The Notepad: Gulali K. Afridi

Trending make-up artist Gulali K. Afridi jots down her season’s favourite beauty products

Mario Badescu, drying lotion



Whenever my skin breaks out, this drying lotion is my saviour. You’ll see the difference overnight. I recommend this to anyone facing breakouts.

Jcat- Beauty, sparkling powder (Champagne)



Jcat glitters have the best formula with absolutely no fall out. It can instantly turn any eye look from basic to glam. It’s definitely great value and price for the quality.

Tarte Shape tape concealer



Tarte shape tape is my all- time favourite concealer. It doesn’t crease or crack, it’s sweat-proof and buildable and very easy to blend. Everyone who still hasn’t found their go-to concealer must try this out. You won’t be disappointed.

Sell out- melted two faced lipstick



This lip colour is absolute perfection. It goes with almost everything and can easily be applied during the day or at night. It comfortably coats the lips with an intense, super-saturated colour that lasts for hours.

NARS Natural Radiant longwear foundation



This is my most favourite foundation, I usually mix this one with other foundations but I never skip it whenever I wear make-up. It’s light on the skin and gives an amazing glow to face.

Huda beauty remastered eyeshadow palette



I don’t think there is any other eyeshadow palette like this; this is literally my go-to palette for all occasions. It consists of beautiful shades of pinks and golds that I use the most in my daily routine, be it for my brides or myself.

Too faced - hangoverXprimer



I love the smell and finish this primer gives to my skin and keeps it hydrated and moisturised.

Kevyn Aucoin sculpting powder



I don’t think I can ever skip contouring. This product gives a very nice and natural look to my face without overdoing the contouring or bronzing.

Urban Decay- all-nighter makeup setting spray



My day doesn’t go by without this setting spray. It really sets my foundation like a dream and keeps it in place all day long.

Lilly lashes in Mykonos



I am obsessed with lashes, and this eyelash set really brings out my eyes. The fact that I have few eyelashes left after I’ve gotten eyelash extensions done multiple times it really suits me. They really complete my eye make-up look, without them I feel incomplete.
