Looks You Can Wear This Eid 2021

Since Eid is right around the corner, I thought why not give my girls some ideas of how you can look BANGINGGG and beat the heat, since eid is in the summertime again. Eid is a busy day for most of us. Not only does it call for being on your toes than usual, getting dressed up and doing all of the work adds more to the hassle. But do not worry. I listed some looks that are easy to achieve, consume less time and assures you look your best. They’re simple and are going to make sure you look selfie-ready and cute.

Look 1: Edgy, but Simple.

For the Face:
1. Start by moisturizing your face with a light moisturizer meant for your face. Wait for five to six minutes so it sinks into your skin well. Then take a blob of your sunscreen and smear it on your entire face, not forgetting your neck.
You guys, this step is crucial even if you have oily skin. It helps your foundation to glide on better and makes your makeup stay on for longer.
2. Put on your primer if you want to. Or you can just start with your foundation. Blend it all nicely either with a kabuki brush, a sponge or your fingers. Don’t forget the neck. Then put on a concealer if you wish to and have imperfections to cover.
3. Finish off with a powder to soak up grease on your face. Remember, this also increases the longevity of your makeup. Concentrate this product on your T-zone (which is your forehead, down the bridge of your nose and the chin) because they tend to be the oiliest.
4. Prime your eyelids if you want to. This makes sure your eyeshadow lasts. Powder on top of concealer works fine too.
5. Take a medium brown coloured shadow on a fluffy brush and start blending it into the crease. This defines the shape of your eyes.
6. Next, take a black eyeliner of your choice and start drawing a thin line on your lashline. Now flick the line out directing towards the tail of your eyebrow. But make sure it isn’t touching it. Connect that flick with the line on the lashline. Fill into the triangle that you’ve made. You’ll end up with a winged eyeliner look.
7. Put loads of black mascara onto the top and bottom lashes. Two coats are enough.
8. Darken and define your eyebrows with the product of your choice. An eyebrow pencil, a dark brown eyeshadow or an eyebrow gel, anything works. But make sure you don’t skip this step. Your eyebrows are the frames to your eyes. They have to be on fleek!
9. Put on a little bit of blush on the apples of your cheeks. A muted pink or a nice corally peach would be awesome for daytime. Just make sure it’s not too overpowering.
9. Highlight. It ends up looking amazing in pictures, reflects light and looks like you’re glowing. Put it onto the tops of your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose, your cupid’s bow and a tiny bit on the chin and the forehead.
10. Finish off by applying a lip colour of your choice. I’d suggest you go with a soft pink or peach colour so that the eyes are the focal point. And you are done.

For the Hair: Sleek, Straight Hair

Since this is an edgy look, we’d keep the hair looking a bit non-girly too. Sonam Kapoor and Kendall Jenner seem to be rocking this hairstyle on the red carpet. The good thing is that it’s very simple and super achievable too.
1. Make sure your hair is dry. Take a pea-sized amount of hair serum and smear it down your hair strands. Put a heat protectant of your choice and brush your hair gently to detangle and smoothen it.
2. Straighten your hair in sections with your hair straightener. Make sure the heat setting isn’t too high that your hair gets burnt.
3. Once you’ve done straightening, part your hair onto the middle. You may use a tail comb or a pencil to be extra sure that your parting is straight.
4. Tuck the frontal section of your hair behind your ears and pin it into place near the nape of your neck so that it is concealed.
5. Brush the rest of your hair and finish with a glossing spray to add shine.

I’d suggest you could try this look if you’re wearing a pastel coloured dress. This adds just the right amount of statement and swish to your otherwise subtle appearance.

Look 2: Fresh and Dewy

For the Face:
1. Start with a clean face. Dab on some sunscreen and wait for a few minutes.
2. Take a dime-sized amount of your light moisturizer and a thick blob of your liquid foundation and mix them at the back of your hand. Blend it all over your face and neck.
This sheers out your foundation and gives you a healthy, skin-like finish.
3. Correct and conceal your problem areas. Make sure it’s nicely blended.
4. Put a little bit of powder over your entire face to eliminate shine with a big, fluffy face brush.
5. Dab on a little bit of a shimmery champagne coloured eyeshadow onto the centre of your eyelid, into the inner corners of your eyes and onto the browbone. Then put a medium brown into the crease making sure it looks nice and blended.
6. Take a dark brown or black eyeliner pencil and draw a thin line onto your upper lashline. Then taking that same coloured eyeshadow, smudge that eyeliner for a softer eye look. With a white or flesh-toned pencil, colour into your waterline. This gives you an appearance of bigger and brighter eyes.
7. Put loads of volumising mascara onto the upper and lower lashes.
8. Darken and define your eyebrows.
9. Do the slightest bit of contouring with a natural, matte brown colour beneath your cheekbones, onto the temples and down to your jawline. Think of it this way; you’re​ making an E on one side of your face and a 3 on the other side.
10. Put a light blush.
11. Go a tad bit overboard with the highlighter. Use a rose-gold or a super champagne coloured highlighter on the highest points of your face.
12. Dab on a soft, nude coloured lip stain/stick and blot on a tissue to remove any excess.
13. Finish off with a finishing spray. You can even use rose water if you don’t have one. This adds to the glow and sheen.

