Hari Raya or Eid al-Fitr, its not just about celebration after the end of Ramadan for muslims. But about spiritual renewal, forgiveness, and surrounding yourself with your loved ones.

It's also a perfect time to show your best self, both inside and out. Since we will be greeting family relatives and friends. If you want that natural glow without spending too much time or money, here’s how you can do a simple glow-up right from your home.

1. Skincare Prep 

Moisturised skin is the foundation of any glow-up. You don’t need fancy products, just a few basic steps to bring out your natural glow:

- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin fresh and glowing

- DIY Face Scrub: Mix sugar with honey or coffee grounds with a little coconut oil for a natural exfoliator

- Sheet Mask: Apply sheet mask for a quick glow up, if you don't have one you can also soak cotton pads in aloe vera gel or your hydrating toner and place them on your face for 10 minutes to help refreshing your skin

- Sunscreen Is a Must: Even if you’re mostly indoors, don't forget to apply sunscreen 

- Use a Hydrating Soap: This is often overlooked but your shower essentials also can make a big difference in keeping your skin soft and feeling fresh

2. Makeup for That Soft Glam Look

On Hari Raya, a simple effortless makeup look without looking too much is better! You don’t need expensive products. Just use what you already have and apply them like this:

- Dewy Skin Hack: Mix a drop of moisturizer with your foundation or BB cream for a fresh look

- Blush Without Blush? Dab a little lipstick on your cheeks and blend it out with your fingers for a natural flush

- Fix your Brows: If you don’t have an eyebrow pencil, lightly dab brown eyeshadow or even a tiny bit of dark brown eyeliner for a softer look

- Lip Balm Trick: If you don’t have lip gloss, apply a thin layer of Vaseline over your lipstick for a natural shine

3. Outfit Ideas to Upgrade Your Look

The right outfit makes all the difference. Here’s how to put together a stylish Raya look with what you already own:

- Choose the Right Color: If you don’t want to buy a new outfit, mix and match your existing clothes in soft pastels, jewel tones, or neutrals for the elegant vibe

- Layer Smartly: A simple dress can look more festive with a flowy outerwear or shawl

- Accessorize Wisely: Even a plain baju kurung or kebaya can stand out with statement earrings, a nice handbag, or a classic watch

- Comfy Yet Stylish Shoes: If you’re planning to visit multiple houses, go for block heels or embellished flats instead of stilettos

 

4. Quick and Easy Hair Fixes

Your hairstyle or hijabi style can also make a huge difference:

- Soft Waves Without Heat: Braid your hair before bed, then loosen it in the morning for natural-looking waves

- Sleek Ponytail or Bun: If your hair is frizzy, apply a little aloe vera gel or hair serum and tie it up neatly

- DIY Hair Mask: Mix coconut oil or olive oil with honey and leave it on your hair for 20 minutes before washing. This helps add shine and smoothness!

- Hijabi Tips: Don’t forget to dry your hair completely before covering to avoid itchy scalp issues

- Breathable Hijab Fabrics for Comfort
Choose the airy fabrics like chiffon, cotton voile, or lightweight satin to stay cool and comfortable throughout the day

5. Confidence is the Best Glow!

Well, it's not secret that the best way to shine during Hari Raya is to feel good about yourself. Smile and enjoy the moment because when you feel happy and confident, that’s when you truly glow!
