Makeup is an essential part of an actor’s life. Makeup is the demand of the camera. Even if an actor does not want to rely too much on it, they have to because the camera requires them to look a certain way. Over the years, we have seen how our actors have taken their drama looks so seriously. Where a lot of actors do get a backlash for wearing too much makeup and going full-glam even in situations which do not require them to look so well-put together, there are also such actors who go for natural and minimum makeup to make themselves look presentable on-screen.

Pakistani actresses have come a long way and they have groomed themselves a lot. The improvement in Pakistani actresses’ makeup is quite noticeable as well where they use the right kind of products and allow their makeup artists to rely on such techniques that accentuate their beauty to the maximum. There are some actresses who do go for heavier and full coverage looks, which involves a lot of makeup products and steps but it shows that over the years, they have learnt what looks best on them and what kind of makeup they can carry with confidence.

Pakistani actresses’ are often seen playing such characters which demand them to look natural but relying on makeup is subjective.

What do you think about these beautiful actresses and their flawless makeup looks? Share your thoughts.

It is a part of an actor’s job to look beautiful and presentable especially in front of the camera. This is the reason, a lot of actresses pay attention to the way they look and how they create a personality of the characters they are getting to play in a drama. A lot of actresses over the years have evolved and learned what looks good on them in terms of styling, hair, and makeup. Some of the actresses do not really feel comfortable in giving up on their made-up looks and continue to stick to certain looks, however, there are quite a few actresses who have over the years started to rely on minimal makeup. This way, these actresses add a lot of dimension to their performances in the dramas because they get to showcase the actual emotional and mental state of the characters that they are playing. The viewers also find such characters and performances realistic and relatable as the distracting makeup is not in the way which might make one wonder how did the character finds the time to get ready and look this good when she is suffering or probably mourning a loss of someone in a drama.

It is a fact that the overall styling and look adds a lot more value to the character and has a great impact on how it is going to be perceived by the viewers. In this day and age, the audience expects the actors to pay more attention to how realistic their characters are going to appear on-screen. This is one factor that deserves special attention because it is now a norm that in every other drama, the female characters are going to face hardships of life, therefore it is important for an actor to make sure that the styling and overall appeal of the character are in line with their story.

Over the years, a lot of actresses have dropped the idea of looking overly glamorized in dramas. They too have come to a realization that it is quite important to portray the true essence of the character and do justice to it. They have spoken repeatedly about how they now understand that always looking overly made up does not help them in any way especially when it comes to the portrayal of the story or character. It definitely goes to show that it requires a lot of confidence to be comfortable in your skin and to be at your absolute natural state in front of the camera.

Here is the list of those Pakistani actresses who rely on minimal makeup in dramas:

Yumna Zaidi

Yumna Zaidi is one of the finest actresses of the Pakistani drama industry. She is the one who puts her heart and soul into every character that she picks up. However, over the years Yumna Zaidi has shown that she is absolutely comfortable in her skin and doesn’t mind wearing next to no makeup in her dramas, especially the scenes which do not require her to look all dolled up. Yumna Zaidi has played a lot of characters and has shown her range as an actor, but the most endearing aspect of her approach towards her characters it the fact that she always believes in giving it a realistic feel and personality to her characters.

Yumna Zaidi always makes sure that her hair is done properly, even it if just a simple straightening or a few loose curls to add volume to her hair but when it comes to makeup, she relies on minimal makeup such as some hint of color on her cheeks and lips, a subtle glow to her face and mascara on the eyes. She tends to play with the colors that she picks up such as warm tones or pinks and shows that by using such fewer makeup products, she can still look absolutely gorgeous.

Neelam Munir Khan

Neelam Munir Khan has been a part of the Pakistani drama industry for a long time but in recent years she rose to fame and has now started taking up projects as a protagonist. Neelam Munir is a fine actor and she too happens to be one of those few actresses who rely on zero to no makeup in dramas, especially in the scenes which do not demand much from her in terms of makeup and overall glamorous looks.

Neelam Munir has set herself a signature makeup look which consists of very few makeup products such as a pop of color on her cheeks, a hint of color on her lips, and a light shade on her eyes alongside mascara. This completes her look and because she is blessed with porcelain skin, she doesn’t feel the need to go heavy-handed on the foundation or base makeup. Neelam Munir definitely believes in keeping things real in order to do justice to the nature of her character.

Mawra Hocane

Mawra Hocane is another one of those few actresses who do not rely on a lot of makeup in dramas. Mawra Hocane has been selective when it comes to her projects but the characters that she picks up, she makes sure to give them a realistic feel and personality. In general, Mawra Hocane is never seen in heavy makeup and that continues to be the case in her dramas as well.

She is seen in the drama serial Sabaat currently and in almost the entire drama, she has worn absolutely no makeup, this is why in the scenes where she is emotional or crying, there are absolutely no traces of makeup product on her face. Mawra Hocane is confident in her skin and this adds an edge to her performance because a lot of young girls watching her on-screen not only find her characters relatable but also find her inspiring. Time and again, Mawra Hocane has shared how she is a big fan of lip and cheek tints, which she often ends up using on her eyelids as well and it is quite evident in Sabaat that this is exactly what she has worn in the drama to portray the character of Anaya realistically.

