We sat down with Isma Majeed of Depilex and this is what she had to say about the hottest trends of the season:
1. Since the weather is very humid you want to wear a foundation that is water proof and long lasting. Isma loves to use Masarrat Misbah Makeup Silk Foundation. Her other favorites are L'oreal Infallible Foundation and MAC Prolong Wear.

2. Since the makeup tends to bleed due to humidity in this weather, always be sure to set your foundation with a translucent powder. Try using Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder. It is a cult beauty favorite.

3. This season, the 'no makeup look' is all the rage. Skip the blush at all or use an earthly tone. We like to use Odho Cosmetics blusher in Dove which is a nice beige with heavily loaded glitter. Or else use a bronzer to add dimension to your face. Sun-stripping is the natural bronzing technique everyone one is using these days.
4. Avoid using highlighter these days as it can make the face look oily.
5. Since it is a no makeup look, nude lips are the fervor for day makeup. We love to use The Body Shop Color Crush Lipstick in 110. It is a nice peachy nude perfect for everyday wear. Or else try Luscious Cosmetics Super Moisturizing lipstick in Dreams.
6. For evening wear go for a dark lip color. Go for a burgundy, wine or plum.
7. Its all about keeping things subtle for the day. Use a monochromatic nude eye shadow and sweep it across your entire lid.
8. You want to keep the focus on your eye lashes so use a heavy mascara or double coat for prominent lashes. Catrice All Round Mascara is an ultimate favorite.