For the hair: Big, Bouncy Waves

1. Make sure your hair is completely dry. Spray on a thermal protectant.
2. Tie your hair into a very high ponytail at the top of your head. Brush the ponytail smooth.
3. Use your curling tongs/wand/iron to curl large sections of your hair.
4. Spray a good holding hairspray all over.
5. Take the elastic band off and you’ll end up with really pretty, old Hollywood, loose waves. Brush them with a wide-toothed comb.
This is my favourite way of curling my hair if I’m running outta time. And the results are pretty dope.

I’d suggest you pair this lookup with probably a plain, non-glitzy kind of dress. The luminosity on the skin will surely compliment the simplicity of your attire.

Look 3: Bright and Beautiful

1. Do step 1-5 of Look #1.
2. Then swipe a gold eyeshadow all over your lid to the socket. Put a white eyeliner into the waterline.
3. Finish off the eyes with tonnes of mascara on the top and bottom lashes.
4. Shape and sculpt your eyebrows.
5. Dab a little bit of a neutral blush colour onto your cheeks.
6. Line your lips with a lipliner and also fill them in. Put on the bold coloured lipstick as per your liking. It can be a brick-red, Fuschia, burgundy or wine colour. Anything that your heart desires. Blot your lips on tissue paper and you’re done.

For the hair: Sleek Top-Knot

1. Grab all your hair into a high ponytail making sure you have no bumps or flyaways.
2. Insert a hair doughnut or simply start twisting all your hair. The goal here is to make a sleek top-knot.
3. Wind the hair around itself and pin it into place. Pouffe up the entire top-knot to make it bigger. Pin any hair popping out.
4. Spray hairspray all over your hair
5. Pull a few pieces out to frame your face and straighten them. Bold lips call for a sleek updo like this one.

I’d suggest you pair this look up with a simple, one colour outfit so that the pop of colour on the lips is a showstopper.

Look 4: Fun and Peppy

1. Follow steps 1-4 of the Look #2 tutorial.
2. Take a coloured liquid eyeliner of your choice. I’d suggest you not go in any crazy colours since it’s Eid. Greens, blues or purples are fine. Draw a winged eyeliner making sure the wing isn’t too statement-y. It should be wearable.
3. Coat your lashes with black mascara. This makes sure that the colour pops even more.
4. Fill in your eyebrows.
5. Dab some blush and highlighter.
6. Finish off with rosy or terracotta lipstick.
7. Spray some fixing spray or rosewater all over. And you’re done.

For the hair:

1. Straighten or curl your hair as per your liking.
2. Smoothen your hair and pin it at the back of your head. Incorporate some braids if you wish to.
3. Finish off with a hairspray.

I’d suggest you wear this look if you’re wearing a lawn outfit. It’s fresh and dynamic and would really go with the summery vibes in the air.

Look 5: Bronzed Goddess

For the face:
1. Start by prepping the skin with moisturizer, sunscreen and primer.
2. Squirt out your liquid foundation​ on the back of your hand and add two to three drops of a liquid or cream highlighter of your choice. Mix them both together. Put this mixture on your face for a subtle glow. Blend for a seamless finish.
3. Conceal and correct all your problematic areas.
4. Powder your entire face making sure the foundation still peeks through. You don’t want to make your face look cakey.
5. Put a mauvy blush on the apples of your cheek. Then brush on a champagne coloured highlighter onto the highest points of your face. Then bronze the perimeters of your face.
6. Dab on a bronzy eyeshadow onto the lid. Darken the outer corners of your eyes in a V-shape to add depth, with a darker brown. Blend to diffuse the colours together.
7. Line your upper lash line with dark brown or black eyeliner. Make sure it’s a thin line. Load your eyelashes with black mascara.
8. Groom and fill in your eyebrows.
9. Put a muted pink or peach lipstick or lipgloss. Dab a gold eyeshadow onto the centre of your lip so that your lips gleam in the daylight. Metallic lips are very much in vogue this season.

For the hair:

1. Straighten or curl your hair as you like making sure you put a thermal protectant prior to applying heat.
2. Section your hair from ear to ear. Leave the front section loose and tie the hair at the back to keep them away from the face.
3. With a middle part, make two french braids going towards your ears. Secure them into place. Don’t care about them being too neat. The messier, the better.
4. Untie the back section and let it loose, finishing​ off with hairspray to tame any frizz.

I’d suggest you wear this look if you’re wearing something bling-bling and traditional. The golds and earthy tones will surely compliment your attire.
