup artist set up another artist and i had to pay extra because the 1st one F’d up
Or the original MUA should have contacted the bride and let her know she found a replacement and what the new quote was, then let the bride decide. Oh well, the FIL paid anyway.
I mean we don't know if the bride was actually quoted a smaller amount. She could have just been saying that, we don't actually know. Regardless, this makeup artist bust her butt to get there on time to do the other MUA and this bride a favour, she was run around and around and around in circles for HOURS with no clear answers and it was incredibly unorganized. You should never expect someone to go head over heels to provide you the best service at the last minute for your bridal party of 10 PEOPLE and not expect to pay a pretty price for it. Last minute options are never cheap and no bride should try to take advantage of such a service being provided at the last minute.
Dude... I cannot get past the fact that you did makeup for TEN people. I’m no mua, but I’ve done makeup for my friends for special occasions... and it is a process!! You’re a champ!
For all those asking and messaging me about what I made, I made exactly $900 that day. This was a year and a half ago and now with a bridal party that size, and for my travel, I would charge probably double that. Also, for those asking if I included tip or if they gave me a tip - the answer is no :( but I learned very valuable lessons that day and I haven’t had a stressful day like that one since!
You should have gotten more. 10 people and the groom and the last min and the amount of time. I book a bride for 400. 1 bride. 200 for each extra person bridemaids or mother of bride. Grooming 100.
I appreciate how kind you were when speaking about the wedding party and how respectful your were of their beliefs and traditions. Great story, I felt like I was there with you.
Nancy B thank you so much. I 100% did not want to offend anyone since this story was just to be for laughs! I love my job, and also love all my clients (regardless of the situation!!)
@@GlitterHearts240 Do you have proof of these "writings"? I've read the entire Quran and I've never seen anything that would indicate this.

Angelica Champagne what part of Islam is objectifying? Just wondering cause everyone seems to be an expert on Islam when they haven’t read the Quran once, never had a conversation with an actual Muslim, or even bothered to look up the definition of the actual word Islam (literally means peace in Arabic). It’s a false narrative that political media has forced onto Muslims (that the women are oppressed) when that is not the case. Wearing the hijab is not a requirement for Muslim women, it’s a choice for herself and nobody else. Some women don’t mind showing a little hair or have various ways of styling their hijabs. Would really appreciate if you educate yourself about what your talking about before speaking, especially in today’s culture. 😉
I’m middle eastern/Muslim and I can tell you, YOU ARE VERY RESPECTFUL and I applaud you for that! I’m tired of people coming up here simply painting all of us Muslim middle eastern people in one color. Some middle eastern countries have weddings in which men and women are seated in the ceremony together, therefore, if you are a Muslim women who wears hijab, you wear it to hide your beautiful hair from them. If you have a wedding in which there are only women in the banquet hall (like mine) you do whatever the heck you want, however the heck you want. The father in law or whatever the heck she was overreacted but that doesn’t mean all of us do that? I accidentally walked out in front of a few men without a hijab, I wasn’t told anything nor was it spoken about nor was it considered to be an issue just a simple mistake. It’s overreacting that all and the pressure of a wedding ceremony not to mention a big fat middle eastern one. Damn stressful, you have to have everything right and over the top. I THINK ITS TOTALLY UNFAIR, THAT PEOPLE ARE STEREOTYPING US TO BE THE SAME, BASED ON WHAT THEYVE HEARD OR SEEN FROM OTHERS. This is what makes me, a California born and raised gal , lose my self esteem. when I go out to ANYWHERE because I always feel like everyone hates me for things they do not know. By the way your make up is BEAUT EEEE FULL
I think Middle Eastern/Muslim weddings are so beautiful, very lavish and a big celebration of family religion and food. PS. My grandfather was from Indonesia/ Muslim he was married to my grandmother Puerto Rican for 42 yrs they were the best and kindest ppl you could ever meet. Thank you for your comment some ppl do stereotype.
As that bride the wedding would have been off for the shear fact that my fiancé didn’t stand up for me to his dad. There’s no way I would have signed on for a life with a weak man.
👏 👏 👏 Yup and probably/definitely wouldn't even have made it through the engagement. That likely was not the first time he imposed on their marriage nor not the first time the fiancé let it happen without sticking up for her.
I love the fact that you forgot about the makeup sitting on your face because of your storytelling. Most grwm+storytime give me anxiety because the person spends 80% on the makeup and the story falls flat. I once went out the door with one eyebrow because I talked like a crazy person and got distracted 😂. First time watcher and will be back.
Anneleen D. V. I’m sure that is absolutely true, but from what was explained to me that day by the bride as well as her sisters, this was not the case for them.
It was someone on the groom's side and judging by how the husband to be and the father acted, I doubt the rest of their side of the family is much better.
This is so frustrating, but I am FULLY AWARE that middle eastern and Indian wedding are different but have very similar concepts when it comes to MAKEUP*****. I have worked countless weddings from both areas and they are almost the same when it comes to MAKEUP****. Also, as mentioned in the video, I was unsure of where exactly the bride was from and it was either somewhere in the Middle East (not to mention that Egypt is in fact considered a part of the Middle East..) or from India, so I was speaking generally*** as to not give any false information. I feel like this was expressed in the video but it seems I need to clarify once again.
I liked your story and didn't think you were being "racist" or "Ignorant" or whatever all the other ppl were crying wolf about.... PLEASE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER MUA!?
AUSTRALIAN MUM VLOGGER Agreed, why the bride did not wear a hijab 🧕 that morning was a real deal breaker, I’m surprised they actually went through with the wedding. Sexiest or not her future Father in Law felt she shamed the family. Not a good start to a future together
@yulyu it's only Islamaphobia if you're afraid of Muslims, and I don't think Angelica is. She's just formed an opinion about the religion of Islam itself and is biased about how she views it. She clearly doesn't hate Muslims or she wouldn't be standing up for the rights of Muslim women.
