I am going to share a harrowing experience that happened on my wedding day: it was a NO SHOW from my make up artist Abhijit Paul, something that no bride should face. While my wedding date was 22 nd jan 2020, I had booked Abhijit Paul 7 months in advance. I was in constant touch with his manager from booking 7 months earlier till my wedding. On 22nd january Abhijit was supposed to come at 3 : 30 pm in my place for make up, I get a call from him at around 10 am on 22nd that he will not be able to make it as he is severely dehydrated due to boozing in a party the previous day. Now my question is, if the artist knows he has an assignment the next day, he should be sensible enough to drink responsibly to avoid any last minute inconveniences. He tells me all of this on my wedding day at 10 am, when I am supposed to sit for the rituals and have no time to arrange for any alternatives. He does promise to send me a replacement who was in the makeup team of another renowned make up artist and assuring me that the replacement does the same type of make up that abhijit does, but the question is that booking abhijit paul was my choice and now I am left with no option but to book an unknown make up artist. When I saw the portfolio of the substitute, his work was plain and unimpressive to say the least, someone I would not consider booking even for a birthday party, forget marriage. Imagine peeps, its my D- Day, the most important and happiest day of my life and I am going through such suffering in the morning for the unprofessionalism of a make up artist. Luckily, my cousins had few connections and was able to get the dates of an established make up artist on the last moment. Now, the aim of writing this review is not be biased or paint some negative picture in the fellow readers mind but just to make you all aware that such situations can happen to anyone, so beware and do thorough research on the make up artists, the professionalism of the person you are booking, otherwise you could land in the same soup that I landed in.
