Fashion is a trend that has fast become an epidemic in Pakistan. A pre-requisite to this necessary fashion epidemic is beauty. Pakistan has fallen prey to the international phenomenon of no compromise on beauty. Beauty is the baby step one needs to take to be accepted in the Pakistan fashion world.

Beauty is not all about pretty faces or about fair and lovely; Pakistan fashion has little more depth than that. Beauty in these new times of extreme fashion mania in Pakistan is more about self maintenance. In Pakistan Beauty is mostly wrongly interpreted as physical appearance and looks solely. Beauty is more of a characteristic which gives reason for appreciation. Hence beauty is an excuse to experience pleasure. Beauty is physical well being combined with emotional well being topped by mental well being. Beauty is only complete once well being has been achieved in all dimensions.

Fashion is a vast arena. Fashion doesn’t confine imagination. Fashion is not conformed by any one definition of fashion. Fashion is beauty one step ahead. Fashion blends beauty with style and trend. The perfect blend of these components and voila you have a fashion diva at your disposal. Fashion and beauty are so inter connected that fashion and beauty cannot be separated from one another. In Pakistan beauty and fashion have been highly influenced by culture. Therefore it is hardly surprising that in Pakistan fashion and beauty have become heavily commercialized.

Commercials in Pakistan have created a false sense of ‘ideal beauty’. This ideal beauty is being sold to the masses in Pakistan in the name of conformity with the Pakistan fashion. We live in times where consumer is being trained to endorse fashion and beauty as part of their everyday routine.

However the wrong assumption is how beauty and fashion cannot be cheaply acquired in Pakistan. Neither beauty nor fashion requires heavy cash spending in Pakistan. Both fashion and beauty can be conformed to at economical rates even in Pakistan.

Here are some easy tips to follow at home to keep your beauty rejuvenated. There are many beauty tips that are home based. Honey is a regular home product; try using honey everyday for fifteen minutes. When you will wash your face your skin will young and glowing. See beauty is not exactly as difficult as they make it out to be.

Beauty compliments fashion; fashion compliments beauty.

Fashion is not the Hercules we make it out to be. It is as every day as beauty is. Consider beauty a fore-runner to the world of fashion and style

Zero, a digit that has been haunting women all over the world for centuries now. And no I don’t mean it in the bank corrupt way but in terms of weight. Zero size is a dream every girl dreams of achieving and many don’t. It is sad how many young girls each year get stung by this bug and become ill and sometimes it has known to be life threatening as well. A question many ask and the answer most don’t know; what really is zero size? Size zero is an American clothes size. The measurements vary from store to store but typically would be about a 31 inch bust, 24 inch waist and 33 inch hips. In UK sizes this would be a standard size 6. Size 0 is the smallest US size available apart from a size 00 which is 1 inch smaller (equivalent of a UK size 4 - measurements 30-23-32).

Media has given the un-needed hype to zero size which has direct impact on the common people in the society. Boys wish to with women just like Angelina Jolie or Kareena Kapoor. Recently this bug reached Pakistan because our neighboring country actresses have also started to attain the impossible; to become zero size. Many like Shilpa Shetty and Kareena Kapoor have already become zero size putting direct pressure on our society as we relate more and more by Bollywood than Hollywood. Zero size pressure is one many girls can’t take and hence fall for the deadly disease anorexia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa in layman language is starvation to death but media has given it the fancy name of zero size.

Louise Redknapp, a singer and TV presenter, says of her documentary The Truth about Size Zero, “towards the end I remember thinking? It’s kind of nice to feel your jeans loosening.’ Oh my God, it felt pretty good. It was the first time I could wear skinny jeans and flat shoes and not feel fat. At that point I actually liked my body better, which is frightening. But my face and neck looked gaunt and, anyway, I couldn’t have maintained it. I felt like crap.”

Zero size may be tempting to achieve but it is not healthy and definitely not worth risking your life. Hence try to look for happiness in the things that really matter and always be motivated to live a healthy life than a life under peer pressure and life of living in false fairy tales.

Zero size is not the end of the world and surely it is not the beginning either. Life is all you make of it and your weight is not to be blamed for any failures that come your way. So don’t punish yourself for the crime you didn’t commit

Fashion designers can be your best fashion friends if you are in a habit to listen to Fashion designers advices. Fashion designers simply give you the new and good looks and the change by Fashion designers always brings something unique in your personality.

