Eid makeup tutorial with Sabina Hannan

Writer and expert3 years ago

Ready to go full glam with your makeup look this Eid? Discover beauty icon and influencer Sabina Hannan’s tutorial on how to achieve this show-stopping, shimmery look.

Step one

Begin by shaping your brows with the L'oreal Paris Infallible Concealer. Using a flat brush, sharpen and outline your brows to define their shape, and cover up any stray hairs, before blending out the concealer with a small fluffy brush.

Step two

Now it’s time to prime your eyelids. Using the Infallible Concealer, take a generous amount on a flat brush and apply all over the lids to prime and prepare them for shadow. Blend out with a damp beauty blender for a seamless application.

Step three

It’s important to always start a bold eye makeup look with a transition shade. Using the NYX Ultimate eyeshadow palette, take the shade Boundaries and apply all over the lids with a fluffy brush, buffing out in circular motions.

Step four

Next, take the shade End Game and apply it to the outer corners of your lids, starting in the outer corner and bringing it inwards with gentle circular motions.

If your shadow has gone slightly astray at this point, don’t panic! Simply use the shade Blur from the same palette to gently buff out the edges and remove any harsh lines.

Step five

Now the exciting part – time for a pop of shimmer! Taking the desired shade from the NYX palette, use your finger to sweep the shade onto the main portion of your lids. Using your finger rather than a brush will give you a much more pigmented, rich application.

Step six

Take the shimmer to the next level with the Stila Liquid Glow Eyeshadow in the shade Bronze Girl. Apply with the wand and then blend out gently using your fingers for a beautiful bold glow.

Step seven

The key to achieving a seamless base is to use a good quality primer. Prep your skin for foundation with the Illamasqua Hydra Veil Primer, applying all over the face using your hands.

Step eight

For a glowy, fresh base, take the The Ordinary Coverage Foundation, buffing the formula in gently all over the face using a beauty blender. Then, to cover up imperfections, dark circles or uneven skin tone, take the Maybelline Instant Anti Age Concealer and apply using a beauty blender.

Top tip: to boost the luminosity and diminish dark circles, top up the inner and outer corners of your under-eyes with a slightly lighter concealer shade, providing a brightening, lifting effect.

Step nine

Set your concealer and prevent it from creasing using the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. Take a generous amount on your beauty blender and gently pat under your eyes.

Step ten

Now it’s time to contour and bronze the skin for a sunkissed glow. Take the NYX Wonder Stick and apply to key areas including the cheekbones, the forehead, and the bridge of the nose. Blend out using a medium fluffy brush.

Boost your glow with the Natasha Denona Bronze Palette. Apply using a fluffy brush over your cheekbones to set and enhance your contour.

Step eleven

For a new take on blush, use the NYX Matte Lip Cream and mix it with a minimal amount of foundation using the back of your hand. With your fingertips, apply to the apples of your cheeks, and where you would naturally blush.

Step twelve

Now it’s time to make your eyes pop. Take the Eylure Sabina Girl Boss Lashes and apply them to your top lash line, following the packet instructions. Then pick up your Urban Decay Naked Reloaded palette again and apply the shades Boundaries and End Game to your lower lash line. Give the lower lashes some definition with the Maybelline Sensational Mascara.

Step thirteen

Top up your glow with the NYX 3C Palette. Using a small fluffy brush, apply to the high points of your face including the cheekbones as well as the tip and the bridge of the nose.

Step fourteen

Nothing completes a glam makeup look like a bold red lip. Start by lining your lips with the Mellow Lip Pencil. Over-line your lips subtly at the cupids bow for a fuller look. Top off your pout with the Lottie London Liquid Lipstick, applying all over the lips using the wand.