GIRL...You deserved every cent for that horrific day. I hope you included tip in your total to him!! This is why I don't ever want to do weddings anymore. I totally feel your pain and relate and you are so justified. This is what you get for trying to help someone out. I don't know why it always still surprises me that people are such HOT ASS messes, but they are. Kudos to you for being professional and getting it done! Lord I was stressed for you just listening to this!
You are so well spoken, funny, and entertaining to watch. I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers. I can totally see your channel blowing up. You gained a new subscriber
Brielle Zangari and the fact that he didn’t tip you. So sorry this happened but impressed you have taken the experience and learned from it to protect yourself in the future.
As a freelance makeup artist who just started doing weddings I was both excited and terrified to click on this 😂 I love the way you tell stories! I felt your stress and frustration through my screen. Also, I would love to see more story time videos about your experience freelancing, as well as a video on things you wished you knew before you started! 😊
Jessica Bronner unfortunately this wasn’t my wedding to work, and the set pricing they had agreed on was even less than what I had asked for. I wasn’t going to up-charge her ridiculously since it wasn’t the brides fault - although yes, now I would’ve charged about that pricing for the day but at the time it wasn’t something I could ask for.
@@briellezangari8442 I totally get it ! The good thing overall is that you got paid and also learned from this experience. Now I'm sure you charge 50%- x amount deposit etc which I feel its fair.
Brielle Zangari It blows my mind that they didn’t tip you. Especially since you saved the day....... the WEDDING DAY. But then again I shouldn’t be surprised because I was speaking to the girl who does my lashes not long ago and the subject of tipping came up and I was shocked to learn how many people do not tip for lashes or hair. Especially when these clients know my girl and all of the other stylist rent a booth. Tbh it really makes me mad. 🤦🏼♀️
I really appreciate how non offensively and carefully you spoke on handling and working with another culture. It was so easy and fluid for you, and it says a lot about you as a person. Great video girlfran. I hope we can be TH-cam friends!!! I’m posting my first video once I hit a certain number of subs, in you’ll be in for a treatttttt. 💛💛💛💛
I just had so much second-hand stress from this story. That dad is such a baby omg. Can't seem to grasp the concept that you can't force religion/culture upon anyone 🙄
It's one thing if you want your kids to participate in your culture. But what made his attitude even worse for me is that it wasn't even his own daughter!! He just liked having the power to be able to cancel the wedding even if it was the day of.
middle eastern weddings are always on top with like 800 guest, beacause the neighbors cousin even gets invited 😄 everything looks expensive, but they also go often in debt for weddings
This story is so crazy but I’m Muslim but I’m African American so this isn’t my culture but this sounds very accurate and totally believable which is quite sad😭😭
Imagine if the bride had started crying or something and ruined her makeup and needed it redone too.. ugh. I went to mua school and we had to do makeup on each other all the time and some people with sensitive skin the makeup will never look good the second time and you’d only get one shot. My skin is like that personally.
Word of advice. I have had trouble before getting money from clients. It sucks big time! Don’t feel embarrassed about asking for payment! You earned it! You worked hard for it. You are an artist who deserves to be paid. People don’t work for nothing! If clients are holding up payments, charge them for the extra time you have to wait... and let them know this. You would be surprised at how quickly, they pay when they know you are still on the clock. After all, that is your time you spend away from family, friends etc.
These weddings are so much fun (actually), the energy is great and everyone loves to dance. The reason for the stacks of cash: literally all night everyone keeps chucking wads of notes at the bride and groom (also at the drummers/ band/ singer). It's really funny to watch, just large note bills being shoved in hands, thrown on keyboards etc. I swear I've seen less cash thrown around at high end strip clubs, it's proper bananas.
The "scarf" is actually called Hijab and it's not a cultural thing, it's a religious thing. Also, it's not the family or the husband's decision about whether or not she wears it, it is strictly the woman's decision and no one should determine whether or not she wears on. Just some lil things I wanted to point out for educational purposes but I'm not the most knowledgeable on these subjects so if someone knows better, please correct me!:)
Obviously (esp in this case) there's a lot of pressure involved on the woman making the "choice". I'm from Canada and we've had sick, sick cases of young women murdered by their fathers/brothers for not wearing a hijab. I am respectful of other cultures and hope the best for everyone, but am not stupid enough to believe that it's a choice devoid of pressure or shame or threats of some variety and we need to stop blindly propagating such a myth. 😰 my 2 cents
100% spot on. but in this girls case, her family had it in their minds that they had to force her to wear it which is completely wrong. Hijab is and should always be the choice of the woman wearing it, not the family or anyone else.
As soon as she said middle eastern wedding I laughed and said “good luck” out loud. 😂😂 girl I don’t even know what happens yet but I’m willing to bet everyone had an opinion and wanted over the top makeup 😂😂 btw I’m middle eastern and I can just imagine my aunties in this situation
I'm interested in becoming a free lance makeup artist, can u do some videos about pricing, and growing ur kit, and what u need to start with and tips on how to work on different skin tones and ages? I would be really interested in that, I'm a new subscriber and I love ur vibe, ur totally someone I can learn from! Love from CT
As an Armenian, I feel I have to apologize for how over the top our weddings are!! The makeup looks are exactly like what she described for middle eastern weddings!
The scarf name is a hijab. Not surprised to hear about how late everything was, I have family and friends that are middle eastern, and they refer to the schedule they're on as "Arabic time". Those weddings, at least the ones I've gone to, are over the top fancy. Funny story, thanks for sharing.
This video had me literally lol! 🤣🤣🤣Just the way you story tell had me laughing! Literally the best video! Please do more! Btw did you hear back from that makeup artist who never made it?
so glad you enjoyed! We are actually still friendly with each other but never really spoke about what happened during the wedding! She's a great person and artist though, regardless of my poor experience!!! lol
@@briellezangari8442 that's very nice of you to say!! I can't believe she just left you to do it all and she didn't have the courtesy to tell you what kind of wedding it was!!!!!
i started watching this because it was in my recommended, stayed because you are a fantastic storyteller, and then i subbed when i heard snail mail playing in the background 💕💕💕
I came across that randomly but had to watch. Although it had to be so stressful for you, it was a good tool to put in your box because you handled this with grace under fire. That being said, I just want to say that you are such a great story-teller, and had me laughing at how you told it.