Hira Mani

Hira Mani is one of those actresses who solely believe in the power of acting and strong performance. This is the reason, in almost all of her dramas, her styling, clothing, hair and makeup are usually on a simpler side. She likes portraying her characters in such a fashion that makes the viewers feel that they are watching the story of a regular girl unfold on their TV screens. Hira Mani definitely is one of those actresses who feel comfortable in their skin, therefore she really doesn’t feel the need to rely on a lot of makeup. In her real-life events as well as professional projects, she keeps her makeup to an absolute minimum. The only time Hira Mani is seen wearing a lot of makeup is when she is hired for any brand campaign or professional photoshoots. 

In the drama serial Kashf, Hira Mani has stayed true to the essence of this character and because she is shown to have come from a very humble background, she has opted for such hairstyling as well as makeup that actually shows her dynamics and makes a visual impact. In some of the scenes in the drama serial Kashf where she had to wear makeup like on wedding functions of her cousin or sister, even then she showed that due to Kashf’s simple nature, she didn’t really opt for an elaborate makeup look. In a lot of scenes, it is evident that she has worn hardly a few products too because they were the demand for the camera. 

Ushna Shah

Ushna Shah’s styling and makeup have definitely evolved over the years. Ushna Shah has now started relying on very little makeup and because she takes good care of her skin, she understands that she doesn’t need layers of makeup to cover her features. This is why Ushna Shah wears very little makeup which is enough to enhance her beautiful natural features without making her look like a different person.

Ushna Shah definitely is a fan of glowy skin, this is why there is a lot of highlighting done on the high points of her face. It gives her a fresh look and because she has next to no texture on her skin, she carries this look beautifully. Ushna Shah adds a bit of color on her eyelids, some blush on her cheeks, and often goes for glossy lips, which compliment the overall minimal yet glowy face makeup that she opts for.

Saba Qamar

Saba Qamar has definitely made drastic changes in her approach towards makeup. Since she has been a part of the industry for a long time and has worked in a lot of projects, the difference in her makeup and overall styling is evident every step of the way. The fact that she now wears absolutely less makeup and doesn’t even mind giving up on it completely in the scenes where she has to show an emotional ordeal of the character shows how she has matured as an actor.

In one of the interviews, while promoting Cheekh, she made a special mention about how she now chooses to wear lesser makeup because she feels it suits her as well as helps in making her characters look more relatable and appealing to the audience that is watching her dramas.

Sajal Aly

Sajal Aly is one of the most powerful actresses of the Pakistani drama industry. She has been a part of a lot of dramas and has played a variety of characters that have allowed her to showcase her range as an actor. Sajal Aly’s styling when it comes to her characters has evolved a lot and now she is seen giving her characters as realistic a feel and vibe as possible.

Sajal Aly usually gets to portray a certain demographic in a drama, therefore her characters often end up being trendy and chic in terms of styling, this is why it usually is the demand of her character to have a bit of makeup but Sajal Aly makes it obvious that she wears minimal makeup which gives her a little coverage on the face and then the rest of the makeup is more on the matte side. One thing that stays consistent in her makeup routine is the eyeliner which gives her eyes a bit of definition but other than that, it’s more on the natural and minimal side.

Urwa Hocane

Urwa Hocane also has a signature no-makeup look that she sticks to in her real life as well as in her professional projects. Urwa Hocane is blessed with clear skin, therefore she doesn’t feel the need to rely on a lot of makeup for some coverage. Her face makeup is mostly about rosy cheeks, glossy lips, and curled mascara coated lashes. In the drama serial Mushk, Urwa Hocane is seen wearing her signature makeup look which is all about enhancing her natural beauty and adding a bit of color to her lips and cheeks so that she appears more fresh and awake on screen.

Mahira Khan

Although it’s been years that Mahira Khan has not done any project for the TV but a few that she was a part of showed what her approach towards makeup in general was. Mahira Khan has done quite a few projects and right from the beginning, she has stayed true to what she believes the idea of true beauty is. Mahira Khan has never really worn a heavy makeup look in any of her dramas and she absolutely feels comfortable in less makeup.

In some of the scenes where she is not supposed to wear any makeup, she has absolutely no issues because she understands how important it is to portray the characters realistically and not prioritize glamour or makeup over the essence of the scene or the character. Mahira Khan has always relied on enhancing real beauty with minimal usage of makeup. She tends to wear less coverage on her face and adds a bit of mascara and keeps her cheeks and lips looking naturally pink. Mahira Khan was probably one of the first actresses who introduced the no-makeup look and stayed true to it over the years.

This completes the list of all these beautiful actresses who rely on minimal makeup in the dramas. What are your thoughts about their minimal makeup looks? Do you agree that less makeup makes the characters come across a lot more realistic and relatable? Feel free to add in your opinion.

