If you’re finally fully vaccinated (longest 14 day-wait ever, amirite?), have nailed a dinner reservation at your favourite restaurant, and have bought a new outfit and hijab to go along with it – here’s a question. What do you have planned for your makeup?
The pairing of a soft, crepe-like scarf to a bold winged eyeliner can make your eyes instantly pop. A colourful and patterned scarf when completed with a satin matte complexion, Twiggy-like false lashes, and a K-beauty ombre lip can really sharpen your features.
If you need a little inspiration to match the right makeup look to your chosen hijab style and colour, we’ve done the research for you. Here, consider these six hijab makeup ideas for you next dinner date:
For a simple, easy to-do look, try a soft, dusty pink scarf matched with a face of pink makeup. You’d want to go easy on the pinks in your makeup. Instead of bright, neon, hot pinks or fuchsias, opt for the muted, natural-looking pink shades for your eyeshadow, blusher, and lipstick.
Also, go easy on the pinks. It’s so easy to get carried away and keep piling on the powder to your cheeks. To avoid that, always apply your makeup in the best lit area in your house, such as by an open window or door (where’s there’s lots of outdoor sunlight).
A beautiful, lightweight smoky eye with a winged eyeliner. We love this natural-looking rendition of the winged eyeliner – complemented with a light touch of eyeshadow, false eyeshadow, mascara, nose contour, full eyebrow, and barely-there blush.
Have you ever picked up a beautiful, patterned scarf, and wondered how to match your makeup to it? Take cues from this look – a patterned teal scarf matched with a sharp brow, a hint of gold in the eyeshadow, mascara, nose contour, highlights, a light touch of blush, and an ombre K-beauty pink lipstick.
If you already have a usual go-to makeup look but you’re not sure how to spice things up, try accessorising your eye with stick-on diamantes in varying sizes, high shine highlighter on your cheek, and a pair of equally bling earrings to complete the look.
If sparkly is not up your alley, try accessorising your usual winged eyeliner with a flush of eyeshadow – right to the end of it – for an instant upgrade.
Got appetite for more? If you’re bold, loud, and prefer to push things to their limits, this bolder makeup look is for you.
Get a tube cap, tuck your hair in. Now, tie your patterned scarf of choice and tie it up in a top-knot (or your desired style). Pick out matching eyeshadow colours, and fill up your eyelid. Now, spice your eye makeup up with a half hook cat eyeliner. Complete the look with the usual contour, highlighting, and your favourite red lipstick.
We love this beautiful and classy take on the red lip. Find yourself a red scarf, wear a tube cap, and tuck the scarf behind your head so that your earrings show.
Frame your face with a full, sharp brow, give your lashes a boost with mascara, and define your eyes with a winged eyeliner (or a negative space cat eyeliner). Go for a natural contour, blush, and give your best satin-matte red lipstick.
Complete your classic red lipstick hijab makeup with a pair of dramatic, red earrings. Option to wear a dress, top, or jacket with some hints or red in it. Otherwise, wear a black top and pants, and throw on a full, red jacket like this lady did for maximum impact. Voila!
