NYX Professional Makeup SMUSHY MATTE LIP BALM

I usually wear simple shalwar kameez to work, and this balm suits that vibe perfectly. It doesn’t look too Western or bold, just neat and polished.

As a young mom running after kids, I don’t have time for full glam. One swipe of this and I look fresh for school pick-up and quick market runs.

Normally my matte lipsticks start cracking by afternoon, but this stays soft. I can comfortably wear it from Fajr to Asr on busy days.

It gives an expensive look without breaking the pocket, which is important when you’re living on pocket money. I use it almost every day for class.

The light fragrance feels fun but not too strong like some imported products. Even my mother liked the colour on my lips during a family dawat.
