Nadia Hussain may be a decorated in Pakistan’s beauty business, but it looks like she’s still trying to keep it real.

In a recent Instagram post, Nadia Hussain is following in Cindy Crawford’s steps by posting a #wokeupthisway challenge looking-esk picture and challenging actors Mahira Khan, Sajal Aly, Ayesha Omar and Mawra Hocane to post a photo of their morning aka ‘no make-up’ faces, like she has.

In the caption of this post, Nadia explains how she felt the need to encourage her followers to focus on ‘real beauty’ rather than ‘perfect beauty’.

“Social media is a powerful tool where you’re in charge of what, where, when and how you want to present yourself to the world. And of course we all want to present perfection – who doesn’t love a good filter? But why do we think posting our authentic, real self is somehow not lovable enough, it’s time to wake up. Your true YOU is the bomb,” she expressed on social media.

Nadia got many positive responses in the form of comments, one of which was from a follower who had been trying to come to terms with her body changes since she became a mother.

On the other hand, Nadia’s post also got a lot of criticism due to her rare no make-up look. Nadia, however, didn’t hesitate to name and shame the ‘haters’.

Here’s to hoping that Nadia’s post brings a positive impact to many people’s thinking.
