Hey everyone ! Finding the right moisturizer for oily skin can sometimes become quite frustrating, because either the moisturizer is too heavy that it makes you look like an oil slick or it is comedogenic and causes breakouts so I am here to help you find the right moisturizer for your oily skin as which won't clog your pores and provide just the right amount of moisture that your skin needs. So here are my top favourite moisturizers for oily skin that are easily available in Pakistan too!

Happy friday everyone ! Today I will be listing some affordable dupes of Kylie Jenner's lip kits which are so popular in the makeup and beauty world by now and everyone wants to try them. So I came to know about Kylie Jenner's lip kits from her own instagram account and then saw everyone on youtube raving about these kits. I instantly fell in love with the colors as soon as I saw them. These colors are so on trend right now and I really wanted to get my hands on these kits because suprisingly they were not as expensive as I thought they might be, but unfortunately they got sold out in 10 minutes !

But unfortunately this brand was not available in Pakistan before so I had to order it online but guess what ? The balm cosmetics are now available in Pakistan too ! I was extremely happy when I heard this news. So I decided to make a list of my top 5 and the most favourite products from the balm cosmetics which are a MUST HAVE for me ! Bahama Mama Bronzer This bronzer is THE PERFECT bronzing and contouring product especially for desi skintones. It does have grey undertones which makes it ideal for contouring too.

This product is my top favourite and is a must have for that bronzed sculpted face and killer cheekbones !     Mary lou Manizer This highlighter is the bomb.c...

Color correcting is a technique that involves using different shades of correctors to even out your skin tone and it can do wonders for you if you do it the right way. Though it can be a little scary to think of applying green or orange corrector on your face but always remember that it is just a corrector and it will make your skin look flawless once it is covered with a concealer that matches your skintone. Now the first step to color correcting is knowing where to place different colors. There are mostly 4 shades available green, purple, orange and yellow. The ones that I frequently use are green and orange. Now lets talk about these colors seperately and know where to place them so that you can achieve a flawless complexion.
