Alright, Sahar thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?

As a bridal makeup artist, my mission goes beyond just enhancing beauty. It’s about creating unforgettable moments that empower brides to radiate confidence and feel absolutely stunning on their special day.

For me, this mission is incredibly meaningful because I believe that every bride deserves to feel like a queen and have her inner beauty shine through. It’s about capturing the essence of who she is and bringing out her unique features, so she can walk down the aisle with grace and mesmerize everyone around her.

Being a part of such a significant moment in someone’s life fills my heart with joy. The smiles, tears of happiness, and the overwhelming gratitude from my brides are what fuel my passion for this art form.

It’s more than just flawless makeup, but an experience that will make my brides feel like the most beautiful version of themself. I join forces with them and make their wedding day dreams come true! Together, we create memories that will last a lifetime.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

My name is Sahar Jan. I am a 25 year old, South Asian, Bridal Artistry business owner. From a young age, I was captivated by the transformative power of makeup and hair. It had progressed over the years while working in the beauty retail industry. Learning to work with many different clientele to fulfil their expectations on what they want their finished look to be and how I communicate with them to reach their desires.

After completing college in Business Management, I had started my career in management leaving behind my passion for beauty. Throughout my time in management I gained a great amount of experience on knowing how to run a business yet, I still had a empty void that needed to be filled. I felt like I had a purpose with helping women feel beautiful but didn’t know how to create a career with it. After speaking with my older cousin, Misha, who also is a successful Bridal Beauty Artist based in DFW, TX (MishaArtistry), she had guided me to a program that helped her business to grow to the next level.

I had came upon a wonderful mentor/coach named Jenny Torry. I observed how she strives to help local makeup artists by perfecting their craft while creating a foundation for their business. Starstruck by this opportunity, I pursued my passion relentlessly, honing my skills at her Elite Bridal Mastery Program and training under her and her top artists in the industry. Throughout the time of hard work and dedication, I’ve had the privilege of working with countless brides, each with a unique vision for their special day.
