Eid al-Adha, a significant festival celebrated in the Islamic religion worldwide, is a time of sacrifice and devotion to God. As this joyous occasion approaches, people prepare to celebrate with delectable food, delightful sweets, and stylish attire. However, the arrival of the monsoon season brings with it wet and humid weather, leading to various skin allergies and issues.


Renowned makeup artist Sahibba K Anand shared her quick and easy skincare routine to help individuals prepare their themselves for the upcoming festivities with ABP Live. 


1 - Prep Your Skin Naturally: 


To achieve a flawless base before applying makeup, Sahibba advised individuals to prep and prime their skin naturally through a disciplined routine. She recommended using a gentle facewash twice a day, followed by the application of a vitamin C serum and a moisturiser. Even in the absence of direct sunlight, Sahibba emphasised the importance of using a gel-based sunscreen throughout the day at regular intervals.


"Though there are various skincare routines, following this simple and stress-free process with strict discipline works wonders for your skin," Sahibba said.


Additionally, she highlighted the significance of this prep procedure both before and after applying makeup.


Step 2 - Choose The Right Serum For Your Skin Type: 


Sahibba suggested using a serum appropriate for your specific skin type to enhance its health and appearance. Depending on individual needs, she recommended different acids and vitamins, such as glycolic acid for most skin types (except sensitive skin), lactic acid for dry or sensitive skin, salicylic acid for oily, acne-prone, or combination skin, mandelic acid for oily, acne-prone, or sensitive skin, vitamin C for normal or aging skin, and retinol for all skin types except dry skin.


Step 3 - Opt For Long-Lasting Makeup: 


Considering the humid weather during the monsoon season, Sahibba advised opting for weightless HD foundations, waterproof mascara, and long-lasting lip colors. Choosing light and waterproof makeup allows the skin to breathe while ensuring the longevity of the look.


Step 4 - Stay Hydrated: 


Maintaining proper hydration is crucial, and Sahibba emphasised the importance of keeping oneself hydrated for soft and smooth skin. Drinking an ample amount of water and consuming natural juices, shakes, and raw fruits help in achieving natural hydration. Sahibba recommended including pure mineral water as an essential component of one's hydration routine.


Additional Tips For Skin Care: 


Sahibba provides further advice to promote healthy skin:


Avoid using harsh loofahs or scrubs and remember to gently pat dry your face.


When applying moisturisers or serums, use upward motions and perform a lymphatic drainage massage with your fingers and knuckles.


Avoid using harsh cleansers that may strip excessive moisture from the skin.

This crucial step, recommended by Celebrity Makeup Artist Gunjan Aghera Patel, ensures that your skin is well-prepared and provides a smooth canvas for flawless makeup application. She  further shared below-mentioned tips to achieve a perfect look this Eid: 


Prep Your Face: Lay Foundation For Perfection


To achieve a flawless and glowing look on Eid, begin by thoroughly cleansing your face and applying a nourishing moisturiser. This crucial step ensures that your skin is well-prepared and provides a smooth canvas for makeup application.


A Good Base: Choose Long-Wearing Foundation


Select a foundation with a long-wearing formula that matches your skin tone. Using a damp beauty sponge or a foundation brush, apply it evenly, blending it seamlessly into your skin. To extend its longevity, lightly dust translucent powder over your foundation, setting it in place.


Enhance The Eyes: Mesmerising And Festive


For a festive Eid look, opt for metallic or sparkly eyeshadows in deep, warm shades like burgundy, bronze, or gold. Blend these hues seamlessly on your eyelids to create a mesmerizing effect. To define your lashes, use a winged eyeliner and apply multiple coats of mascara for added drama.


Radiant Cheeks: Achieve A Natural Flush


To achieve a healthy and natural flush, apply a light blush to the apples of your cheeks. Choose warm pink or peach hues that complement your complexion. Apply the blush gently, blending it in for a radiant and fresh-faced appearance.


Choose A Striking Lip Colour: Stand Out With Glamorous Lips


Select a striking lip color that complements your outfit and adds a touch of glitz to your overall look. Popular choices for Eid include traditional crimson, deep plum, or vivid coral shades. Remember to exfoliate your lips beforehand and use a lip balm to create a smooth and moisturised base for your lip color to adhere to.


Set Everything Up: Lock In Your Eid Look


To ensure that your makeup remains intact and fresh throughout the day, apply a setting spray to your entire face. This final step seals in your makeup and provides a protective barrier against humidity and sweat, ensuring that your gorgeous Eid look lasts.


Confidence Is Key: Embrace Your Unique Style


When it comes to wearing makeup, always maintain your sense of confidence. Feel free to experiment with various hues and application methods to find the look that makes you feel truly beautiful and Eid-ready. Embrace your unique style and let your personality shine through your makeup choices.

Foolproof Tips On How To Weather Through The Monsoon Beauty Woes


Monsoon season requires special makeup, as the humidity can quickly ruin your look. It can smudge lip color, ruin mascara, and leave your skin looking patchy. To prevent this, Makeup Maverick Arti Nayar has shared a few makeup tips for the perfect rainy-day look. These ultimate melt-proof makeup tips will ensure that your masterpiece lasts all day long, even during the rains.


Cream-Based Products: Blend And Set For Longevity


When using cream-based products, it's crucial to remember to use them sparingly on rainy days. Due to the intense humidity, ensure that you blend the cream products well and set them with a powder product to prevent movement. This technique will help you achieve a matte, velvety finish on the skin, providing an 'airbrush' effect.


Use Setting Powder: Lock In Your Look


Dedicating a few moments to dusting on setting powder can make all the difference in the longevity of your makeup look. Make sure to set your makeup well with a good setting powder. This will allow the makeup to stay put for longer. Grab a big brush and evenly distribute a small amount of powder over your face and neck to seal the makeup in place.


Embrace Bold, Happy Colour Lipsticks


It's no secret that women love their lipsticks. You might own several shades that seem similar, but there is just something about bold lip colours that women absolutely adore, especially during the monsoons. "A pop lip is a great way to beat the gloomy skies and serves as a fail-safe go-to for this season," says Arti.
