Women in rural areas of Pakistan have admirable hand embroidery skills. The quality of their work is excellent, but unfortunately they have to sell their work on very low prices, as these women are not aware of the market rates in big cities. These women work hard and help their men, to make an increase in the income as to support their family. Women in our villages also not get proper information about the trends and designs of the clothes exhibited in urban areas of the country, but still the Multani, Sindhi, Balochi etc embroidered clothes are famous among women and young girls of Pakistan.

. Girls are trying to relax


People of Pakistan used to enjoy the moderate weather just a few years ago. Global warming has now changed the climate not only in Pakistan, but throughout the world. This year the intense heat wave has hit Sindh and its surrounding locations, setting the hottest temprature in the history of South Asia. The extremely hot weather also kills a number of people in different parts of the country. The worst case scenario in the coutry is that the people have to face electricity load shedding for many hours. This situation has now become unacceptable and unbearable for the people of Pakistan. Pakistani girls are also suffering in this agonizing situation. The schools and colleges are closed for summer holidays these days. Girls are trying to relax at their houses.

Sania Mirza becomes a Pakistani girl

Sania Mirza becomes a Pakistani girl
 Pakistan’s favourite daughter in law, Sania Mirza has created a sensation the likes of which hasn’t been experienced in the region since the celebrated wedding of Imran Khan and Jemima. By choosing to marry small town cricket captain Shoaib Malik, Sania has effectively given the boot to over half a billion of her male compatriots in India. With jealousies simmering on both sides of the border – although more so on the eastern side – this relationship promises to be a explosive affair indeed.
Sania Mirza shocked millions of Indian men as she announced her decision to marry Shoaib Malik. The couple have decided to settle in Dubai afterwards, a wise decision given the now manifest tendency of the Indian establishment to play wedding spoiler, Bollywood style and all. As the public awaits with bated breath the possibility of an actual wedding – or otherwise – pent-up emotions on both sides of the border rise with each passing moment.

Pakistani Dulhan Bridal Makeup Tips

    * Even if you are getting your makeup professionally applied, do not put aside your wedding makeup to the wedding day. Have a trial session to check out the colour scheme and overall look.
    * Get your facials done one week before the wedding.
    * For a resistant blushing, experts recommend a powder based blush.
    * Use a very resistant lipstick as you will kiss a lot of people. Make sure it fits your eye and hair color, same as the lip liner. For a longer durability, use balm, lacquer or primer, and apply the lipstick with a lip brush. Apply two layers for better resistance.
    * Avoid pink tone foundation. It will make your face appear pale in photographs. Also when you apply foundation make sure you apply in all exposed areas , that is your neck, hand and back. For an oily skin choose a matte foundation that is water based.
    * While applying make-up, blend it well. Make sure there is no visible lines. In case you are using translucent powder, for a long-lasting make-up, avoid patting too much as it will make your skin look dry and flaky.
    * For more natural look avoid applying any makeup to your brows. Apply the eye colour and a neutral shadow after putting on shadow primer.
    * For brightening the eyelids, use an eye shadow base.
    * Apply two layers of waterproof mascara, having few seconds pause between, to avoid smudging Make sure you use smudge proof eye makeup. Wedding ceremonies take a longer time and you might rub the eyes accidentally. Eye shadow should compliment your skin tone and the outfit your wear. Use eyelashes for a dramatic look.
    * Avoid bright and neon colours as they make your skin look ashy. The best bet for your makeup in the big day is to choose a neutral or true color
    * After a complete makeup, dust a little face powder as it will help the make up stay longer.
    * A badly chosen hair ornament will make you look like an un-cropped tree. Ask your hair stylist for a rehearsal before your wedding to make sure you do not look too festive. A very tight bun will result in stiff neck.
    * Do use a bronzing powder to warm your skin tone.
    * When choosing a fragrance for your wedding day, wear one of your favourites. This is no time for surprises! Layer the perfume to create a magical aura of scented pleasure.
