The cosmetic brands in Pakistan are providing quality product ranges to the masses. The cosmetic brands are famous for their beautiful color cosmetics.

Pakistan has emerged as a huge market for cosmetic brands, both national and international over the past two decades. A number of renowned international cosmetic brands have launched their product ranges in Pakistan. They surely are having a healthy competition in Pakistan. They not only have opened up their outlets but also have contributed a lot in creating awareness about the use and care of cosmetic products in Pakistan.

Having known the market demand, a couple of national cosmetic brands in Pakistan have incorporated and are doing a wonderful job against the international ones. They are catering the Pakistani market in particular, but are also selling their products abroad as well.

Let’s have a look at some of the well-known cosmetic brands in Pakistan and their famous products:

Odho Cosmetics is the most famous cosmetic brand among the national cosmetic brands

in Pakistan. It has been operating in Pakistan for quite some time now and it has made its place in the market. They are known for using Islamically allowed (Halal) ingredients in their products and are offering a wide range of color cosmetics, out of which the most popular are their blush-on and eye shadow kits having a number of shades.

Luscious Cosmetics has entered the Pakistani market lately and has gained a lot of admiration from the masses for their excellent products. They did huge advertising in the beginning and attracted the masses at once. They are mainly famous for the shimmer blush-on range.

Revlon is one of the oldest cosmetic brands in Pakistan. It is operational since decades and is highly admired for the eye-catching shades of their lip sticks and nail polishes.

The Body Shop is another cosmetic brand that has been there for quite some time now. They have their own outlets and offer outstanding cosmetic care products. Along with the others, their famous products are body scrubs and hair care products.

Rumor has it that queen of pop music Lady Gagawill be cutting her US tour short to attend the Royal Wedding evening party.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have askedGaga to wear the notorious see-through dress thatKate modeled back in 2002 for the University of St Andrews charity show. The dress was put auctioned and sold for £78,000 to an anonymous collector. The collector will be loaning Gaga the dress on that special occasion.

Lady Gaga will not only attend the most anticipated event of 2011, but will also perform infront of the 300 lucky guests that were invited to the wedding dinner hosted by Prince Charles.

According to sources, Gaga has dreamt about the royal wedding for quite some time and her ultimate ambition is to entertain royalty.

Guests of the dinner are asked to donate a minimum of £5,000 while they watch the show. This money will be put into the Royal Wedding Gift Charity Fund to support 20 of William and Kate’s most valued small charities across the UK. If all 300 guests do donate the £5,000, then we’re talking about £1.5 million raised in a few hours.

For years women have been putting on makeup, and men have implied that they like the “au naturel” look much better (although flirting with that 20 year old waitress, dripping lip gloss from her lips!). When we don’t wear makeup, they think we look tired or assume we had a bad day at work, and when we do they think it’s too “Barbie”. Well, here’s how you can wear makeup and look natural.

1. Cleanse and tone: these are two of the three pillars of getting perfect skin. Cleansing can be done by a weekly exfoliation and daily wash, while toning (to close up pores) by a face toner. Applying makeup on dull, flaky skin will just look like dirt.

2. Moisturize: the third pillar. Moisturizing helps makeup blend with your skin. I prefer tinted moisturizers because they kind of serve the purpose of the foundation too. The best moisturizer you can buy is one that is tinted; oil free, alcohol free, and with an SPF of at least 30.

3. Eyeliner: Arabs cannot live without Kohl. It’s been in our culture for ages and it beautifully outlines the eyes. To stop your kohl from running, apply Talc powder on your dark circles (which will also cover up the darkness).

4. Blush: with a fish like face, high light your cheek bones with a nude pink blusher. Even if you think you don’t have much on, with a tissue paper, wipe off all the extras in three gentle strokes over the cheek bones.

5. Lip balm: NOT gloss. Lip balm is a perfect way to prevent your lips from ageing, cracking, and chapping. Lip balm that doesn’t have glitter or shine is easy to wear everyday even if it has a slight tint of color.

Too much makeup hides the beauty God gave you, but with the right amount and perfect application, you can highlight God’s gift to you.

Naturalness:  an absolute key word

The year's hair trends are no different. For fashioners in 2011, hair is all about revivals and evolution. With styles and colors we're seeing the best of 2010 reborn, whereas cuts are offering reworked and luxurious revivals of styles that sit perfectly with the year's clothing trends.
 
Shades warm up for fall and winter are deep reds, rich browns and warm tones of blonde. Another hot hair color trend is bold, vibrant shades. Colors like purple, blue, pink, red and green are popular.

Red hair color is an absolute trend for 2011! This hair color is a perfect choice for freckled women to get an adorable look. You can opt for a more natural look or go dramatic with flashy hair coloring. But be very careful as uber bright red hair color will highlight all the possible flaws on your face. Find out which are the most popular shades of the endless red color palette. Pair it with your skin tone as well as features in order to achieve the sight-pleasing effect. Try your hand at the most spectacular color combos and perfect your beauty and hair coloring skills. This last hue looks absolutely amazing and can most definitely make you stand out and give you a more fun, free-spirited, joyful look. Striking red shades are also perfect to perk up your appearance and win the heart of hair style trendsetters with your unique and creative look. Up-to-the-minute hair shades that would furnish you with a chic hairdo for the rest of the year would offer you the chance to choose from the various and mesmerizing red copper tones. Some might keep away of the eye-popping red shades, in this case there's no need to give up your dream of becoming a flirty redhead. Instead make sure you take a glimpse at the ginger red hair color ideas that are some of the most natural and fabulous options to dye your strands.