There is no denying the fact that makeup is an essential part of an actress’s life. Makeup not only happens to be the demand of the camera but is one such tool that aids the actors in creating a visual impact of their character right from the moment the drama begins. In recent times, the Pakistani drama audience has seen a shift in the perspective of the actors where they are getting more comfortable with the idea of natural makeup looks. It is also because of the fact that the stories of Pakistani dramas revolve around the lives of people from regular walks of life. A lot more people see themselves in the stories of these characters, which not only resonates with them but also helps in establishing a connection with the character. In this regard, makeup plays a vital role and the responsibility lies on the actors as to how they want to convey and portray the essence of the characters that they are playing.

In recent times, there has been a lot of conversation happening about embracing your true self and it is becoming more about enhancing natural beauty instead of altering your features with the help of makeup. In some cases, heavy and made-up looks happen to be the demand of the character, which is why the glamorous makeup looks suit the dynamic and go well with the situation a character is faced with. However, the majority of the time, women in Pakistani dramas are faced with one calamity after another, which then doesn’t really justify the usage of heavy makeup and elaborate looks. It is also interesting to note that there are a lot more actors who do not feel shy in posting their pictures without makeup on their social media handles, which goes to show that they are very much comfortable in their own skin, therefore one fails to understand why they can’t sport the similar look in the dramas which will add more depth to their character and its portrayal.

Here is the list dedicated to all those Pakistani actresses who can definitely tone down their makeup in the dramas (the list in alphabetical order):

[lwptoc]

Alizeh Shah

Alizeh Shah is one of the young actresses in the Pakistani drama industry. In such a short span of time, she gained a lot of fame and success. There is no denying the fact that her beautiful appearance and screen presence gave her a chance to be a part of some of the mega projects, however, this has been a general consensus about her that she relies a lot on the makeup and doesn’t let go of it even in the situations where her character is facing a lot of hardships and difficulties.

Alizeh Shah tries hard to go for more natural looks but somehow they end up being a bit too elaborate and made up. Due to the fact that she is pretty, she easily carries any kind of makeup but in her case, a little amount of product looks a bit too pronounced on her face, which ends up giving her a very glamorous look. She has been in quite a few plays where she had to cry buckets, her life turned upside down but the one thing that did not budge was her makeup. She can in fact she should definitely tone down her makeup looks to give a more close-to-reality feel to her characters on-screen.

Armeena Rana Khan

Armeena Rana Khan is naturally pretty and she does not need a lot of make-up. She would definitely look even prettier with minimal make-up looks. She has been in the industry for long enough to know what looks good on screen and when someone is going over-the-top. However, in her latest drama Mohabbatein Chahatein she focused entirely on her outlook. She made sure that not only was she sporting heavy make-up looks in this drama but she used as many accessories as she could.

Armeena Rana Khan probably wanted to look as stylish as she possibly could for her comeback play but she looks a little too made-up in all the scenes. Nowadays when all the actresses prefer a smudged eye-liner look Armeena decided to sport an eye-liner look in the drama which was rather intense. Other than that the blending of her foundation wasn’t smooth which resulted in a cakey effect. Mohabbat Ab Nahi Hogi aired some 6 years back but even back then Armeena wore really loud make-up all the time. In the drama serial Daldal as well she did not sport a natural make-up look and right till the end even when her character was going through the worst the make-up was shimmery as usual!

Anoushay Abbasi

Anoushay Abbasi is a phenomenal actress who always made her presence felt right from the time she started acting. It won’t be wrong to say that acting runs in her blood. Her effortless portrayals have always won the viewers over. After taking a long break from television, Anoushay made a comeback last year by playing a small role in the drama serial Mere Pass Tum Ho. She also played the main role in the drama serial Prem Gami and right now she is playing a central role in the hit drama serial Raqs-e-Bismil. She has lost a lot of weight and is focusing on her looks more than ever. When she was acting before she did not concentrate on her wardrobe or make-up but now both these aspects seem to be more important than ever to her.

In the drama serial Prem Gali she was seen wearing tons of make-up even in situations where such heavy make-up completely looked out of place. In Raqs-e-Bismil as well she is seen wearing make-up in those scenes which required a no make-up look. Most of her fans like her for looking natural looks on-screen therefore we hope that she will go back to sporting looks that suit the situations her character is shown in.

Asma Abbas

Asma Abbas is one of the leading actresses of Pakistani dramas in current times. Although she always does supporting characters, due to her undeniable screen presence, she always leaves a long-lasting impression. Asma Abbas’s experience as an actor is unparalleled, therefore it kind of makes it hard to understand why an actor of her stature finds it hard to give up on elaborate makeup looks.

Asma Abbas is also one such actress who plays such characters which are closer to reality, she is always a mother who is either too kind-hearted or even at times has a negative streak in her but one thing that fails to change about her overall appearance is the heavy usage of makeup, which is always quite obvious. It is understandable that due to harsh studio lights, the actors have to carry a certain kind of makeup because it all gets diffused under the lights but Asma Abbas wears layers of makeup which does not even get washed out under such harsh lighting.