Wow you are beautiful without makeup, when she said get ready with me, I was like girl you look ready 😂 very pretty skin! I’m gonna try that primer... I have big pores on my inner cheeks besides the nose.
Brown_and_Curly_ NE_Girly omg gurl i started using face lotion with a low spf in it i think its by nuetrogena and its their face lotion and in legitimately a week my porrs SHRANK and my face got SMOOTH AF and i had extremely dry skin wih big pores before so like its a miracle
Brown_and_Curly_ NE_Girly yeah it is one of thos bottles with “face moisturizer” they have a few different kind for different skin types i just got a basic hydrating one though i think it was like $12
It’s weird, I just stumbled across you. I’m actually a hairstylist out of Philly and I do a lot of weddings. I just had a baby so I’m staying home this season but it’s weird you were in my recommended videos!
^^^ same but wisconsin and i didn't have a baby recently. but congrats! all of my crazy stories came to mind, too. the craziest was waiting for a bride to get done showering WITH THE GROOM before we could do her hair/makeup. ugh!!! haha
I love watching these story times. I have aspergers so i don't always know how to act in a situation and this gives me insight on how I myself and those around me should be with someone providing a service. Thanks!
New subscriber!!! I've been a makeup artist and hair stylist for 15 years and this story made me cringe! One thing that I can absolutely not tolerate is when people waste my time and not respect it!!! You were very patient with them so sorry you went through this mess.
I feel like its worth noting that many Arabs are actually christian and that includes much of the Middle East and Egypt so one should be careful in lumping cultures together (NOT SAYING YOU DID THAT). Also, strict practice enforcing hijab or other forms of headwear is not always as extreme as highlighted in this story. I married into a Lebanese Muslim (Muslims are a minority in Lebanon) family and no one one in my immediate or extended family, or even our friends is this strict about enforcing wearing of the hijab. Every family, whether Muslim, Christian, Jewish etc. has varying levels of patriarchal influence or religious interpretations.
@@norah672 This more or less explains that the majority of Islamic followers is not in the Middle East. I just feel like it should be clear "Middle Eastern" and Islamic are not always one in the same.
I am muslim and wear a scarf and am so boggled. WTH. I HATE men like these. They give Islam a terrible rep :( whether a girl wears a scarf or not is strictly up to her. Ugh. Entertaining video nevertheless and I love your work!
I love this whole story - I TO am a freelance bridal artist, and can absolutely relate. But your comment about being an AWKWARD POTATO had me dying of laughter.
Wearing the scarf isn't the choice of the husband or family whatsoever---it's the woman herself. When the man met his future wife, she was either wearing a scarf or not wearing one, and that's the way he accepts her. He has no say in how she dresses--he just met her!
I'm also an MUAH and I've had similar (use this term loosely) situations where there end up being more ladies ° and even a few gentlemen° than the original client(s) in the party who also want to be styled. So I've cut this deal; clients do their own foundation/concealer/bronzer base, I do *eyes- *cheeks+ and lips *eyes- ~ I apply the shadow, liquid liner & brows, THEY do their OWN mascara and (if they want it) tight/water liner I charge extra for last minute additional clients who want false lashes as there is a potential for this to be very time consuming *Cheeks+ ~I do contour, highlight and blush Lips ~ I do the liner (including reverse liner if correcting is required) OR lipstick OR Gloss = I keep it to whichever two products they'd like the most help with. I find that if they lay the foundation/base down then I can do eyes, cheeks, lips and it only takes like 15-20 minutes per person. Many woman in the bridal suite will look at the work you've been doing on the bride and suddenly decide that they want to get glam for pictures too. What they usually need/want the to feel especially gorgeous is shadow+ liquid liner and help with their contour, highlight and glow. I've been doing prom and wedding work (photoshoots and stage productions) since 1996 as a Jr. In H.S. when I took cosmetology courses (in the evenings at the film school.) This method has always helped me get a little extra coin w/o making me feel like a chaotic nutcase 😘🙏
Broooo this is so crazy bc I'm Muslim and this happens a lot with arab/Asian people (I'm black and Puerto rican) they as a "Muslim" family, did sooo many things wrong. I'm not talking about culture or living in a western country. I'm talking about PURE religion. 1. Whoever snitched was wrong. Not even a little wrong, a lot wrong based off of Islamic teachings. You're not supposed just snitch especially if you know nothing will come out of it good or bad. Please don't get this confused with we can't snitch period. No that's not it, she didn't commit a murder, she just didn't have her scarf (hijab) on. 2. Her scarf is VERY MUCH HER PERSONAL BUISNESS. This has nothing to do with politics or feminism. If a male saw her, he should've lowered his gaze and kept it moving. And even the father walking into the room (grooms father) shouldn't have been looking either. This is why so many girls specifically, leave islam bc ppl are literally forcing them to do this like there's no ultimatum. I'm not saying she shouldn't wear her scarf a certain way but that's literally none of my buisness. Like ppl don't know how much the Quran STRESSES ABOUT MINDING YOUR OWN BUISNESS. All you can do is remind ppl and keep it going. That's it. There's no punishment for not wearing your scarf or not wearing it properly "in this life" if you believe in a afterlife. Whatever relationship she has with her scarf is her buisness just like how the father didn't care about walking in the room and didn't care that she was wearing makeup (women can't wear makeup in public unless it's in front of family or at home) and didn't care that whoever saw her snitched. Ppl like to use religion to fit their desires so he shouldn't be complaining since he decided to overlook a lot of other things. ALSO YOU CAN'T PREVENT 2 PPL FROM GETTING MARRIED OVER SOMETHING LIKE THAT. That's not proper adab (manners, which is mentioned in islamic teachings). I wish ppl wouldn't call this mysognoy, bc this is based off of pure ignorance and wanting to please others and themselves. I'm just being honest a lot of arab/Asian ppl don't want big weddings. They do it for family members that they don't even know bc their parents want to impress ppl. But that ain't none of my business ☕
That’s actually a great story. I don’t even know how I got here but I ended up listening to the whole story!! My only comment is how I dislike the way the men in that culture treat the women. I am so happy that the bride stood up for herself!!
