Recently seen more and more throughout South Asia, and now further afield, the brand, Masarrat Misbah Makeup, is making its mark in the beauty industry, and one of the most popular products is the Masarrat Misbah Silk Foundation.
With promises of a lightweight, flawless, smooth matte finish, this foundation is something that for make-up lovers and professionals alike ticks a lot of boxes and hits high notes! Let us break down traits that set it apart in an already saturated space!
Pioneering beauty
Masarrat Misbah isn't just a pretty name on a product. The name Masarrat Misbah is of a Pakistani beautician, entrepreneur and philanthropist, to name a few, and is very well known for her work in the beauty industry and advocacy support in relation to medical treatment priorities for survivors of acid attacks, through her own charity - the Depilex SmileAgain Foundation.
With a number of great products under the banner of Masarrat Misbah Makeup, this is Pakistan's first Halal-certified make-up line. In simple terms, any ingredients used in all of their products do not contain any alcohol, animal ingredients or other non-Halal ingredients, and for consumers on a Halal cosmetic journey, this is often the deciding factor!
3. A Matte Finish That will not Dry you Out
One of the biggest cons of matte foundations is that they can bring out dry patches, fine lines or leave your skin starving for hydration. This is not true of Masarrat Misbah Silk Foundation.
With a silky texture and hydrating formulation, it sits nicely in between: control the shine without stripping your skin of its moisture. The result is a soft matte finish that looks fresh all day without cracking or fading.
It is particularly desirable by:
Oily and Combination skin types (due to oil controlling properties)
Normal to Dry skin (when paired with a hydrating primer)
South Asian skin tones (due to a thoughtful shade range)
4. Made for South Asian Skin Tones
One of the most common pain points for makeup users in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and surrounding countries is finding a shade that does not appear ashy, gray or mismatched. Masarrat Misbah Silk Foundation solves that dilemma by offering warm, golden, olive and neutral undertones that actually work for South Asian skin tones. Shades such as:
Ivory (for fair skin with neutral undertone)
Almond (a best seller for light-medium range)
Beige and Walnut
5. Long-Lasting Durability
Due to the humidity of Pakistan, foundation wear is often a problem for makeup. Sweat, oil, and dirt all contribute to breaking down the foundation quickly, especially in the cases of weddings and outside events.
The Silk Foundation is designed to be long-wearing in the heat and sweat it often encounters regardless of the season, which means the absolute best application on the hottest of summer days as well as any event-oriented evening. With the added bonus of a good setting spray, the longevity of the Silk Foundation can be extended even further.
6. Suitable for Sensitive Skin
Halal certification means this foundation is also free from damaging chemical compounds and alcohol, the latter being the primary irritant for sensitive and acne-prone skin. The formula is:
Non-comedogenic (clogs no pores).Fragrance-free.Dermatologically tested.These functions are important to sensitive and breakout-prone skin types.7. Best Application for This Foundation