Ayesha Gul

Ayesha Gul is another talented actor who usually plays supporting roles in Pakistani dramas. Ayesha Gul definitely knows the kind of treatment her characters deserve, because of which she not only gives impressive performances but also makes quite an impact through her work. However, she is also one of those actresses who despite working in so many dramas, still isn’t comfortable with the idea of opting for natural and subtle makeup looks.

Ayesha Gul’s makeup look is all about layers and layers of foundation, harsh contouring, dark black smokey eyes, and thick dark eyebrows. She often goes for nude lipsticks which may or may not suit her overall look. Ayesha Gul is at that stage of her career where she has established herself as an actor and has proved her craft, therefore she should be more comfortable in keeping her portrayal realistic without opting for such glamorous makeup looks for her characters.

Bushra Ansari

Bushra Ansari is considered a legendary actress who is known for her many talents. Over the years she has impressed her fans with her creativity and effortless acting. Nowadays however she has been concentrating excessively on her make-up and there have been so many times when her make-up looks were too loud and glamorous in different drama serials. In Deewar-e-Shab she did not only support a make-up look that was too loud but the hairpiece she sported made her character look really strange as well. In the drama serial Zebaish there was a great deal of focus on her styling make-up and outfits.

Bushra Ansari does not like it when people criticize her dressing and make-up and she is absolutely right. But, when it comes to portraying a certain character she should at least tone down her make-up in scenes that show that her character is going through hell. Gradually, she has turned into one of those actresses who rely excessively on make-up.

Ghana Ali

Ghana Ali usually plays supporting characters in dramas. Quite often she is the bhabhi or the sister, a rather typical character that can be presented on screen in a simple manner. Ghana Ali however never presents her characters as such because her hair is always sleek and straight, she also makes sure that she sports a complete make-up look with the sharp contouring taking the lead. She usually keeps her lip colors nude so that her make-up look does not look odd but it always does since the make-up is the same irrespective of the character she is playing. She is clearly one of those actresses who are quite conscious about how they look on-screen and hence never tones the make-up down.

Hiba Bukhari

In a short span of time, Hiba Bukhari has become a leading actress in Pakistani dramas. Hiba Bukhari has a huge fan base and is one of the well-reputed and respected celebrities of current times. Hiba Bukhari definitely is a good actor but she has a long way to go when it comes to her grooming. Be it her wardrobe choices, her hairstyling, or even her makeup, she rarely gets it right. Her wardrobe choices are always outdated and boring and her makeup is way too loud.

She is currently seen in the drama serial Fitoor, wherein in the initial episodes she had to cry continuously because of how her family’s reputation was tarnished, but neither her glossy lips nor her smokey eyes budged. The character played by Hiba Bukhari; Dilnasheen is shown to be a college-going student who comes from such a family where her mother is quite strict, she doesn’t approve of overspending and always keeps a check on her daughter’s demeanor, therefore for Dilnasheen to have such a heavy-hand on makeup doesn’t really make much sense. Hiba Bukhari naturally has thick and fuller eyebrows which already frame her face beautifully, therefore she needs to tone down the amount of makeup she uses to give herself a natural and realistic look.

Hina Altaf

Hina Altaf is one such actress who has clearly stated that she hates makeup but because it is a part of her job, she has to wear it. It is perfectly understandable that Hina is not into makeup but we wonder why it doesn’t show in her dramas at all? For someone who is not into a lot of makeup, she should feel a lot more comfortable with the minimal makeup looks but Hina Altaf has recently started wearing a lot more makeup than she used to before.

In the drama serial Kasa e Dil, the character of Soumya has been through a lot but seeing her carrying halo-eyed makeup all the time is pretty unrealistic. Another thing that Hina Altaf must definitely let go of is the tint that she uses which settles in the cracks of her lips and accentuates the dry patches so much, giving her a very bizarre look as if she just chewed a ‘paan’ before shooting the scene. Hina Altaf naturally has fresh spotless skin and she is a fan of lip and cheek tints which she has stated quite a few times, however, she really needs to learn how to use them to her benefit.

Iqra Aziz

Iqra Aziz’s fan following multiplied when she played a complex and rather unusual role in Ranjha Ranjha Kardi. However, she disappointed her fans when she chose to play a run-of-the-mill role in the drama serial Jhooti. This was a commercial drama that got the ratings but was not lauded by the more serious viewers who had huge expectations from the actress. Nowadays, Iqra Aziz is part of two of the most-watched dramas on air right now; Raqeeb Se and Khuda Aur Mohabbat both have viewers’ undivided attention for completely different reasons. However, apart from the fact that Iqra Aziz is now being stereotyped, her make-up seems to be over-the-top in both these dramas. Even in the drama serial Jhooti, from the colored lenses to the perfect makeovers in every single scene, Iqra Aziz’s make-up was a little extra in every single scene.