Its the “Nikka “which is the ceremony before the reception . Men only . Welcome to the Muslim community 😂😂I deal with this daily . Actually most my clients are Muslims, firstly : they always late . Secondly there is a mid day prayer they have to do before you do make up so don’t bother getting there before 12. 🤣 Wedding usually start at 7pm. Good luck
Marvellous Melie since this wedding I’ve worked a handful of other Muslim weddings and yes, there are repeating issues. I don’t believe her Nikka was that morning, sometimes Nikkas are done in advance prior to the wedding, or the day before. I’m assuming it depends on the family and their personal preference.
Nikkah's are not necessarily men only. The reason why there are mainly men in attendance is because the woman needs her male guardians (I.e. dad, brother or uncle) to be witnesses to the signing of the marriage contract. Women can be there though. For my dad's nikkah my whole family was there (girls and boys). I suppose it also depends on the family and their personal beliefs/norms.
This was so entertaining! Loved this. I'm only a little less than a year in and just had to stop doing makeup because I wasnt finding enough clients on my own. I loved your tips video too. I'm working at usps until I can get out of debt and then I pray and hope to get back into makeup because I truly love it and it makes me feel fulfilled.
I am a professional wedding coordinator. Unfortunately, your story is not unusual. My heart goes out to you and so proud you would NOT accept a check!!! You have to have every right to put your foot down. You have to respect your craft. Lesson learned - get a deposit down!!!
This must of been so hectic lol but sounds so funny at the same time. I love the way you tell the story your personality is so cool. This cracked me up.
This is my first time watching a video by you...you are so very talented!!!! Your makeup is beautiful and that was an entertaining story!!!! Thank you!!! I am now a new subscriber! Have a great day!
Girl you need to push for those weddings. You can make a fortune. Do those glue-on jewels and glitter everywhere and you’re in! That was just a ton of stress though. Your makeup look fabulous!
this story is making me so nervous bc im going to be in my 1st wedding and im lowkey scared there will be intimidating people or an uncomfortable setting hahaha i've heard so many horror stories like these! and now i'm like WHAT IF
I rarely comment on videos like this, but here's my thoughts 😂🤔 I'm a professional makeup artist. I do bridal parties too. I would have never charged extra for it being last minute. Travel yes. But you had no plans. You were making money anyways and could have easily said no if you didn't wanna do it. Its so frustrating as a bride that everything costs soooo much more as soon as you mention the word wedding to a supplier without the added cost of "last minute" also, you absolutely can make someone look more youthful with makeup. Every single mature client I've ever had has told me how much younger they've felt and looked. 🤷♀️ Sucks you had to wait around to be paid though. That's not cool.
The sexism in this story... Oh my God. I'm so sorry that there are women who suffer this on a daily basis. As a feminist I cannot fathom how some people justify making women cover their hair/skin/face and call it empowering. This is just awful.
Got a Moroccan style wedding makeup done last time I visit my family. My cousins looked weirder than I did since they make your skin super light. I’m the milk baby of the family so it wasn’t that weird. My cousin has dark olive skin. The contrast 😂.
The simple fact the groomsman had a much better environment and had less fighting and rules etc..shows how one-sided and misogynistic his dad was. I feel bad for the bride and I'm glad she stood up to the father in law.
I feel ever worse for you! You just gained a new sub, love your personality
Well it's not just his dad, that's their culture.
The groom/husband-to-be should have stood up to his father as well. Not funny.
That is the price for marring within her culture.
and their "culture" SUCKS
All of these comments criticizing a culture youre not apart of and dont know anything about are showing your ignorance. If you dont live it you dont know it. Stereotypes and stories of specific experiences dont speak for an entire group of people. Just like any and all groups there will always be bad and good aspects /people in it.

I don't understand how it is the bride's responsibility to pay the higher fee. She should have paid what she was quoted by the other artist, and the other MUA should have paid for the last minute substitute MUA.
I mean, sort of understand that, but the MUA cant be held accountable, the person paying for the MUA has to pay the full amount.
I agree. I think the other make up artist should have paid the difference. If I was the bride I’d be EXTREMELY ANGRY if my makeup artist set up another artist and i had to pay extra because the 1st one F’d up
Or the original MUA should have contacted the bride and let her know she found a replacement and what the new quote was, then let the bride decide. Oh well, the FIL paid anyway.
I mean we don't know if the bride was actually quoted a smaller amount. She could have just been saying that, we don't actually know. Regardless, this makeup artist bust her butt to get there on time to do the other MUA and this bride a favour, she was run around and around and around in circles for HOURS with no clear answers and it was incredibly unorganized. You should never expect someone to go head over heels to provide you the best service at the last minute for your bridal party of 10 PEOPLE and not expect to pay a pretty price for it.

I did 3 bridesmaids and a bride once. super simple makeup on the bridesmaids. That was A LOT!!
Ikr!(I know, I'm late🤷♂️) That takes so much talent!
For all those asking and messaging me about what I made, I made exactly $900 that day. This was a year and a half ago and now with a bridal party that size, and for my travel, I would charge probably double that. Also, for those asking if I included tip or if they gave me a tip - the answer is no :( but I learned very valuable lessons that day and I haven’t had a stressful day like that one since!
The other MUA owed you money, IMO.
Shoot, 100. Less than I thought. Yes. You gained a lot in experience that day. Love your makeup.
You should have gotten more. 10 people and the groom and the last min and the amount of time. I book a bride for 400. 1 bride. 200 for each extra person bridemaids or mother of bride. Grooming 100.
Brielle Zangari this is what the Arab/Muslim culture is all about. I knew first hand. Lesson? Don’t ever do a Muslim wedding again.
I would never pay $400 for someone to do wedding makeup. Seriously, are you a doctor? I'm an engineer and don't make that much money per hour. Christ.
U should do more makeup artist horror stories . This was entertaining n funny I like the way u explained it lol I was stressed jus by listening .
