STEP BY STEP EID MAKEUP TUTORIAL

Step 1: Prep Your Skin
Before we begin applying foundation, let’s prepare our skin for the makeup.
Start by generously applying ice-cool Aloe Vera Gel to soothe and hydrate your skin. I recommend making cuts on the Aloe Vera plant to easily extract the fresh gel 🙂

Aloe vera is excellent for acne-prone skin as it provides soothing effects and works wonders as a primer. The key is to massage it thoroughly into your skin, allowing it to dry completely. This way, you can proceed with your makeup without worrying about foundation flakes.
If you have extra oily skin, simply rinse your face with water once it’s dry, pat it dry, and apply a light moisturizer. Following these steps will ensure a flawless finish.

Step 2: Eyes – Blue and Bold
As my skin was being primed, I began with the eyes. I used the Naked Brown blush from Wet n Wild in my crease, using a fluffy brush to blend it well.
Next, for the lid, I applied the Zay Beauty Shokh Eyeshadow Palette, choosing the deepest blue shade, Neeli, which resembles a shiny peacock blue. I concentrated most of it on the lower part of the lid and then blended it upwards with the brown. The key here is to focus the eyeshadow on the lower lid rather than covering the entire lid.
I then used the same brown and blue under the eyes to deepen the look since I wasn’t using eyeliner. For a more dramatic effect, you can certainly add white or brown kajal to your waterline.
Afterward, I applied Blue Jeans from NYX to create a shiny duo-tone blue effect. It’s crucial to use a minimal amount for this step, applying it from the inner corner towards the center of the lid.
For the brow bone, I used a silver glitter shade called Chandani from the same palette. I applied a tiny amount and also dabbed it on the inner corner of the eye.
Step 3: Concealer
A touch of color correction can transform the appearance of your foundation.
For the concealer, I opted for Tarte Clay Stick Foundation in Sand, a shade slightly darker than my skin tone. I applied a small amount without mixing it with my usual Bourjois Always Fabulous 2-In-1 Foundcealer Stick. Since I’m using a full-coverage foundation, I aim to minimize the number of products used.

Let’s perfect that base!
Step 4: Flawless Sapphire Foundation
For the Eid Makeup base, I’ve used Sapphire Foundation in Hazel Nut. It’s a matte, full-coverage foundation that’s perfect for oily skin and blends like a dream. The trick is to apply it extremely quickly all over the face to get smooth coverage because it has a very thin consistency. You can build coverage as desired.

For concealer, I opted for Wet n Wild Photo Focus Concealer in Ivory, applying it to the high points of my face. Let it sit for a few minutes before blending with a beauty blender, ensuring not to disrupt any lines you’ve created.
After blending, set it with a thin layer of setting powder. I used Laura Mercier setting powder and applied a baking technique to areas where I used concealer to lock it in place.
Step 5: Face Finish Bronzer MII cosmetics
To add some depth and dimension to the Eid Makeup look! I reached for the Face Finish Bronzer from Mii Cosmetics.
This bronzer is great for those with brown skin tones. A light sweep in the crease area gives us that dimensional effect without veering into overly pink tones.

Step 6: Terracotta Highlighter Note beauty
Highlighter can truly tie the whole Eid Makeup together. I applied it delicately on the cupid’s bow, brow bone, and cheeks, emphasizing the importance of using a minimal amount.
Step 7 : Finish Powder from Laura Mercier
To seal everything in place, I turned to Laura Mercier cosmetics. A gentle tap of the finish powder all over ensures our makeup stays put.
Don’t forget to bake under the eyes for that extra flawless finish.

Step 8: Lips on Point
For the lips, I started by using the 908 ST London lipstick as a lip liner. Its gorgeous chocolate brown hue is a personal favorite of mine, as it not only defines but also enhances the natural shape of the lips.
Moving on to the lipstick, I opted for the subtle nude shade 900 from Ingrid Cosmetics, a renowned Polish brand. This shade adds a touch of elegance to the overall Eid Makeup look, complementing the bronzy tones and highlighting the natural beauty of the lips
Step 10: Flutter Those Lashes with Mascara
And what’s a glam look without some killer lashes? Use any mascara to amp up those eyelashes to make the eyelashes look bigger.
And you can set everything with a makeup setting spray to make the makeup last longer.
And TADA the Eid Makeup look is complete.

Aicha’s Thoughts
It’s hard to celebrate Eid when the reality in Palestine is so devastating. For two years, millions have been killed, hospitals have been destroyed, and people are barely surviving. Meanwhile, Israel continues to violate peace agreements, bombing multiple countries at once—yet the world, especially Muslim leaders, remains silent. How can we celebrate while such horrors unfold?
What’s even more frustrating is the hypocrisy within the Muslim world. Countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, and Jordan not only stay silent on Palestine but also oppress/kill their own people—showing that human life holds little value to them. And yet, they remain close allies of the US, supporting systems that fuel global injustice.
Do you really think that praying, fasting, or going on Umrah is enough? – that’s not how change happens! Islam teaches us to stand for justice, to speak up against oppression—not to remain passive. If we can’t even do that, then what does being Muslim truly mean?
Eid shouldn’t just be about outward celebrations; it should also prompt us to reflect and take a stand against injustice. The world needs to acknowledge the truth about the root causes of these conflicts and the role of entities like Israel and the US establishment in perpetuating violence & the failure of institutions like the UN to bring real change.
It’s time to break the silence and need to work toward a world where justice and peace are more than just empty words.
Makeup is a powerful form of self-expression that allows individuals to enhance their features, experiment with their appearance, and boost their confidence. It can be an art form, a daily ritual, or a fun hobby, providing endless opportunities for creativity. Whether used for special occasions or everyday wear, makeup can transform not only the way we look but also the way we feel about ourselves.