Fashion designers are the imaginative people who create new designs. Fashion designers actually convert your plain Fashion statements into the stylish one. They initially work in generating the ‘idea’ comes in their mind. Then Fashion designers sketch that idea on the paper or on the computer artistically. They choose colors, combinations, contrasts, accessories etc, to develop an innovative piece of creativeness. This entire process, from generating the ides to finishing the product takes even months of Fashion designers.

In this way Fashion designers makes your insight colorful. In our country Pakistani Fashion designers doing the same job; by creating/introducing new and fantastic ideas. Pakistani Fashion designers have big responsibility in this scenario as it’s not easy to style the mind sets of the people here, about Fashion statements.

More or less all the Fashion designers throughout the world feel affection for their fascinating work, but at times fashion designers acquire their job as challenge. Fashion designers tell you what actually suits you in the light of their experience. Fashion designers advice you according to your physique & height etc; as Fashion designers knows better regarding to outfit adjustment. Fashion designers also have better knowledge about the latest trends and up-date fashion statements, so they will guide you how to match with the current fashion world. Good Fashion designers have got all the guts to read the mind of their clients, these Fashion designers can judge that what their customer desired for. Now-a-days this tendency of seeking advice from Fashion designers is establishing popularity.

So it’s always good to consult the Fashion designers; to make you or your occasion special.

In our first part, we have told you about some precautionary measures regarding make-up; particularly about preparation of good make-up looks. After organizing the make-up products and directing yourself towards the good make-up ability, you need to access some more preventive measures of make-up.

Always start make-up with the fresh face and temperament. Wash your face gently, probably with some good mild soap or face wash; and re-wash with chill water. Some beauticians suggests that message your face with an ice-cube before applying summer/spring make-up. First of all applying good moisturizer provides you fewer chances of cracks in the base of your make-up.

Apply the foundation/base with intense care in your make-up as an equally blended /smooth base easily hides the blemishes or stains of your face. On the contrary un-equal or badly blended base of make-up highlights the stains on your face and makes them more prominent. If you are fancy to apply concealer, then do not forget to match it with your foundation. Artistic make-up easily covers all unwanted marks of your face.

For fine make-up another important thing is to select the standard make-up brushes, especially for the blush. Blush in make-up simply adds extra shine in your face by highlighting your cheeks. Always apply light colored shades on your cheeks to have soft make-up look, and to enhance your natural beauty. Light colored make-up shades like peach or light pink helps you in this scenario. Dark colored make-up shades can’t give you rosy & soft look. Also remember that apply the shades on the appropriate place on the cheeks for quality make-up; smile is the best way to direct you.

Eyes being the prominent feature of your face require the careful make-up. Do not forget to keep tissue paper beneath the eyes while applying eye make-up; as the extra dust if sprinkle on the face would disturb your neat make over. Preferably apply the eye make-up shades according to your dress code, but to have bit natural looks apply the light shades. Do not forget to apply mascara to define your eye shape for a neat make-up.

Applying lipstick would be the last stage of your make-up. Dark shades of lipstick kills your soft or natural make-up looks. So always apply light but glowing shades of lipstick too. Lip glosses goes best in this regard. Lip balms with the fruity fresh colors & protein treatment keep your lips healthy and glowing.

By considering all these important points you can straightforwardly enhance your natural beauty through soft make-up.

Doing proper Make-up is not less than making a good sculpture. Make-up is an artistic way to enhance beauty; particularly light/soft make-up improves your natural beauty.

In order to do the nice make-up first of all it is very necessary to know about the maintenance of face features. Currently there are plenty of ways for a perfect make-up; both scientific & artistic. One should know both, for having command on neat make-up art. Other then this you should have knowledge about the make-up cosmetics; as make-up cosmetics or beauty products plays essential role in beautifying you. Do not forget to read the ingredients or other essential information on the make-up products, while buying them. If you are good in selecting/judging quality make-up products then its mean you have won half of the course.

Besides all these precautions, another important point to remember is to select the make-up product according to your environment & atmosphere. Because your skin gets the effects from the environment, so it’s vital to choose the make-up product, which suits your skin and complexion. People with the dry skin should use oil base products and those who have got the oily skin should prefer water base products. The lucky ones with the normal skin type are preferably recommended to use the water base make-up products. Especially for summer make-up most of the beauticians suggest to use water base make-up product, not the oil base.

Also apply the make-up according to your dress, occasion and age particularly; like you can hide your age with the artistic make-up and look younger, similarly heavy make-up will give you older look. So be careful and keep this thing in your mind while applying make-up. There must be difference in day & night time make-up.

By keeping in mind all these essential points, you can be a good make-up artist.