I appreciate how kind you were when speaking about the wedding party and how respectful your were of their beliefs and traditions. Great story, I felt like I was there with you.

I think Middle Eastern/Muslim weddings are so beautiful, very lavish and a big celebration of family religion and food. PS. My grandfather was from Indonesia/ Muslim he was married to my grandmother Puerto Rican for 42 yrs they were the best and kindest ppl you could ever meet.
Thank you for your comment some ppl do stereotype.
"Well, you're not doing anything so why don't you go make money?"
Every parent in a nutshell 😆
As that bride the wedding would have been off for the shear fact that my fiancé didn’t stand up for me to his dad. There’s no way I would have signed on for a life with a weak man.
👏 👏 👏 Yup and probably/definitely wouldn't even have made it through the engagement. That likely was not the first time he imposed on their marriage nor not the first time the fiancé let it happen without sticking up for her.
I love the fact that you forgot about the makeup sitting on your face because of your storytelling. Most grwm+storytime give me anxiety because the person spends 80% on the makeup and the story falls flat.
I once went out the door with one eyebrow because I talked like a crazy person and got distracted 😂. First time watcher and will be back.
you should've charged extra for waiting and extra hour just to get paid!!!
I agree! Plus!!!! I would have asked for accommodation for the night because screw driving an hour and a half at 7pm.
the scarf is decided only and only by the person wearing it. if someone orders you to wear it it becomes invalid so no one can decide it.
Anneleen D. V. I’m sure that is absolutely true, but from what was explained to me that day by the bride as well as her sisters, this was not the case for them.
That is the ideal but with cultural pressure we can see it's not always the case.
Thank youuuu
Yup!
Except that a lot of girls are forced to
How can you snitch on the bride on her wedding day lmao 😂😂 great story
Right?! What was that person's problem?!!!! 😡
It was someone on the groom's side and judging by how the husband to be and the father acted, I doubt the rest of their side of the family is much better.
This is so frustrating, but I am FULLY AWARE that middle eastern and Indian wedding are different but have very similar concepts when it comes to MAKEUP*****. I have worked countless weddings from both areas and they are almost the same when it comes to MAKEUP****. Also, as mentioned in the video, I was unsure of where exactly the bride was from and it was either somewhere in the Middle East (not to mention that Egypt is in fact considered a part of the Middle East..) or from India, so I was speaking generally*** as to not give any false information. I feel like this was expressed in the video but it seems I need to clarify once again.
I liked your story and didn't think you were being "racist" or "Ignorant" or whatever all the other ppl were crying wolf about....
PLEASE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER MUA!?
The bride should have ran away with you and gone to have drinks.
The blatant sexism in this story really bothers me. Ugh. I can't stand the way they treated that bride. You're a good storyteller though.
AUSTRALIAN MUM VLOGGER Agreed, why the bride did not wear a hijab 🧕 that morning was a real deal breaker, I’m surprised they actually went through with the wedding. Sexiest or not her future Father in Law felt she shamed the family. Not a good start to a future together
I’m sorry this represents Islam. Nobody is ever aloud to treat their women like this. It’s very cultural to be so cruel. 😖😖🤢
Thank you!!!! I couldn’t get over that.
Islam is a disgusting religion that treats women like shit so yea I hear ya
@yulyu it's only Islamaphobia if you're afraid of Muslims, and I don't think Angelica is. She's just formed an opinion about the religion of Islam itself and is biased about how she views it. She clearly doesn't hate Muslims or she wouldn't be standing up for the rights of Muslim women.
Am I the only one dying to know how much she charged? Lol
1000
That’s all???
For that much work, plus travel, my rate would be $2500.
i bet you 3 grand
Susie's Nail Hauls And 50 Plus Skin Care i wish I had charged this much, lol
GIRL...You deserved every cent for that horrific day. I hope you included tip in your total to him!! This is why I don't ever want to do weddings anymore. I totally feel your pain and relate and you are so justified. This is what you get for trying to help someone out. I don't know why it always still surprises me that people are such HOT ASS messes, but they are. Kudos to you for being professional and getting it done! Lord I was stressed for you just listening to this!
If my husband or my husbands father told me to do something like not show my hair I would have said the same thing to them
"I'm sitting there like an awkward freaking potato" I just died 😂😂😂
You are so well spoken, funny, and entertaining to watch. I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers. I can totally see your channel blowing up. You gained a new subscriber
Rose Joy wow thank you so so much!
*sees the stack of money* “oh actually i need 300 more”
Mallorie Stancil literally I thought I could’ve asked for way more since he didn’t even question me
lol be like for emotional damage
Brielle Zangari and the fact that he didn’t tip you. So sorry this happened but impressed you have taken the experience and learned from it to protect yourself in the future.
As a freelance makeup artist who just started doing weddings I was both excited and terrified to click on this 😂 I love the way you tell stories! I felt your stress and frustration through my screen.
Also, I would love to see more story time videos about your experience freelancing, as well as a video on things you wished you knew before you started! 😊
The girl who let you down .....not a friend even now dont pay her a cent.
But is this just a scsm
But what happened to the other makeup artist? LOL
I honestly feel you should've charged $150 per brides then bride $200 and $50 so maybe $1500/2000 travel included I feel like $900 isn't anything
Jessica Bronner unfortunately this wasn’t my wedding to work, and the set pricing they had agreed on was even less than what I had asked for. I wasn’t going to up-charge her ridiculously since it wasn’t the brides fault - although yes, now I would’ve charged about that pricing for the day but at the time it wasn’t something I could ask for.
@@briellezangari8442 I totally get it ! The good thing overall is that you got paid and also learned from this experience. Now I'm sure you charge 50%- x amount deposit etc which I feel its fair.
