Beauty & Makeup channels with an audience in Pakistan earn an RPM of roughly $1.0 to $2.2 per 1,000 views. That is Pakistan specifically, a large-audience, low-ad-spend market where earnings come from volume rather than rate. RPM is what the creator keeps after YouTube's 45% cut and the views that never saw an ad, so it is the only earnings figure that reflects real take-home pay.
At that rate, one million monthly views from Pakistani viewers works out to roughly $960 to $2,240 (about ₨266,900 to ₨622,700) per month from ads alone, before any sponsorship or affiliate income. That is about 16% of what the same channel would earn from a US audience, because the local ad market pays less per view. Use the calculator below to estimate your own channel.

Audience country sets the ad rate. A beauty & makeup view from a Pakistani viewer is worth roughly 16% of the same view from a US viewer, because a large-audience, low-ad-spend market where earnings come from volume rather than rate.
The real money sits past AdSense. Established Pakistani beauty & makeup creators lean on brand sponsorships and affiliate storefronts, which dwarf ad income, which is priced on audience and niche rather than on the local ad rate.
A global audience is the multiplier. A Pakistani beauty & makeup channel that pulls even a third of its views from the US, UK, Canada and Australia can lift its blended RPM several times over.
Niche stacks on top of country. Beauty & Makeup pays more than entertainment or comedy in every market, so a Pakistani beauty & makeup channel out-earns a Pakistani vlog of the same size.

Same beauty & makeup content, different audience country. The RPM gap is driven by local advertiser spend, not by the channel.

A beauty & makeup channel with a Pakistani audience typically earns an RPM of $1.0 to $2.2 per 1,000 views, or roughly ₨267 to ₨623 in local terms, which is what you keep after YouTube's 45% cut and un-monetised views. One million monthly views works out to roughly $960 to $2,240 (about ₨266,900 to ₨622,700) a month from ads alone.
It comes down to local advertiser spend. Pakistan is a large-audience, low-ad-spend market where earnings come from volume rather than rate. Brands there pay less per 1,000 impressions than US or UK brands, so the same beauty & makeup video earns less per view even though the audience is just as engaged.
AdSense pays in US dollars and your Pakistani bank converts to rupees, so the ₨ total depends on the USD/PKR rate. Payout clears after $100, and filing US tax info avoids extra withholding on US views. The RPM figures on this page are the US-dollar amounts AdSense reports, which your bank converts to PKR, so the local total moves a little with the exchange rate.
YouTube income is taxable in Pakistan, though registered IT / freelance exporters have historically enjoyed concessional treatment, so it is worth filing as a documented exporter of services. This is general information, not tax advice, so check your own situation with a local accountant once the channel earns real money.
At a Pakistani RPM of $1.0 to $2.2, one million views earns roughly $960 to $2,240 (about ₨266,900 to ₨622,700) from ads. Sponsorships and affiliates usually add more on top, and in a lower-RPM market like this one those extra streams often matter more than the ad revenue.
Within beauty & makeup, skincare routines and product reviews command the highest ad rates because advertisers in those categories bid the most, and that holds in Pakistan just as it does elsewhere. Pair that with mid-roll ads on 8-minute-plus videos to lift RPM further.
Most serious beauty & makeup creators in Pakistan earn more from brand sponsorships and affiliate storefronts, which dwarf ad income than from AdSense. This matters even more in a lower-RPM market, where the ad rate alone is thin, and a brand deal is priced on audience and niche, not on the local ad rate.