There is no denying the fact that Iqra Aziz is comfortable in her own skin since she has quite often posted pictures without any make-up at all on Instagram several times. Yet, when it comes to her on-screen appearances she has been constantly seen in make-up which was heavy and looked out of place. In Raqeeb Se, Iqra Aziz’s perfect and polished make-up looks do not go well with her rather uncouth character. In Khuda Aur Mohabbat since generally, there is so much focus on the visuals, there’s no surprise that Iqra Aziz looks picture perfect in every scene. Our make-up artists need to realize that they can easily give Iqra Aziz a no make-up look by avoiding overdoing the eye make-up in particular. We are surprised that a director such as Kashif Nisar allowed Iqra Aziz to wear such polished make-up for such a role. She is the only actress in the drama whose make-up seems out of place. Even though Ameera is fond of wearing make-up but her look is too suave for the role.

Maya Ali

Maya Ali has made a comeback to Pakistani dramas after years and she is currently seen in the drama serial Pehli Si Mohabbat. Maya Ali is quite active on social media and she is one of those few celebrities who do not shy away from posting raw, unfiltered pictures without any makeup. This is one of the most endearing aspects of her social media handle that as a celebrity she sends a message across to her young fans that it is very important to appreciate your natural beauty without relying on makeup or filters all the time. Therefore, it isn’t much to expect her to sport a somewhat basic look in her drama. Although Maya Ali has straight away refused to acknowledge that the character of Rakshi is wearing too much makeup but the audience can very well see the amount of makeup there is on her face.

This has been the point of discussion ever since Pehli Si Mohabbat has begun that Rakshi’s overall makeup look doesn’t really go well with the dynamic of her character. There has not been a single scene in Pehli Si Mohabbat where Maya Ali has not worn shimmery eyeshadows and has given her eyes an accentuated and defined look with the help of transition colors. Her character could’ve done totally fine without the over usage of kajal but sadly it adds a lot more maturity and age to her character than what she is suggested to be. There is quite an obvious and harsh contouring too which Maya didn’t need considering she already has a defined face structure. Maya Ali is definitely comfortable in her natural skin, her numerous pictures are a testimony of that, however, we wish she had projected that in her comeback drama too.

Rabia Butt

Rabia Butt is definitely grabbing the attention and coming into the limelight due to her unique acting style and dialogue delivery. Rabia Butt has been a model therefore she definitely understands makeup and the kind of looks that suit her face. Rabia Butt first got the attention of the audience with her drama Ye Dil Mera in which she played the role of a second wife of Mir Farooq Zaman. She is currently seen in Pehli Si Mohabbat and in both the dramas, she played the role of a woman who was glamorous and was quite attractive to her husband.

In Pehli Si Mohabbat, the character of Nargis probably came from a brothel and is now married to Rakshi’s father. In the initial episodes, her loud makeup actually made a visual impact on the kind of background she belonged to and where she came from but later, she could’ve definitely toned it down considering she was now at a better place and far more content with how her life turned out to be. Although it does define her character, as the episodes are progressing, she could’ve done really well without that much makeup because then her natural beauty would’ve shown through. The overly blended, almost grungy makeup look is definitely not an impressive or pretty look, to say the least.

Ramsha Khan

Ramsha Khan has proved her caliber as an actor and with her recent projects, she has shown what a mature performer and actor she is. Ramsha Khan has become quite famous and now more and more viewers look forward to her dramas. The best part about Ramsha Khan is that she is a natural actor and because of the ease and effortlessness with which she performs her characters, she makes it easier for the audience to relate and build a connection with her characters. However, it would definitely add a lot more depth and dimension to her portrayal if she tones down her makeup and opts for realistic and natural makeup looks.

In most of her dramas, she portrays the hardships young girls face on different fronts in their lives, therefore to see an elaborate eyeliner and eye makeup, almost flawless base, and fluttery eyelashes at all times, doesn’t really go with the situations her characters are faced with. She definitely can give up on makeup because she is naturally very pretty and it will do wonders for her performance on a visual front.

Sanam Jung

Sanam Jung is also one of those actresses who recently made a comeback in dramas. Both the dramas she starred in were highly disappointing and Sanam’s acting also left a lot to be desired. Sanam Jung was always more than comfortable sporting minimal make-up looks in her dramas but now she wears excessive make-up in all her dramas. Even though her character went through the worst phases in Mein Na Janoo but her make-up and styling were never compromised. Not only is her make-up loud but it also makes her look older than her age. Most of the looks Sanam is seen sporting in real life are far more appealing than the ones she has been seen sporting in dramas nowadays. In drama serial Qarar her make-up and styling have not just been OTT but it also does not compliment her features.

Sarah Khan

Sarah Khan is the most sought-after actress in the Pakistani television industry with a massive fan following. She has come a long way since she started her career both in terms of her standing as a performer on screen and her overall outlook. It won’t be wrong to say that out of all the popular actresses, Sarah Khan has truly polished herself the most over the years. She also has beautiful features and skin therefore even a no make-up look suits her but somehow lately Sarah Khan has consciously been part of projects which entail a lot of glamour. There is nothing wrong with that of course but Sarah Khan’s over-emphasizes on her make-up and even dressing is most often a distraction since her characters and even performances don’t stand out as much as her make-up does!