Brielle Zangari It blows my mind that they didn’t tip you. Especially since you saved the day....... the WEDDING DAY. But then again I shouldn’t be surprised because I was speaking to the girl who does my lashes not long ago and the subject of tipping came up and I was shocked to learn how many people do not tip for lashes or hair. Especially when these clients know my girl and all of the other stylist rent a booth. Tbh it really makes me mad. 🤦🏼♀️
Damn your mom and sisters came in clutch tho
Ladyhmcgaga 17 right? Lucky me
I really appreciate how non offensively and carefully you spoke on handling and working with another culture. It was so easy and fluid for you, and it says a lot about you as a person. Great video girlfran. I hope we can be TH-cam friends!!! I’m posting my first video once I hit a certain number of subs, in you’ll be in for a treatttttt. 💛💛💛💛
The first vendors I booked for my wedding was hair and makeup. The first people I paid were the hair and makeup artists! Wtf goes on?!
Oh, the flashbacks. I don’t miss doing weddings. Rarely a smooth day. 😖
Your Little Dreamboat cool profile picture
TheLifeOfThisGirly Awe! Thanks!
I just had so much second-hand stress from this story. That dad is such a baby omg. Can't seem to grasp the concept that you can't force religion/culture upon anyone 🙄
It's one thing if you want your kids to participate in your culture. But what made his attitude even worse for me is that it wasn't even his own daughter!! He just liked having the power to be able to cancel the wedding even if it was the day of.
@@mirsey93 definite power move. So gross
middle eastern weddings are always on top with like 800 guest, beacause the neighbors cousin even gets invited 😄 everything looks expensive, but they also go often in debt for weddings
This story is so crazy but I’m Muslim but I’m African American so this isn’t my culture but this sounds very accurate and totally believable which is quite sad😭😭
This drama makes our bridezillas' outburts look tame! Oof.
By the way, you are gorgeous!
Jeana Heimer I know this is the craziest story and thank you so much babe!!💓💓
You are literally so pretty I just subscribed 😍😍
this was uploaded in october of 2018 but I'm so happy I found it in 2019 apparently a lot of other ppl.
Not gonna lie, Im 10 minutes in thinking "for how long is she gonna blend this foundation for!?" 🤔😅🤣😭... entertaining story tho 😍
Holy shit I feel so sorry for the bride, so much misogyny!
that is the culture
@@Catherine3385 fgm is also common in other cultures, doesn't mean it's right
🦇Jo🦇 No, I agree, It is not right at all
The wedding cancellation was a dramatic touch ... if he said it was cuz he was mad ... that’s not how it works lol
Imagine if the bride had started crying or something and ruined her makeup and needed it redone too.. ugh. I went to mua school and we had to do makeup on each other all the time and some people with sensitive skin the makeup will never look good the second time and you’d only get one shot. My skin is like that personally.
I meant we redid makeup several times for practice...
Word of advice. I have had trouble before getting money from clients. It sucks big time! Don’t feel embarrassed about asking for payment! You earned it! You worked hard for it. You are an artist who deserves to be paid. People don’t work for nothing! If clients are holding up payments, charge them for the extra time you have to wait... and let them know this. You would be surprised at how quickly, they pay when they know you are still on the clock. After all, that is your time you spend away from family, friends etc.
Seems like a really unfortunate family to be marrying into, hope the bride is doing alright dealing with all that though tbh divorce him lol
These weddings are so much fun (actually), the energy is great and everyone loves to dance. The reason for the stacks of cash: literally all night everyone keeps chucking wads of notes at the bride and groom (also at the drummers/ band/ singer). It's really funny to watch, just large note bills being shoved in hands, thrown on keyboards etc. I swear I've seen less cash thrown around at high end strip clubs, it's proper bananas.
Did the original makeup artist say why she never showed up?!?!
I liked the line "I'm not a plastic surgeon, that DOESN'T EXIST!"
What happened with the other makeup artist tho??
The "scarf" is actually called Hijab and it's not a cultural thing, it's a religious thing. Also, it's not the family or the husband's decision about whether or not she wears it, it is strictly the woman's decision and no one should determine whether or not she wears on. Just some lil things I wanted to point out for educational purposes but I'm not the most knowledgeable on these subjects so if someone knows better, please correct me!:)
It is a cultural thing tho
Apparently it's big enough a deal to cancel a wedding over.
Obviously (esp in this case) there's a lot of pressure involved on the woman making the "choice". I'm from Canada and we've had sick, sick cases of young women murdered by their fathers/brothers for not wearing a hijab. I am respectful of other cultures and hope the best for everyone, but am not stupid enough to believe that it's a choice devoid of pressure or shame or threats of some variety and we need to stop blindly propagating such a myth. 😰 my 2 cents
Gemma Weber thank you
100% spot on. but in this girls case, her family had it in their minds that they had to force her to wear it which is completely wrong. Hijab is and should always be the choice of the woman wearing it, not the family or anyone else.
I usually hate story times but you are so entertaining to listen to!! Please do more of these crazy client stories lmao I loved it
Did you say whatever happened to the original MUA? Did you hear back from her?
As soon as she said middle eastern wedding I laughed and said “good luck” out loud. 😂😂 girl I don’t even know what happens yet but I’m willing to bet everyone had an opinion and wanted over the top makeup 😂😂 btw I’m middle eastern and I can just imagine my aunties in this situation
I'm interested in becoming a free lance makeup artist, can u do some videos about pricing, and growing ur kit, and what u need to start with and tips on how to work on different skin tones and ages? I would be really interested in that, I'm a new subscriber and I love ur vibe, ur totally someone I can learn from! Love from CT
old bag: " make me look younger"
Her: I'm not a plastic surgeon!
lol that had me dyinnngg 😂😂😂 so true tho
The largest wedding party I've done is 7, and girl I couldn't move the next day!! My back and feet hurt so bad.
As an Armenian, I feel I have to apologize for how over the top our weddings are!! The makeup looks are exactly like what she described for middle eastern weddings!
The scarf name is a hijab. Not surprised to hear about how late everything was, I have family and friends that are middle eastern, and they refer to the schedule they're on as "Arabic time". Those weddings, at least the ones I've gone to, are over the top fancy. Funny story, thanks for sharing.
Just looked at your gallery and omg you are amazing.
Ashley Brook thank you so much!
