8 things you need to know before you get ready for Eid.

Hi guys. Chand Raat Mubarak. I hope you've got all things ready to get yourself dolled up this Eid. 😊
Here are a few things I want to tell you that you need to remember while doing your makeover.

Okay, let's start.

1. Don't forget to prepare your skin:

Cleansing, toning and moisturizing are very important steps. You should add these steps in your daily skin care routine. Cleansing helps you remove dirt from your skin, toning helps to close the pores and prevents from breakouts and moisturizing is necessary to hydrate your skin. These steps also prepare your skin for makeup, helping in smooth application. 

2. Right amount and shade of foundation.

Always remember not to apply too much foundation. It takes away the natural look and makes you look cakey and fake. Another thing to remember while choosing the right foundation is 'choose the foundation that matches your skin tone'. I have seen many people applying foundation lighter than their skin tone to look 'fair' and trust me this is not right at all. It makes your complexion greyish and fake. Not a good decision. Foundations are meant to enhance your tone NOT to lighten it. God has made you beautiful. You can look gorgeous in your wheatish complexion too :) ps go for a waterproof foundation, it's too hot out there.

3. Contouring, highlighting and applying blush according to the shape of your face is must.

We all have different shapes of our faces. Some have round faces, some have heart shaped face, some have oval, some have square and much more. Application of contour, highlighter and blush is also different for different shapes. You can see the picture above, it explains the right way of application of these according to different face shapes. 

4. Liquid lipsticks stay longer, don't smudge or bleed.

Liquid matte lipsticks have a better staying power, they don't end up bleeding, smudging or simply disappearing. They're trending too. Yes, they do make your lips feel dry but you can exfoliate and then moisturize and prime your lips before application to minimize the dryness. 

5. Don't apply too many layers of mascara and make your eyelashes clumpy.

Too much mascara that makes your eyelashes clumpy is NOT a good idea. Try not to apply more than two layers. You can apply three if your lashes don't start clumping (depends on the mascara that you're wearing). If you want your lashes to have more volume for Eid, use false eyelashes for your look.

6. Don't forget to invest in a good, waterproof, smudge proof eyeliner. 

Do you want to look like this after an hour or two of applying makeup for Eid? Of course NOT. Girls, it's too hot out there. You don't want your eyeliner to smudge and destroy your complete look. So do wear a nice waterproof eyeliner :)

7. Don't forget your brows.

Brows give your face a more defined, gorgeous look. Patchy, light eyebrows don't look nice at all. I have seen many people completely ignoring their eyebrows. You're blessed if you've got naturally thick, dark eyebrows but don't forget to fill in your brows if you need to. 

8. Set your makeup with a setting powder.

After you've done your makeup, don't forget to set it with a setting powder. Many people skip this step but remember, it's Eid and you wanr your makeup to last longer. :)

I hope you liked the tips, stay tuned for more posts in the future. May your makeup be on point this Eid. Look gorgeous, Eid Mubarak, love. xx
