In short. For a wedding or a party in Tangier, whether you do your own makeup or book someone is a decision that unfolds in stages, long before the day. This is the order it tends to take. Adom (adom.ma) and the AdomApp app (adomapp.com) connect you; the quote is free and payment follows the service.
First, what do you want from the day?
Three questions help before you compare anything. Do you want to look like yourself, only more finished, or like someone else? Will there be lots of photographs? And will you have the headspace on the morning itself to look after your own face?
If the honest answer is "like me" and you feel confident, doing it yourself is fine. If you have a precise look in mind, or the morning is crowded, a professional gives you back time and energy. Neither route is better in itself.
Months or weeks ahead: decide and book early
Tangier is the summer gateway for Moroccans living abroad. Whatever the season of your big day, the advice does not change: book early, wherever you are. An early request also gives you time to talk with the artist.
On AdomApp, describe the occasion, the place and roughly when. Then compare the replies at your own pace.
A trial run, if you are unsure
A trial is the best way to avoid surprises. You see what she proposes, how she talks to you and whether she really listens. Bring pictures of looks you like and a few you do not.
Mention any sensitive skin, allergy you know about, or product you refuse. Makeup here is about appearance, not a medical act, and the artist is not there to comment on the health of your skin.
In the final days: the practical side
Fix the address, the floor and how to get in. In Malabata, with its recent seafront residences, access is easy. In Marchan, old villas on the hill and narrow streets, say where to park. In the Centre-ville, which is very dense with scarce parking, give yourself a margin. In Iberia or Californie, mention the entrance or the gate.
Set up a well-lit room with a chair, a socket and a mirror. If several people are getting ready that morning, agree the order with her.
The night before and the morning itself
Leave any new product alone the night before, so your skin has no unexpected reaction. Lay out your outfit and accessories, and charge your phone. On the morning, have something to eat and drink before she arrives, because a long session is tiring on an empty stomach.
When she has finished
Look at yourself in daylight before she leaves. If anything bothers you, say so calmly right then, since that is the moment to adjust it. Ask whether she would suggest a touch-up during the day, and which one you can manage alone.
How to book
To request professional makeup, give AdomApp the occasion, the place and the time. Adom connects people and does not employ them, so the artist stays independent. The price is a free, personalised quote, you pay after the service, and first replies usually come within 24 to 48 hours.
You will find the other treatments on the Adom in Tangier page and the beauty at home in Tangier page.

Frequently asked questions
Is it better to do my own makeup or hire a professional?
It depends on how confident you are, how busy the day is and the look you want. Neither is better in itself.
When should I book a makeup artist for a big day?
As early as you can. An early request leaves time to compare replies and arrange a trial.
Do I need a trial before the big day?
It helps if you are unsure. A trial shows her style and avoids surprises.
What should I tell the professional beforehand?
Your wishes, reference photos, any skin sensitivity or known allergy, the address and the time.
How do I get a price?
Send a request on AdomApp: the quote is personalised and free, and you pay after the service.
