Is your calendar packed with mehndis, barats, and walimas this wedding season? You’re not alone! Shaadi season in Pakistan is all about glam, glitter, and looking your absolute best without breaking the bank or spending hours in front of the mirror.
But let’s be honest…
With the rising cost of makeup (and life in general 😅), who has the budget or the time for 10+ makeup products every time there’s a new event?
What if I told you that you can create stunning shaadi season makeup looks with just 5 essential products? Yup, just five! And no, I’m not talking about looking basic, I mean full-on glam, photogenic, desi-diva-level beauty.
Let’s dive in, shall we?
You might be thinking: “But won’t I look underdressed or too simple with just 5 products?”
Trust me, you won’t.
Pakistani weddings are all about confidence, creativity, and bringing out your natural beauty. You don’t need 20-step tutorials to shine. You just need the right products and a little know-how.
This is your skin’s best friend. A good BB cream or lightweight foundation evens out your skin tone and gives you that glowy, filtered-in-real-life look.
Tip: Go for something with medium coverage that can be built up or toned down depending on the event.
Recommended For Pakistani Skin Tones:
🎯 Use it for: Smooth, glowing skin that lasts all night even through those dholki dances!
A rich black kajal or gel liner is a must for Pakistani makeup. Whether you like a bold wing, soft smudge, or tightlined drama, this little pencil does wonders.
Tip: Use it as eyeliner, and smudge a little on your lower lash line for that classic desi smoky eye.
Local Favorite:
🎯 Use it for: Defining your eyes and making them pop in wedding photos.
Tints are a game-changer. A rosy tint on your cheeks and lips can instantly brighten your whole face. Plus, it looks fresh and natural, perfect for daytime mehndis and nikkahs.
Pro Tip: Dab it on your eyelids too for a monochrome glam look!
Popular Picks:
🎯 Use it for: A natural flush and long-lasting color that won’t budge even if you’re sweating in that jora.
Want to fake 8 hours of sleep or add instant glamour? Mascara is your girl. A few swipes can open up your eyes and make you look fresh and awake even after shaadi season late nights.
Budget Friendly & Good Quality:
🎯 Use it for: Big, fluttery lashes that complete your look.
We all want that “glow-from-within” look, especially at night events like barats or walimas. A soft gold highlighter on your cheekbones, brow bone, and even your eyelids gives that effortless glam.
Multi-Purpose Options:
🎯 Use it for: That dewy glow that catches the light and makes your skin look lit-from-within.
Pro Tip: Pair with a bright jora and jhumkas for that “I woke up like this” vibe.
Pro Tip: Add a pair of fake lashes if you have them, or layer your mascara!
Pro Tip: Go for pastel outfits and soft waves in your hair, dreamy!
You don’t need to shop at Sephora to slay shaadi season. Just pick:
Put these in a small pouch and you’re always ready. Even if the next event comes last minute (which they always do, let’s be real!).
So now tell me which of these looks are you most excited to try?
Do you already have some of these products in your stash?
