Eid is just a few days away, and we are sure that you must be preparing for the big feast. But amidst the festivities and the entire celebration, don't forget to look your best! We know, by now, you must have decided your apparel, but what about your entire look? After all, your entire look would be incomplete without the right makeup look.

Be it a simple and subtle look that you have been planning to ace for the festival or wanted a glam look for the evening, we got you covered. Here, we have listed all the makeup products you need to glow like the crescent moon itself.

Primer:

The thumb rule of makeup is, never skip a primer! Be it a glam look, or you want to keep it simple, if you don't want your makeup to smudge or look cakey, prime your skin. A primer, like its name, acts like a base for your makeup, giving it a flawless appeal. Use primer right after your moisturiser for a toned look. Here are our top picks of primers for you.

Foundation:

What comes next to a primer is a foundation for that even toned skin. Though you can choose to skip it if you are blessed with a blemish-free skin, but we would suggest you to dab a little foundation on your skin to give it a flawless look. From a liquid foundation to a stick or a creamy base, a foundation lighter than your skin tone covers imperfections, redness, and blemishes like a pro. Here are some of our top choices for you:

FAQ for Eid makeup
Eid makeup is usually glamorous yet elegant, with a focus on radiance, soft glam, or bold traditional looks. You can go for a dewy, glowy finish during the day and a bold, dramatic look for evening celebrations.
Start with a hydrating primer for dry skin or a mattifying primer for oily skin. Use a long-wear foundation and set it with a translucent loose powder. Apply setting spray before and after makeup. Choose waterproof eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick. Blot excess oil with blotting papers instead of adding more powder.
Daytime: Nude, peach, pink, or mauve shades. Evening: Bold red, burgundy, deep plum, or classic brown. Glossy or Matte: Both work, but matte stays longer while gloss adds a fresh touch.
Exfoliate and hydrate your skin before makeup. Use a glowy primer or illuminating base. Mix liquid highlighter with foundation for an extra glow. Apply cream blush and highlighter for a natural dewy finish. Finish with a dewy setting spray.