Sarah Khan looked gorgeous in Deewar-e-Shab, Sabaat, and Raqs-e-Bismil but her sharply-drawn eyebrows and ever-present make-up even when it was not needed went to show that she is over-relying on these makeovers. Miraal’s wardrobe and make-up both were sponsored by so many leading brands of the country which does suggest that the producers are also putting in the extra effort to make Sarah look gorgeous on screen. In Raqs-e-Bismil she is constantly seen wearing layers of make-up even in situations where it is not needed. For instance, when Zohra wore the abaya so that she will not be noticed on a public bus and in the university, her eye make-up was enough to grab anyone’s attention. There isn’t a single scene in Raqs-e-Bismil and there wasn’t even a single instance in Sabaat when Sarah Khan sported the kind of make-up look which showed that she was willing to compromise on her styling or make-up. We would love to see Sarah switching to more ‘everyday’ make-up looks in scenes that do not require heavy makeovers.

Shaheen Khan

Shaheen Khan has been a part of the industry for a long time now. She gets to play the roles of mother in Pakistani dramas, sometimes a mother from an educated and modern background or sometimes she comes from a humble little background. However, irrespective of what the dynamics of her family are, she is always well-groomed and wears the most trendy sort of makeup, with smokey smudged eyeliners to pink blushes and the gorgeous shades of nude lipsticks. Shaheen Khan is a gorgeous actress but she can definitely do with a bit of toned-down makeup to at least suit the character that she is playing.

Sohai Ali Abro

Sohai Ali Abro is not seen on screen very often. She is really selective about the roles she takes up and anyone who has watched her perform over the years will agree that when it comes to looking her best on television, Sohai does not make any compromises! Whether the role demands it or not everything about her styling and make-up is always on point. Unlike, some of the other actresses on this list, Sohai has never been seen in a no make-up look in a drama even when she was playing the role of an acid burn victim in the drama serial Surkh Chandni she chose not to go easy on the make-up.

Recently in the drama serial Prem Gali she was shown as a young girl who was not allowed to wear make-up and her mother especially made sure that she went to college without any make-up. Yet, in every single scene, Sohai wore as much make-up as she possibly could. So much so that there were times when her styling and make-up looks changed multiple times in a single episode! Sohai has a cute face and she would look even more attractive and suitable in different roles if she tones down on the make-up. Her pout is always the most conspicuous feature on her face because of how she wears her lipstick. If she feels that she cannot tone down on her make-up then she should choose to play roles that allow her to add such glamour to her looks. But then there are barely any roles that require wearing such heavy make-up all the time.

Sonya Hussyn

Sonya Hussyn is known for her exceptional acting skills right from the time she started performing. Her impressive dialogue delivery and natural performances won the viewers over long before she was the diva she is today. Sonya Hussyn’s styling and make-up underwent a major change a few years back and unlike before nowadays, she focuses a lot on how she looks. In Aisi Hei Tanhai even when her character was critical after being poisoned Sonya Hussyn’s make-up was intact. Her styling and make-up were always unnecessarily loud in drama serials Saraab and Ishq Zah-e-Naseeb.

In her latest drama, Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida Sonya Hussyn made the most of the situations her character was shown in and adopted the lifestyle of the rich class a little too quickly. Even when Ulfat wasn’t rich, Sonya Hussyn always sported a complete make-up look with everything in place. In the drama serial Aangan she made a brief appearance and her look in the initial phases was very filmi! There was a time when Sonya Hussyn was not keen on looking glamorous on-screen but now it is definitely a priority. She is another stunning Pakistani actress who can easily pull off a no make-up look and she can conveniently take her make-up off when needed in dramas yet she prefers working hard on her looks and make-up and chooses not to tone down her make-up even when it is necessary.

Yashma Gill

Yashma Gill has only starred in a handful of dramas and lately, she has been part of some of the most popular dramas. Her personal style can best be described as casual and cute therefore no matter which role she is playing, she always sports such looks. Like most of the actresses on the list Yashma has never been seen sporting harsh contour lines but she always goes overboard with her lip gloss!

In the drama serial Pyar Ke Sadqay her weird anime-like look made her character come across as even more annoying than it already was! Her blush was too heavy, her eyelids were usually tinted with the same shade as her blush and the lip gloss did not compliment this entire look at all. Right now in Phaans she is not wearing a lot of make-up otherwise but the lip gloss is a little too conspicuous as usual. Yashma especially needs to focus on her make-up looks in general because she either needs to tone down or add a little here and there.

Zohreh Amir

Zohreh Amir is mostly seen in supporting characters that too in a few episodes. However, she makes sure that during her short-spanned appearance in the drama, she glams herself up so much that everyone remembers her as a supporting actress who wears layers and layers of makeup. She is also one of those actresses who finds it hard to edit and omit the makeup products she uses in her regular routine.

Although Zohreh definitely has the kind of face and features that can carry heavy and glamorous looks, for a TV drama and especially for a character that isn’t actually adding much to the story, she really takes it a bit too far. High heels, perfectly wavy hairstyles, overly done makeup are some of the main elements one gets to see in the characters played by Zohreh Amir. She is naturally very pretty with unique features, she can definitely do without so much makeup.

