Zahra Raza: Preppy in peach

Zahra Raza, model and entrepreneur behind L’atelier, is sporting a cool look for hot summer.

Make-up

Zahra Raza, model and entrepreneur behind L’atelier, is sporting the nude make-up look which was a smart choice considering the humidity and heat of summer. She has a fresh pink hue on her cheeks that’s giving her a soft belle blush. Try Luscious Powder Blush made with multi-toned pigments and light-reflecting shimmer. Her eyes stand out with a beautiful fine line of eyeliner which subtly enhances her eyes. To get the precise application try Luscious Catwalk liquid eyeliner. And to finish off the look she has used a nude lipstick to blend right in with the rest.

Hair

Zahra has gone for the elegant and ever so reliable half up and half down look. Her hair is pulled back from the forehead and the rest has been left down with her natural slight wave. To get this look simply make a half ponytail.

Accessories

The outfit is held together with a simple yet sophisticated brown belt. The brown and nudes blend so perfectly with the vibrant pink, white and yellow. Zahra has made sure to not overdo it by only wearing a simple leather wrist watch.

Outfit

Zahra is wearing a sleeveless shirt from SILK by Fawad Khan. The shirt is the perfect blouse for the summer, the mixture of innocence and radiance. It is paired with a lovely pair of coral pink skinny jeans that show off a picture-perfect figure and are right in trend for this season. This tunic from SILK by Fawad Khan can be worn long to just below the knees if bought off the rack or then tucked in like Zahra has for a more streamlined look. The best thing about the tunic is that it can be used as casual wear paired with bold colours or it can be used as a formal wear with classy accessories.  This tunic is available for purchase at Rs7,000 at PFDC Mall One Lahore, ONE by Ensemble in Karachi and L’atelier in Islamabad.

Shoes

The nude wedges worn by Zahra are a definite must have. They offset her coral pants and white cream blouse perfectly and you can easily wear a pair of nude wedges or heels to both formal and casual occasions! Look for similar colour and designs at all Samia & Azmay Shahzada outlets in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad ranging from Rs2,500 to somewhere around Rs9,000.
