Hello! I am Rifat Yasin, a 24-year-old beauty blogger from India. I started The Beauty Wonk in 2018 right before I was about to graduate from college. I had no idea how things worked in the blogging industry or what I should do to “grow”. My only purpose was to help men and women find unbiased reviews and tips to up their makeup & skincare game.
I am a firm believer of a simple, minimalist skincare routine that’s backed by science. Makeup is another world for me, the world of colors, and textures that help me bring out my creative side.
It’s been a few years since I started this blog and interacting with so many people from all over the world has helped me grow as a person. Connecting with the beauty industry, which is known to encash on people’s insecurities, has actually made me the most confident I’ve ever been.
random Facts About Me:
- When I was a teenager, I wanted lighter skin owing to the fair skin obsession in South Asia. But now I have become much more confident with my skin colour. To be honest, I love my complexion now! Also, I don’t run after “flawless” or “spotless” skin anymore. For me, what’s important is to have healthy skin.
- I fall sick every time I travel and it’s probably the reason I don’t love travelling. Some call me a hypocrite for this because I end up taking at least two vacations every year!
- I adore animals and cats are my forever love. I do love dogs but I’m too scared of going near them. Most of them just bark non-stop and bite me! *I just want to be loved, doggos!*
- In 2018, I finished my Bachelors in Electrical Engineering and I did fairly well in college (topped my class) but my heart was never there. It’s something I did because I thought I had to.
- I love the beauty world and the art of content creation. I am always overflowing with ideas and I rarely fail to execute them. I might delay them, though.
- Trying new things is how I keep myself busy. New course? New skill? New information? New trend? Sign me up for everything!
- My friends and followers (on Instagram) say I’m really funny and I think I agree with them!
Let’s be friends!

![It's a month of sunscreen reviews, isn't it? Let's do a review of @thefaceshopindia_official Sunscreens [Collab]
🌞 SUPER ACTIVE SUN CREAM🌞
(Hybrid type. Filters - Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, Zinc oxide, Titanium dioxide. Also has Glycerine, Niacinamide & Licorice extracts)
As soon as you apply it, the white cast will scare you but leave it untouched for 5 minutes and it disappears on my skin tone (2 fingers on face).
It is moisturising but doesn't feel heavy for my oily skin so I dust some powder and we're good. And it actually IS water resistant!
🌞 NO SHINE SUN PRIMER🌞
(Hybrid type. Filters - Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, Zinc oxide, Titanium dioxide, Iron oxides)
Texture and finish-wise this is every oily skin person's dream - so silky and matte. And it feels super lightweight. But it gives me a white cast! (in just 1 finger)😭
The pilling is minimal, just gets stuck in brows. Will only suit light skins. It also doesn't entirely rub off with sweat but not completely sweat proof either.
*Both contain fragrance & essential oils. Which one do you want to try? I'm into the super active variant! #thefaceshopindia
Current offer on their site: Upto 15% off + shop for Rs.999 and choose a full-size FaceShop Cleanser for free.](https://thebeautywonk.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
