Eidul Fitr is right around the corner and while most of us are busy getting manicures, mehndi and shoes, we sometimes forget to sit and think about the kind of makeup and hair we should opt for.

Sticking to our comfort look or making last-minute, hasty decisions based on our vibes, we may end up with regrets about over-doing or under-doing our makeup or opting for hair that doesn’t last us an hour in this hot and humid weather.

But there are always ways to elevate your hair and makeup game last minute — all you need to do is figure out the trends that are making waves this season and ways to apply them. Don’t have the time? We’ve got you covered!

From glowing skin to playful eye looks, we’ve compiled five spring/summer trends that will glam up your Eid celebrations. We’ve also shared tips and tricks to make them functional — depending on what you want.

Glazed Skin

Say goodbye to matte finishes and hello to glazed skin! This season, the spotlight is on dewy, radiant skin that exudes freshness. Embrace the trend by opting for a shiny finish that reflects light beautifully.

Achieve this look with moisturisers, hydrating primers, luminous foundations, and strategically placed highlighters. Dewy products paired with light, pastel eyeshadows will give you that doll-like glow perfect for Eid festivities.

Chrome Eyes

For a modern twist on eye makeup, try incorporating chrome eyeliners or eyeshadows into your look. Experiment with cool-toned washes of colour like blue, taupe, green, and pink to add dimension to your eyes.

The colour-shifting nature of chrome makeup adds a touch of sophistication and playfulness to your look. Whether you’re going for a subtle daytime look or a bold evening statement, chrome eyes are sure to turn heads this Eid.

Bold Blush

Elevate your blush game with bold placements and vibrant shades. There’s no such thing as too much blush, especially when applied strategically to enhance your features. Experiment with different blush tones –– from warm oranges to cool purples –– to complement your skin tone, outfit or even mood.

For a youthful and seamless finish, blend your blush upwards towards your temples and incorporate it into your eyeshadow for a cohesive look. Opt for creamy blush formulas with a dewy finish to achieve that radiant glow.

Nude Lips

When it comes to lip colour for Eid, nude is the way to go. Swap out matte burgundy shades for nude lip combos that complement your colourful eye and cheek makeup.

Start by lining your lips with a brown liner slightly darker than your natural lip colour. Then, apply nude lipstick which you can blend into the liner by pressing your lips together or with a small brush. Follow it up with a tinted gloss for added dimension. The result? A soft, understated lip look that balances out your vibrant makeup effortlessly.

Single Strands

Complete your Eid look with a chic hairstyling trend — single strands, perfect for the summer. Whether you have long locks or a shorter hairstyle, this trend is easy to achieve and adds a touch of sophistication to your overall appearance.

Simply let a single tendril of hair frame your face on either side, creating a soft and romantic effect. Pair this hairstyle with a middle parting for a polished look or a side parting for an effortless vibe. Whether you’re attending a family gathering or a festive dinner, single strands are the perfect finishing touch to your Eid ensemble.

Flowers in hair

As we dive into the realm of hair trends for Eidul Fitr 2024, there’s one accessory that’s blooming with elegance and charm – flowers. So, as you prepare for Eid, don’t forget to add a touch of nature’s beauty to your hair. Reminiscent of Renaissance-inspired looks with a modern twist ––think, intricate braids woven with whimsical lilies or loose waves adorned with delicate rosettes – the possibilities are endless.

Whether you opt for fresh blooms or faux florals, incorporating flowers into your hairstyle adds a touch of femininity and sophistication to your Eid look. Channel your inner romantic by tucking flowers behind your ear, weaving them into braids, or creating a floral crown for a bohemian-inspired vibe.