Share your views in the comments section. Do you think these actresses should tone down their make-up? Would you add any other actresses to this list.

In this day and age, arts and dramatics have blurred the lines and they serve the purpose of cultural exchange between the countries. In order to understand and learn about the culture and societal norms of any country, the easiest way is to watch the entertainment content produced by it. Films and dramas not only provide entertainment to the local viewers, but it also helps the foreign viewers to build a connection with the country. In this global era and with everything readily and easily available on the internet, the content produced by any country is shared all over the world.

One such country that is producing award-winning content is South Korea. Korean dramas, its music industry is popularly known as K-pop as well as its movies have a massive viewership all over the world. In recent years, the viewership of Korean content has also increased in Pakistan. Although the societal structure and culture of South Korea is unique and very different, the dramas and films make sure to base the plot of the stories and the characters in such a way where one may find them relatable to some extent. The exchange of arts and dramatics also influence the fashion and cosmetic industries in every country. It is because one gets to learn new things every day and tries to incorporate what impresses them the most.

The makeup in Pakistani dramas was always on the heavier side, however in recent years, after experimenting and a lot of trial and errors, Pakistani actresses have come to a conclusion that in order to make their characters seem realistic, they should cut down on makeup and wear such looks that are minimal, fresh and not too cakey. Although some of the actresses have not really given up on the typical Pakistani makeup looks in the dramas, others have veered towards more natural and minimal makeup, which is quite inspired by the Korean makeup that their actresses wear in their dramas.

This by no means is to state that Pakistani actresses are copying Korean actresses, rather just to draw a comparison that too in a positive manner because the influence has been good and it is quite refreshing to see Pakistani actresses wearing lesser amounts of makeup in dramas. The face structures of both Korean and Pakistani actresses are different, their features are unique as well, however, the makeup techniques are pretty much the same and it shows how simple makeup can make one look beautiful too because it helps accentuate the natural beauty.

Korean Makeup Trends

Korean makeup is all about accentuating one’s natural beauty and features. South Korean society is image and beauty conscious, this is why they pay a lot of attention to their skin and do everything possible to maintain their youthful look. Although cosmetic procedures and surgeries have become quite popular in South Korea, it is a fact that those who tend to stay away from such procedures also pay a lot of attention to how they look and their well-being in general.

Korean makeup is mostly about the super pale and glowy face, they tend to wear foundation a couple of shades lighter than their skin tone. They prep their skin and wear luminous foundations with a lot of added shimmery highlighters to achieve that glowy and glass-like skin. Korean eye makeup is mostly about the diffused eyeshades and a very thin eyeliner, which is rarely worn in order to accentuate the natural eye-shape and make it appear elongated and bigger. They keep the eyebrows natural because they have fine eyebrow hair, therefore they don’t really add a lot of product on top of it to make it look sharp.

Another staple in Korean makeup trends is the natural hint of color on cheeks, which is usually achieved by wearing cheek tints. Korean makeup products are not very pigmented, therefore it takes a lot of building up for the color pay off. This is because they like to keep the makeup looking absolutely minimal and natural. Korean actresses mostly wear glossy lip products and they tend to focus it in the center of their lips, once again for the diffused look. They don’t really line their lips and wear pink and red-colored tints for the natural flush of color. In certain cases where they tend to make the eye makeup darker, they make sure to keep it diffused too, this way everything is beautifully blended and not really sharp enough to look unnatural.

Pakistani Makeup Trends

In Pakistani dramas, for the longest period of time, the makeup was heavy and cakey. It was because the makeup artists as well as the producers felt it was the demand of the camera, therefore the makeup artist used to get the briefing of putting extra layers of makeup which would withstand the harsh studio lights and the heat generated by them. Pakistani makeup in dramas was about the heavy foundation, a lot of contours, blush, precisely drawn eyebrows, and also a pair of false eyelashes.

The actresses wore a full face of makeup which included heavy eye-looks and kajal as well. A lot of actresses wore so much makeup that the viewers found it hard to relate to their characters. The Pakistani drama makeup also included different shades of lipsticks. However, after experimenting and understanding the demand of the characters, a lot of actresses have started wearing less makeup, which not only does justice to the dynamic of the character but also to the essence of it and the situations they are faced with.

Here is the list of those Pakistani actresses who are following Korean makeup trends:

Kinza Hashmi

Kinza Hashmi is a young and beautiful Pakistani actress. She has worked for a lot of brands and has worn different kinds of makeup looks in all of her photoshoots. However, when it comes to her personal preference in makeup, as seen in her personal pictures that she posts on Instagram, it is obvious that she is veering towards simpler and fresher makeup looks.

Kinza Hashmi mostly picks pinkier toned shades for her entire face makeup, such as her eyeshades, the blush as well as her lips. She is more into the glowy and natural foundation and likes to wear tints on her cheeks as well as her lips. Her eye looks to keep on changing but she tries to keep them to an absolute minimum too so that her naturally beautiful features are accentuated and she doesn’t look like a completely different makeup. The lesser amount of makeup is definitely looking good on Kinza Hashmi.

