SUMMER SOLUTIONS for Eid
After a long month of fasting and praying comes one of the biggest festivals of the calendar, Eid-ul-Fitr. This year, it coincides with a gruelling hot and humid summer. Renowned beautician Farzana Shakil suggests a few hair and makeup tips which may help you look your best during this Eid.
So what are the 'in' hairstyles of the season? Yes you are right, the 50s and 60s vintage carriage is back! This summer, its all about curls, braids and chic updos. Waterfall and Mermaid braids are in vogue right now, and you can also try various updos to keep you cool throughout the day. The one-sided classic bun or the braid-wrapped bun could also be your saviour. Be it a creative updo or just plain blow-dry, Shakil advises not to use too much hairspray and keep it natural. During the night, you could go for ornamented bands, beads or even the season's fresh flowers to adorn your snazzy hairdo. Apart from all this, you may want to go for a haircut before Eid, and it's best to get it as soon as possible because it takes around seven to fifteen days for your hair to get a good shape.
Summer and heavy makeup do not go hand in hand, therefore its better to keep it light and refreshing. Shakil suggests not to use too much foundation as the humid climate of our country may make it a mess. However, you can go for a water-based foundation. The main attraction should be on your beautiful eyes; bold blues, metallic greens and shimmering purples are the in colours this season. Whether you opt for thinly lined eyes, or you spice it up with thick-winged eyeliner, be sure to wear plenty of mascara to add some extra drama to your eyes Also, shaping up and defining your eyebrows are a must. For the lips, it is better to go for matte textures during the day. Corals and striking pinks will definitely make a statement, but you can also go for different shades of reds and maroons. You may want to gloss up your lips during the night to look more jazzy. Tone down on the blush-on and add a little bronzer, and you are good to go!
