As a self-certified beauty junkie, who also happens to work in the beauty industry, I’m always looking for versatility in my makeup products. While I do love a luxurious, slow paced session of blending and baking, for my every day, I gravitate towards products that double up and let me create multiple looks with minimal effort. And this week, doing the rounds in the office was Huda’s new product kit that is exclusively available on Tira. Almost showing up as an answer to my search, the sleek box unveiled an assortment of beauty gems, promising endless possibilities.
After not too much convincing, my editor agreed to let me take a sample kit home, with the exception that I detail out the looks I created and my experience with the products for a first-person account article. A fair ask. So, if you’re here, here’s what you can expect.
Huda x Tira Exclusive Kit
We’ll begin with the contents of the sleek box. I got my hands on The Brown Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette in 'Caramel,' the creamy Kohl Longwear Eye Pencil in 'Very Vanata,' the 1 Coat Wow Extra Voluminizing and Lifting Mascara, and the Liquid Matte Transfer Proof Lipstick in 'Icon' whispered of transformative potential. Decisions, decisions.. but not really. With this kind of variety, I could easily create a day and night look, both. And here’s how I did them.
Day look: a soft brown smokey eye
For me, the most flattering light has always been that morning sunlight. And as it streamed through my window, I opened up The Brown Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette in Caramel. I primed my lids and swept on a soft matte, 'Toasted Almond' shade and proceeded with layering 'Sweet Brown' onto my lids. A touch of 'Golden Bronze' at the inner corners to justify my beauty editor status, and then used the creamy 'Very Vanata' eye pencil, in a luxurious chocolate hue along my lash line to add a subtle smokiness. Next, I added volume to my lashes with the 1 Coat Wow Mascara and finished the look with the liquid matte lipstick in ‘Icon’, a bold shade with a velvety texture that perfectly balanced the softness of the eyes.
Look Two: Full Glam Party Look
Having a 9-6 job can be demanding, but a fun post-work drinks session can make up for the monotony of the week. To make way for a vibrant evening, I cleansed and primed my face and then used the ‘Caramel' eyeshadow palette to play up my eyes. I used shades 'Rich Rust' and 'Gingerbread' and blended them together for the perfect glam look. Then I swept over the shades 'Bronze Shimmer' and 'Caramel' to create a long-lasting shine. With 'Very Vanata' still smouldering along my waterline and lash line, it’s safe to say my eyes spoke volumes. The 1 Coat Wow Mascara lasted all day, and even took centre stage at night, lengthening and darkening my lashes in a way that had people asking me where I found the time to put on faux lashes! For my pout, I put on a fresh coat of the transfer-proof lip formula in ‘Icon’, the intense pigment served as the final touch to my full glam look and the Huda’s exclusive Tira kit established itself as a hit.
The Verdict
From a subtle daytime smokey eye to an all-glam night time look, the kit gave me all the necessary tools to achieve two different looks. Each product blended effortlessly and had long lasting wear. What else could a girl ask for?