Alizeh Shah

When Alizeh Shah joined the drama industry, she was called out for wearing a lot of makeup. Her makeup looks used to be a bit too elaborate for the age of the characters she used to play. Alizeh Shah now gets to play the lead roles but at the beginning of her career, she was always the younger sister who had a love interest of her own. Alizeh Shah slowly understood that she didn’t need so much makeup, therefore she started giving up on the heavy and cakey looks and adapted to the Korean makeup trends which were more about letting her natural beauty shine.

She is into glowy face makeup as well. She also wears a lot of blush which gives her face a youthful look. Alizeh Shah also wears a lot of highlighters to give her that glow-from-within look. In order to make her eyes appear bigger, she wears flesh-toned liner in the waterline – this is also something that some of the Korean actresses do to make their eyes look more open and wide. Alizeh Shah has also veered towards glossier lips, this is why she rarely wears a properly defined lip liner and lipstick. She definitely is carrying this natural and Korean-looking makeup perfectly.

Saniya Shamshad

Although Saniya Shamshad has been out of touch and was last seen in Rishte Biktay Hain, where she wore elaborate makeup looks in almost every scene, in real life Saniya Shamshad has totally changed her makeup preferences and looks cute following the Korean makeup trends. Saniya Shamshad goes heavy-handed with the lip and cheek tints, she also wears a lot of mascara and a foundation which is a couple of shades lighter than her skin-tone. The haircut that Saniya Shamshad is seen carrying in her pictures goes to show that she was definitely and heavily inspired by the Korean style and she carried it beautifully.

Yumna Zaidi

Yumna Zaidi is one of those few actresses who never shied away from wearing absolutely no makeup on camera because she understood it was the demand of her character. However, it also took her a long time to realize that she looked beautiful in lesser makeup, in the beginning when she used to be at the mercy of her makeup artists, she was seen wearing overly heavy makeup which added a lot of age to her.

However, in recent times, Yumna Zaidi has also changed her makeup preferences and is following the Korean makeup look, which is all about extra glowy skin, natural eye makeup look, a blush on the cheek and glossy lips. In her currently on-air drama Raaz e Ulfat, Yumna Zaidi has sported a similar look and in those pictures that she posts on her Instagram, it shows that she enjoys wearing such looks which are all about glowy skin and a natural flush of color on the cheeks and lips.

Saba Qamar

Saba Qamar has gone through a drastic change when it comes to her makeup looks. In her early dramas, Saba Qamar never gave up on Kajal and a heavy foundation. However as the years passed by and she realized how important it was for her to make the characters appear realistic and relatable, she gave up on makeup.

Saba Qamar made sure to mention it in one of her interviews that she now tries to only wear the makeup which looks decent on the camera and any female viewer looking at her can relate to her natural and realistic look. Saba Qamar is mostly about natural and feathered eyebrows, extremely glowy face, and natural touch of blush on her cheeks. She also wears nude lipsticks which almost are similar to her natural lip color. This look is definitely one of the best that Saba Qamar has sported over the years in her dramas.

Sanam Chauhdry

Sanam Chauhdry is known for carrying elaborate makeup looks, it is also because she herself is good at doing her makeup, therefore she makes sure to give herself a different look in each of her dramas. However, it is a fact that none of her looks can be termed as natural. However, in some of her recent Instagram pictures, Sanam Chauhdry carried the Korean look and did justice to it. It is because she likes to play with makeup, it was obvious that she came up with this look and tried the Korean makeup techniques. She even wore her hair in such a fashion that completed her Korean look perfectly.

Iqra Aziz

Iqra Aziz has also come a long way when it comes to her overall hair and makeup looks in dramas. Iqra Aziz has the kind of face that can carry any sort of makeup, be it on the heavier side or a bit on the natural side because she has perfect features as well as beautiful and healthy skin. One thing that’s a signature of her makeup look is the precisely drawn eyebrows because she herself has stated that she has naturally sparse eyebrows. Other than that Iqra Aziz tends to wear a thin layer of foundation, which is enough to make her complexion one toned. Apart from that the rest of her face makeup is on the natural side with a hint of color on both cheeks and lips. She also likes to wear thin eyeliner to accentuate her eye-shape.

Aiman Khan

Aiman Khan also struggled a lot in order to truly figure out what kind of makeup suited her the best. However, she has now understood that she can perfectly carry the natural makeup looks and that has evolved into her signature style. Aiman Khan is also all about the Korean makeup look; which is all about a glowy face. She tends to go heavy-handed on the bronzing to bring more depth to her face but apart from that, her eye looks are natural and diffused, she also wears lip and cheek tint and keeps her lips glossy.

What are your thoughts about the minimal makeup look that Pakistani actresses have now started to carry in recent years? Do you also feel they are inspired by Korean makeup trends? Do you think it is important for Pakistani actresses to wear a minimum amount of makeup, especially in dramas to make their characters seem realistic? Feel free to share your opinion.
