Look 1: Sculpted to the T
For someone who likes to take their time and do their makeup leisurely, we’ve got a stunner in store.
Step 1: The Prep
After you’re done with your skincare routine, begin with a mattifying, smoothing primer for your makeup to hold on to. Ensure your skincare also follows the no-dew brief – oil-free moisturisers and gel-based SPF, you already know how it goes.
Tira recommends: Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte + Poreless Primer SPF 20
Step 2: The Eyes
For a snatched cat eye, opt for deep browns and clear gold and create a sharp wing to give your eyes a lift. Place your mascara on just the outer corner of your eyes to maintain this lifted look.

Step 3: The Face
Start with a medium to full-coverage creamy foundation for a velvety base. Sculpt with concealer and bronzer. Drape the blush from the centre of your face up to your temples. Place highlighter under the brows and down the bridge of the nose for added definition.

Step 4: The Lips
Create a mid-2000s-inspired plump lip with a powdery matte liquid lipstick that stays on all day. Top it off with clear gloss and keep it handy for quick touch-ups throughout the day.

Look 2: Understated and chic
If you’re the host (or generally incapable of planning your day), chances are your Eid morning will be rushed. While your stunning sharara may already be on point, here’s a makeup look to go with it.
Step 1: The Prep
For a barely-there, minimal base, ensure that your skin prep is on point. To lend a dewy finish to your makeup, begin with a glow-boosting hydrating serum or essence. Follow with your regular moisturiser and lightweight sunscreen.
Tira recommends: COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Step 2: The Eyes
Apply a metallic gold eyeshadow around your top lid and bottom waterline. Line with a liquid liner and draw a dainty wing. Lengthen the lashes with fluttery mascara and lightly fill in your brows for some depth and dimension.
Tira recommends: Bobbi Brown Ink Liner - Blackest Black
Step 3: The Face
Semi-matte foundations are long-lasting in the hot and humid weather while also retaining dewiness. Lightly contour with a shimmery bronzer and deposit subtle, liquid blush on the apple of the cheeks. Dab some pressed powder highlighter with your fingers for a natural glow.

Step 4: The Lips
Now for the best part of the routine – grab a lip brush and paint your pout in shades of brown, crimson, deep red or maroon. It’s this luscious touch of colour that will beautifully balance the metallic hues of your Eid outfit.
