Hi Beauties!

Every other day we read about harmful chemicals used in makeup products and how they breed diseases in humans. So many medical cases have sprung forward where the use of makeup has led to harm to human bodies. Be it in the form of allergies or resulting in surgeries. As a result more and more research is being conducted to make cosmetics chemical free and organic as much as possible. As a Muslim, we also need to ensure there are no haram products in the cosmetics we consume. There is a widespread concept that intake of haram items is not allowed in the form of eatables. Its true we do not eat make up but in any case we expose ourselves to haram ingredients by using them. For example, there are certain lipsticks we use, they contain crushed beetles of a particular kind, no matter how much we prevent, I am sure there is a certain intake of lipstick into our system by unconscious licking or biting the lips. Similarly the makeup applied onto the skin absorbs into our pores and thats how the harmful chemicals make their way into our system.

Halal Makeup is becoming quite the trend now and is gaining popularity among the Muslim women massively. Almost 2 months back I received the privilege to attend the launch party of newly launched Halal makeup range by the very famous and well recognized Masarrat Misbah. She is one of the pioneers and trend setters in the makeup industry of Pakistan. I remember growing up to the one well-known salon name; Depilex. Not limited to just makeup industry she is an active philanthropist who has her own organization to help female victims of acid attacks by housing them, training them and enabling them to be a part of the community again. It is much to my pleasure to know that she has launched her own makeup brand in Pakistan that too a halal one by the name of Masarrat Misbah, (MM). Here are some shots from the launch party. Hope you will enjoy them and be a part of it as much as I was.
