Eid-ul-Fitr not only marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan but also symbolises an internal reset of routines, habits, and systems. Thus, it is no surprise that your beauty routine deserves a reset too, especially after long fasting hours and a hectic schedule. Here is how you can ensure a radiant and stunning look this Eid.

Skincare
Glowing skin starts with the correct skin prep. Make sure you are applying sunscreen every day to beat the heat and keeping your skin supple with a moisturiser. In the days leading up to Eid, focus on hydration and nourishment. Aloe vera can act as an excellent soothing gel to replenish the skin. Exfoliate weekly with oatmeal/coffee and honey for glowing skin. Uptan and sandalwood masks should also give you an instant glow boost. For the best results, consider getting a hydra facial at an upscale salon to revitalise dull skin.

Haircare
In Bangladesh’s humid weather, coconut oil is your best friend for nourishing your scalp amidst busy schedules. Deep-conditioning hair masks can help keep frizz and dryness at bay. You can make one at home using ripe bananas with milk or mayonnaise for added hydration. If you have brittle hair, eggs are an easy fix to strengthen and nourish your hair follicles. A quick rinse with cold water and apple cider vinegar, or even white vinegar, at the end of your shower can help seal cuticles and enhance shine. If your hair ends are splitting, consider getting a haircut.

Makeup
To ensure your makeup doesn’t melt away due to the extreme heat and humidity on Eid, go for a more natural, dewy makeup look with a light skin tint or foundation, followed by liquid highlighter for that inner glow. Keep the eyeshadow minimal with neutral browns with subtle shimmer and opt for waterproof eyeliner and mascara to keep your eye makeup intact. Mattify the entire look with loose powders and use cream-based blush and contour for that pop of colour. Finish the look with a bold, long-lasting lipstick to pair the look together. A setting spray afterwards is non-negotiable to make sure your makeup remains put, even during a possible heatwave.

Henna
Is Eid even complete without mehedi? Let your henna design reflect your personality, whether it’s minimal and chic or elaborate and elegant. For the nails, either paint them red or nude to pair best with the henna. Scent is another essential component of the entire Eid experience. You can best pair a traditional attar with a floral perfume to finish it on a high note.

Smile
As we remain focused on making our outer beauty shine, don’t neglect your inner beauty. Make sure you are well-rested and have a healthy diet to make sure you not only look your best but feel your best too.

Achieving a flawless look for Eid doesn't have to be time-consuming or complicated. With these simple tips, you should be able to create a stunning look that will remain etched in everyone’s memories.