This video had me literally lol! 🤣🤣🤣Just the way you story tell had me laughing! Literally the best video! Please do more!
Btw did you hear back from that makeup artist who never made it?
so glad you enjoyed! We are actually still friendly with each other but never really spoke about what happened during the wedding! She's a great person and artist though, regardless of my poor experience!!! lol
That’s great! I’m glad you guys are still cool!
@@briellezangari8442 that's very nice of you to say!! I can't believe she just left you to do it all and she didn't have the courtesy to tell you what kind of wedding it was!!!!!
i started watching this because it was in my recommended, stayed because you are a fantastic storyteller, and then i subbed when i heard snail mail playing in the background 💕💕💕
I came across that randomly but had to watch. Although it had to be so stressful for you, it was a good tool to put in your box because you handled this with grace under fire. That being said, I just want to say that you are such a great story-teller, and had me laughing at how you told it.
The scarf is called "hijab." Some people also call it "Islamic headscarf."
I’ve done many middle eastern weddings and I know exactly what you went through. Glad you stayed strong and finished and got paid
I felt so much connection with the “awkward potato” umm my whole life lol
Wow you are beautiful without makeup, when she said get ready with me, I was like girl you look ready 😂 very pretty skin! I’m gonna try that primer... I have big pores on my inner cheeks besides the nose.
Brown_and_Curly_ NE_Girly omg gurl i started using face lotion with a low spf in it i think its by nuetrogena and its their face lotion and in legitimately a week my porrs SHRANK and my face got SMOOTH AF and i had extremely dry skin wih big pores before so like its a miracle
Maegan Zofnas omg whaaaaa....😱😍you said you maybe neutrogena? I’m gonna be at Walgreens with the whole neutrogena aisle in my cart
Brown_and_Curly_ NE_Girly yeah it is one of thos bottles with “face moisturizer” they have a few different kind for different skin types i just got a basic hydrating one though i think it was like $12
It’s weird, I just stumbled across you. I’m actually a hairstylist out of Philly and I do a lot of weddings. I just had a baby so I’m staying home this season but it’s weird you were in my recommended videos!
^^^ same but wisconsin and i didn't have a baby recently. but congrats! all of my crazy stories came to mind, too. the craziest was waiting for a bride to get done showering WITH THE GROOM before we could do her hair/makeup. ugh!!! haha
I love watching these story times. I have aspergers so i don't always know how to act in a situation and this gives me insight on how I myself and those around me should be with someone providing a service. Thanks!
New subscriber!!!
I've been a makeup artist and hair stylist for 15 years and this story made me cringe! One thing that I can absolutely not tolerate is when people waste my time and not respect it!!! You were very patient with them so sorry you went through this mess.
I feel like its worth noting that many Arabs are actually christian and that includes much of the Middle East and Egypt so one should be careful in lumping cultures together (NOT SAYING YOU DID THAT). Also, strict practice enforcing hijab or other forms of headwear is not always as extreme as highlighted in this story. I married into a Lebanese Muslim (Muslims are a minority in Lebanon) family and no one one in my immediate or extended family, or even our friends is this strict about enforcing wearing of the hijab. Every family, whether Muslim, Christian, Jewish etc. has varying levels of patriarchal influence or religious interpretations.
Can you site your source that says most arabs are Christians
@@norah672 www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/01/31/worlds-muslim-population-more-widespread-than-you-might-think/
@@norah672 This more or less explains that the majority of Islamic followers is not in the Middle East. I just feel like it should be clear "Middle Eastern" and Islamic are not always one in the same.
I am muslim and wear a scarf and am so boggled. WTH. I HATE men like these. They give Islam a terrible rep :( whether a girl wears a scarf or not is strictly up to her. Ugh. Entertaining video nevertheless and I love your work!
My mother owned a bridal shop for over 30 yrs, also custom making dresses for the bridal/bridal party. OMG, some of the clients she had!
Gurrl you should have stuck to your first instinct and said NO
this story got me shocked gurl! btw im in love with your brows omg
I love this whole story - I TO am a freelance bridal artist, and can absolutely relate. But your comment about being an AWKWARD POTATO had me dying of laughter.
Wearing the scarf isn't the choice of the husband or family whatsoever---it's the woman herself. When the man met his future wife, she was either wearing a scarf or not wearing one, and that's the way he accepts her. He has no say in how she dresses--he just met her!
I'm also an MUAH and I've had similar (use this term loosely) situations where there end up being more ladies ° and even a few gentlemen° than the original client(s) in the party who also want to be styled. So I've cut this deal; clients do their own foundation/concealer/bronzer base, I do *eyes- *cheeks+ and lips
*eyes- ~
I apply the shadow, liquid liner & brows, THEY do their OWN mascara and (if they want it) tight/water liner
I charge extra for last minute additional clients who want false lashes as there is a potential for this to be very time consuming
*Cheeks+ ~I do contour, highlight and blush
Lips ~
I do the liner (including reverse liner if correcting is required) OR lipstick OR Gloss = I keep it to whichever two products they'd like the most help with.