Blonde hair color is another one popular alternate for 2011 as it enhances the sex appeal. There is such a great variety of blonde shades to choose from and I must admit 2011 is that year when you can get any shade. It means you will be in vogue irrespective of the blonde hair color selected. The choices you can make when it comes to this hair color are: platinum blonde, golden blonde, vanilla blonde, honey blonde, caramel blonde and strawberry blonde. All these blonde shades suit women with a fair or medium fair skin tone so make sure you choose the perfect blonde hair color for you. The only way blonde will look great is if the hair is maintained in a healthy condition and if the hair color is maintained with proper hair color protective products. It's been said than "blondes have more fun" so give this hair color a try and see if this affirmation is true or false.

Brown hair color, suits most skin tones so they are always utterly popular and the 2011 is no exception. There are a great variety of brown hair color shades to choose from depending on what suits your complexion, from dark chocolate brown to light caramel. If you have swarthy or a little bit tanned skin complexion go for a wonderful coffee or taffy brown hair color. A color protective shampoo or a shampoo designed specifically for brown colored hair can help maintain your tresses radiant so do not neglect the needs of your hair if you want your tresses to look luscious.

 

And finally black that is a permanent trend when it comes to hair color. In 2011 black is a great option for women who love this hair shade and which feature a pale as well as subtle tanned skin complexion. This however is not an easy hair color to wear as it doesn't suit everyone, so choose carefully. A simple glossy black hair color can most definitely do wonders for you especially if you have a fair skin tone and blue eyes. The contrast between the hair and skin tone will bring out your eyes and make them look absolutely amazing. Keeping the hair in a healthy condition is a must if you want your hair to have the glossy radiant look that is a definite must.

If you want to give your hair color a little bit of a twist you can opt for very subtle hair highlights or hair paneling using other hair color hues such as purple, lavender, pink, soft red or navy blue.

Use your creativity and hair dyeing skills if you decide to skip the hair salon and do the makeover your own way. And the only thing you should adopt regardless to hair color you've chosen (even if it perfectly suits you) all the efforts would be vain without a proper hair care!

It is very common that females show their best looks and points of strength when expecting to glow in the eyes of important people including friends, social groups and -definitely- a man they care to impress. They spend hours and days picking the best outfit, makeup and accessories in addition to beauty salons hassle and a Hollywood star stuns out there. But once these people are not looking, the beautiful lady fades away and the one in the greasy messy hair, unpolished nails and green socks appears.

Ladies! Beauty and femininity is not just a portrait, it’s a lifestyle and attitude. It is as simple as that: You look in the mirror, find a beautiful lady, you feel content and confident, your behavior responds to the positive feeling and a happy day begins.

Here are simple tips from head to toe:
Hair Keep it clean even if you’re staying home. Use lovely smelling shampoos and make it look nice whether you’re seeing your everyday coworkers or even home alone. For veiled girls, cover your hair don’t ‘cancel’ it, and take care of your hair just as you do if you’re showing it. If you are in a bad mood, head to the beauty salon, get a new hair cut or color and make a new look for yourself.

Face Never leave your face pale or unclean. Use toners, scrubs, facial washes and moisturizers consistently. Little blusher, gloss and an eyeliner can transform your look in seconds so stop being lazy.

Hands: It is proven: hand care is a mood charger. Go do them and enjoy watching them sparkle. If you’ll wait till someone comes and kisses them, you might wait for some time!

Toes: In a season like winter, and with less or no care for your feet hidden in the winter cave called boots, they can be disastrous dry ones with plenty kilograms of additional skin. Put heel Vaseline every day and night, still polish them and believe me, when you push the blanket in the morning and find lovely looking feet, you’ll feel good.

Body and skin: Play sports and be in a detailed good shape even if no one on earth is going to notice any of those tiny abs and thigh muscles you worked hard to get firm. Take care of your skin, use scented shower gels, body lotions and perfumes even at home. 

Going to Bed: The green socks, grey cotton pants and the brown old jumper (probably of your brother!), tell me about it! And please don’t save those amazing nightwear for the honeymoon, because-again-you might wait for some time. In winter, buy cute matching pajamas and wear matching headbands, and still do the same in summer and wear those cute satin night wears. Every day before going to bed take some time to have a quick shower, clean your teeth, clean your face and moisturize it as well as your feet. Extra pampering can include some scented candles at the room before you sleep and plenty of pages to read from a nice book (if you still have any energy to read after a long day). Wake up in the morning to compete the sun with your shine.

At the end, remember, being a lady is a feeling not a look. If you do not value yourself don’t expect anyone else to come and appreciate you, because no one loves or knows you more than yourself. So if someone really deserves to see the prettiest woman you can be, this person is You…
