Do you want to eat croissants, drink coffee, and take silly pictures with your friends near the Eiffel Tower? We don’t always need to go to Paris for that! Sometimes we need to make the most of what we have and enjoy it. We recently went to Bahria Town Eiffel Tower and had our Second Cup coffee there!
The leaves are turning colors, and the hottest fall makeup trends are, too! Gone are the days of this summer’s no-makeup makeup looks. Style leaders are going bold this season, from brows to eyes to lips.
Keeping makeup light for the summer makes a lot of sense. With heat and humidity being a given every time you step outside in some parts of the world, it seems pointless to spend an hour on a full face that you may end up sweating off. But now that the weather is cooler, it’s time to experiment! You won’t have to worry about the heat as you apply these electrifying looks.
Makeup looks are still trending more natural than the baked-on full-face glam looks of the mid-2010’s. Highlighting individual features—a bold brow or a bold lip—is a great way to turn up the volume without going overboard.
Don’t get us wrong—we do still appreciate a good full beat, but for everyday looks, letting your skin breathe a bit can be a great feeling. Try a tinted moisturizer with a concealer for undereye bags, red spots, and blemishes, and build the rest of your look from there.
We turned to beauty experts and celebrity makeup artists as well as makeup lovers who share their looks on social media to scout for these trends.
Below are our nine favorites. We hope you enjoy!
1. Burgundy Lip
Going with a deep lip for the fall has been a go-to for many style icons for several autumns now, and this year is no exception. Something about the deep red screams warm-and-cozy. Here, Megan Fox rocks a cool tone burgundy lip and keeps the rest of her look light and simple to let the bold lip pop.
2. Bright, Lifted Blush
This in-from-the-cold look lifts the cheekbones and makes for a more youthful, energized appearance. Apply blush higher up the cheekbones than you think, and pair with a fire-engine red lip and a simple eye look for an updated take on a classic.
3. Terracotta Eyes
Warm oranges have been all the rage lately. The Naked Petite Heat Palette offers the perfect tones for achieving a look so warm you would swear it’s still summer. Whether you go for a more graphic look like this one or a more subtle, blended look, you’re sure to catch some eyes in this sweet terracotta color.
4. Soapy, Feathered Brows
As you’ll notice in most of these trend-spotting pictures, nearly everybody is rocking a slightly different brow look than the ones we’ve see in previous years. Trendsetters are going for an enhanced natural look, with the brows brushed upwards and gelled to stay that way. Though big, natural brows have been in for a while, you’ll notice that you can see each individual brow hair, a departure from other blocky brow looks.
5. Full Wispy Lashes
One of the best ways to complement any of the looks on this list are with a beautiful set of wispy lashes, like this set from Vibrantz Cosmetics. Full lashes draw attention to the eyes and define the upper line of the eye while making the eyes look larger and more doe-like. Whether the rest of the look is neutral or avant-garde, you can never go wrong by polishing off your look with a lovely set of lashes.
6. Reverse Foxy Eye
Move over, cat eye. The foxy eye is here. By applying a dark winged eyeliner on the undereye line, you’ll achieve this sultry look. The secret: smudging out the line so it blends seamlessly into the rest of the look. It’s the perfect combination of understated and dramatic.
7. Double Graphic Eyeliner
Bold, graphic eyeliner isn’t just for editorial magazine pieces anymore. Makeup lovers all over the world are bringing this exciting new trend to the streets and rocking it during the day and at night. You’ll need a steady hand to achieve this look. Whether you stick with traditional black and white liners or branch out and experiment with bold teals, magentas, and neons, you’ll turn heads as you walk by.
8. Lilac Eyeshadow
If mint green was the color of the summer, lilac is vying for the spot for the color of the fall. This beautiful hue might remind us of spring, so it brings some much-needed vibrancy to the fall months as they start to get dreary. Pairing a pop of bright lavender lilac eyeshadow with a nude lip will bring out your eyes like crazy. Trust us.
9. Black Waterline Liner
The mid-2000s called, and they want their eyeliner back! We’ve missed you, waterline eyeliner. They mean it when they call it the waterline because you might just tear up a little bit as you apply pencil liner to your upper and lower waterlines. But don’t fret! This look is so daring and intriguing that you’ll feel powerful while stepping out.
When choosing a bold makeup trend to try this fall, consider your outfit for the day. Sometimes, pairing a bold eye looks, like the double graphic eyeliner, with a simple outfit made up of mostly staples and basics, can make hitting the streets in a look outside of your comfort zone easier.
You could also try pairing your lilac or terracotta eyeshadow looks with a lilac or terracotta monochrome outfit for a chic, high-fashion vibe. Once you start letting your wardrobe and your styling work together, you’ll be in heaven. We also recommend Vibrantz Cosmetics eyelashes and their products for makeup.
Just a reminder: Take good care of your skin as the air turns colder. Especially dry skin types should maintain a cleansing and moisturizing routine that allows your skin to maintain the same health you enjoyed when the humidity helped keep your skin hydrated. And as always, drink plenty of water!
Intermittent fasting is one of the most popular health and fitness trends. Not only does it help you to lose weight but improves overall health too.