I find that if they lay the foundation/base down then I can do eyes, cheeks, lips and it only takes like 15-20 minutes per person. Many woman in the bridal suite will look at the work you've been doing on the bride and suddenly decide that they want to get glam for pictures too. What they usually need/want the to feel especially gorgeous is shadow+ liquid liner and help with their contour, highlight and glow. I've been doing prom and wedding work (photoshoots and stage productions) since 1996 as a Jr. In H.S. when I took cosmetology courses (in the evenings at the film school.) This method has always helped me get a little extra coin
w/o making me feel like a chaotic nutcase 😘🙏
Broooo this is so crazy bc I'm Muslim and this happens a lot with arab/Asian people (I'm black and Puerto rican) they as a "Muslim" family, did sooo many things wrong. I'm not talking about culture or living in a western country. I'm talking about PURE religion. 1. Whoever snitched was wrong. Not even a little wrong, a lot wrong based off of Islamic teachings. You're not supposed just snitch especially if you know nothing will come out of it good or bad. Please don't get this confused with we can't snitch period. No that's not it, she didn't commit a murder, she just didn't have her scarf (hijab) on. 2. Her scarf is VERY MUCH HER PERSONAL BUISNESS. This has nothing to do with politics or feminism. If a male saw her, he should've lowered his gaze and kept it moving. And even the father walking into the room (grooms father) shouldn't have been looking either. This is why so many girls specifically, leave islam bc ppl are literally forcing them to do this like there's no ultimatum. I'm not saying she shouldn't wear her scarf a certain way but that's literally none of my buisness. Like ppl don't know how much the Quran STRESSES ABOUT MINDING YOUR OWN BUISNESS. All you can do is remind ppl and keep it going. That's it. There's no punishment for not wearing your scarf or not wearing it properly "in this life" if you believe in a afterlife. Whatever relationship she has with her scarf is her buisness just like how the father didn't care about walking in the room and didn't care that she was wearing makeup (women can't wear makeup in public unless it's in front of family or at home) and didn't care that whoever saw her snitched. Ppl like to use religion to fit their desires so he shouldn't be complaining since he decided to overlook a lot of other things. ALSO YOU CAN'T PREVENT 2 PPL FROM GETTING MARRIED OVER SOMETHING LIKE THAT. That's not proper adab (manners, which is mentioned in islamic teachings). I wish ppl wouldn't call this mysognoy, bc this is based off of pure ignorance and wanting to please others and themselves. I'm just being honest a lot of arab/Asian ppl don't want big weddings. They do it for family members that they don't even know bc their parents want to impress ppl. But that ain't none of my business ☕
That’s actually a great story. I don’t even know how I got here but I ended up listening to the whole story!! My only comment is how I dislike the way the men in that culture treat the women. I am so happy that the bride stood up for herself!!
this was such a fun video to watch, especially because Brielle has such a great personality that complimented the story soooo well :)
Its the “Nikka “which is the ceremony before the reception . Men only .
Welcome to the Muslim community 😂😂I deal with this daily .
Actually most my clients are Muslims, firstly : they always late . Secondly there is a mid day prayer they have to do before you do make up so don’t bother getting there before 12. 🤣
Wedding usually start at 7pm.
Good luck
Marvellous Melie since this wedding I’ve worked a handful of other Muslim weddings and yes, there are repeating issues. I don’t believe her Nikka was that morning, sometimes Nikkas are done in advance prior to the wedding, or the day before. I’m assuming it depends on the family and their personal preference.
Nikkah's are not necessarily men only. The reason why there are mainly men in attendance is because the woman needs her male guardians (I.e. dad, brother or uncle) to be witnesses to the signing of the marriage contract. Women can be there though. For my dad's nikkah my whole family was there (girls and boys).
I suppose it also depends on the family and their personal beliefs/norms.
This was so entertaiming! You are a great story teller!
This was so entertaining! Loved this. I'm only a little less than a year in and just had to stop doing makeup because I wasnt finding enough clients on my own. I loved your tips video too. I'm working at usps until I can get out of debt and then I pray and hope to get back into makeup because I truly love it and it makes me feel fulfilled.
I am a professional wedding coordinator. Unfortunately, your story is not unusual. My heart goes out to you and so proud you would NOT accept a check!!! You have to have every right to put your foot down. You have to respect your craft. Lesson learned - get a deposit down!!!
I'm assuming because this
This must of been so hectic lol but sounds so funny at the same time. I love the way you tell the story your personality is so cool. This cracked me up.
Even though you were in hell at the moment but I'm glad you got paid :)
THE best video on TH-cam ugh Ilu❤️
love you !!!!!!
At least you got paid in cash...nontaxable? not sure how taxes work when you're freelance lol
This is my first time watching a video by you...you are so very talented!!!! Your makeup is beautiful and that was an entertaining story!!!! Thank you!!! I am now a new subscriber! Have a great day!
shoutout to the bride for standing up to the best man.
Babe you have no idea how much this helped I had a crazy experience over the weekend and this really helped me 💕
Girl you need to push for those weddings. You can make a fortune. Do those glue-on jewels and glitter everywhere and you’re in! That was just a ton of stress though. Your makeup look fabulous!
This is UNREALLLL I’m dying!!!!
😂😭😭😭gurl this was too good of a story time😭😭 I need more! Subbed!
Story of my life...I hate doing weddings
this story is making me so nervous bc im going to be in my 1st wedding and im lowkey scared there will be intimidating people or an uncomfortable setting hahaha i've heard so many horror stories like these! and now i'm like WHAT IF
“For MULTIPLE REASONS I don’t accept checks!” 😩😭
I rarely comment on videos like this, but here's my thoughts 😂🤔 I'm a professional makeup artist. I do bridal parties too. I would have never charged extra for it being last minute. Travel yes. But you had no plans. You were making money anyways and could have easily said no if you didn't wanna do it. Its so frustrating as a bride that everything costs soooo much more as soon as you mention the word wedding to a supplier without the added cost of "last minute" also, you absolutely can make someone look more youthful with makeup. Every single mature client I've ever had has told me how much younger they've felt and looked. 🤷♀️ Sucks you had to wait around to be paid though. That's not cool.
You’re an A+ storyteller, I loved this whole thing!
Okay, youtube I clicked on it are you happy now
Haha I used to belly dance for weddings. Most of them middle eastern weddings. The wedding ALWAYS started late, like I could count on the lateness.
I randomly found this & when you said you were a potato I laughed out loud. That was SO funny. 10/10 enjoyed this. Very glad I found it.
one thing i always hated about the wedding business it never starts at your start time and the rest is just a rush!
Girl that's why you get deposits and payment before the wedding lol. I'd be pissed if that happened with one of my bridal parties.
The sexism in this story... Oh my God. I'm so sorry that there are women who suffer this on a daily basis. As a feminist I cannot fathom how some people justify making women cover their hair/skin/face and call it empowering. This is just awful.
Got a Moroccan style wedding makeup done last time I visit my family.
My cousins looked weirder than I did since they make your skin super light. I’m the milk baby of the family so it wasn’t that weird. My cousin has dark olive skin. The contrast 😂.
