Interview with Maria Montazami

Maria Montazami – lipstick and weddings

Bröllopsguiden was there when Maria Montazami launched her new lipstick range for Make Up Store, which has produced two new lipsticks in the shade ‘pink’ and one in a natural beige, each with a matching lip liner. We were treated to an exclusive interview with the Hollywood wife. What lovely lipsticks, Maria!

Which of them do you think suits a bride best on her wedding day?

– Thank you! I actually have to say both are perfect as wedding lipsticks because they’re very light. The bride doesn’t need to worry about them leaving marks on her teeth, her champagne glass or when she kisses her husband.

What should a bride do in the days leading up to the wedding to maintain her glow?

– It’s important for a bride-to-be to make sure she gets plenty of sleep, so she’ll have to forget all about partying and alcohol. Don’t skimp on your skincare and let your skin breathe. Try to relax with spa visits and other treatments, but steer clear of chemical peels and similar procedures. Last but not least, I think a bride-to-be should laugh a lot – it makes her beautiful.

Bröllopsguiden is read by many brides-to-be – what advice do you have for them?

– When it comes to weddings, it’s important to let your guests be part of the big day. They’re there for your sake, so make the wedding personal – for example, by ensuring your guests are captured in photos; you’ll have lovely memories. Don’t get too stressed out either. Don’t forget to enjoy yourselves – it’s your day! Don’t doubt your partner once you’re married. You’ll find faults with each other and life will be tough, but then you’ll just have to ‘suck it up’ – the grass really isn’t greener on the other side!

As for the big question, what did you look like on your wedding day?

– Kamran and I got married in Las Vegas. I wore a short dress and had apparently failed to realise that my garter shouldn’t be visible – which it was in every single photo. We had a really fun wedding and it cost us no more than $200, but not everything went to plan. When Kamran went to get the rings out, his tie got caught in the inside pocket of his suit. Then, when he lifted my veil to kiss me, I leaned back because I was wearing dark red lipstick and didn’t want Kamran to get it on his lips. Sadly, all these mishaps were caught on film. Today, we can just laugh about it!

You and Kamran have been married for over twenty years – how do you keep the love alive?

– Marriage doesn’t have to be difficult at all; just be considerate – that’s what a man needs, along with respect and loads of love. In return, he’ll give you just as much love, a family and shopping! Haha, no, but cherish your husband and appreciate everything he does. That’ll keep your love alive!