What is Intermittent Fasting?
Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. It doesn’t specify what foods you should be eating rather when you should be eating them.
Intermittent Fasting Methods
•The 16/8 method: It involves restricting your daily eating period to 8 hours and fasting for 16 hours in between. You could either skip breakfast or dinner, according to what suits you.
•Eat-stop-eat: This method involves fasting for 24 hours twice a week, for example by not eating from dinner one day until the dinner next day. It is an advanced method so it’s better if you start off with the 16/8 method first.
•The 5:2 diet: With this method, you consume 500-600 calories on two non-consecutive days of the week but eat normally the other 5 days.
All these methods would help you lose weight by reducing your calorie intake, as long as you’re not eating a lot more during the eating window.
How does Intermittent Fasting affect your body?
Intermittent fasting makes major changes to the hormone levels which facilitate weight loss and increase your metabolic rate.
It lowers the insulin levels in your body, increases the levels of growth hormone and norepinephrine (the fat burning hormone).
Additionally, it makes your immune system strong which helps your body fight inflammation.
Safety and side effects
Intermittent fasting is a very safe way for weight loss if you’re healthy and well-nourished overall. However, initially you may feel weak and your brain might not perform as well as you’re used to. This is temporary and gets fine once your body adapts to the new meal schedule.
If you have any of the following conditions, it’s good to consult your doctor before trying out intermittent fasting:
•Have diabetes
•Have low blood pressure
•Take medications
•Have a history of eating disorders
•Pregnant/breastfeeding
•Have an irregular menstrual cycle
Intermittent fasting works wonders for some people, not others. The best way is to try it out for a while and see how your body responds to this method.

Team Paperazzi recently visited Zainab Salman’s studio nestled between Gulberg’s popular residential area near Firdous Market, a spacious store showcasing a large variety of luxury pret.
Upon entering the studio, we were greeted by the lovely staff who guided us around the single floor studio. Across the studio were many mannequins wearing both old and new collections, alongside racks of beautifully organised outfits. You can tell an organised mind is at work here.
Zainab Salman was on our fashion radar for a while, especially in Ramadan because famous actress Ayeza Khan chooses Zainab Salman each time for her Ramadan transmissions. Who can forget the chemistry between Meenu and Faazi in the famous drama Chupke Chupke with Meenu in a pink outfit being picked up at the gate by Faazi? This year again Ayeza Khan has chosen to wear Zainab’s upcoming collection in Chaudhry and sons.
If the brand is known for one thing, it is ruffles! It seems Zainab loves to add playful ruffles to her dupattas and now in her new collection to sleeves. Another thing that stood out for us is the detailed and delicate work, more along the lines of Karachi designers. Lahore-based designers use a lot of gota and heavy embellishments, but Zainab’s work is on the finer side, more for people who appreciate the detailed thread work and sequins, along with edgier cuts. Her fabric for her summer collection was breathable cotton silk, and it was a refreshing change to see formals that can be worn in the sweltering heat without melting down faster than Will Smith at an Oscar.
Zainab’s magnificent lehnga cholis deserve a special mention. After a long time we have seen a monochrome and all white number that has caught our attention; a stunning black one with an embroidered choli and ruffled lehnga. The other one was a classic white on white one with embroidery and scallop detailing on the edges, we could easily say it is our pick for the upcoming season.
Another standout outfit for Eid was an apple green outfit from her luxury pret collection. The shirt had an embroidered neckline, ruffles on the sleeves, and lace work on the hem paired with matching pants.
There is something for everyone in that studio whether you are looking to wear a classic outfit or step out of your comfort zone! There are very few designers who have it all and give it all, and Zainab Salman is one of them.
Deserts?
What comes to mind when we think about deserts? Hot, blazing, SCORCHING!
We don’t like deserts much due to its scarce resources, dryness and sand dunes.
But, we all like cold deserts with blue skies, strong winds and white granules. Don’t we?
Wait! What? There are no such deserts. But what if there is? YES! There exists such a creation of Allah by the name of “Katpana Desert” or “Sarfaranga Desert” in Skardu which is a cold desert.
Excited to know about that? Let’s start.
World’s highest desert
In Skardu, Gilgit Baltistan, the Katapana Desert is the world’s highest desert. Sand dunes surround the Indus River near Skardu. This desert extends from the Khaplu Valley to Nubra Ladakh, and from the Shigar Skardu Valley to Zanskar, Occupied Kashmir, however the largest desert region is in the Skardu and Shigar valley.
This combination of the colors of the lush plantation, giant mountains, rocky plains, flowing, curvy streams, waterfalls, cloudy skies, and picturesque landscapes is rare to find but still expected. What is really unexpecting then? It is the high desert on the top of mountains. Allah has blessed this wonder only to Pakistan.
Weather Conditions
This cold desert has unbelievably cold nights and sandy views that insists the travelers to visit it. It is marked as the top best deserts of the world to visit.
The average temperature of the desert is about 8 degrees to 26 degrees which can drop as low as -10 degrees at night. We know it’s funny but interesting to say to pack your warmest clothes for a desert expedition but we’re not lying!
