Hari Raya is a time of joy, celebration, and togetherness. It's also the perfect occasion to showcase your best self, both inside and out. If you want that natural glow without spending too much time or money, here’s how you can do a simple yet effective glow-up right from home.
1. Skincare Prep for a Radiant Glow
Good skin is the foundation of any glow-up. You don’t need fancy products—just a few basic steps to bring out your natural radiance.
-
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin fresh and glowing. If plain water is boring, add lemon or cucumber slices for a little flavor.
-
DIY Face Scrub: Mix sugar with honey or coffee grounds with a little coconut oil for a natural exfoliator. Scrubbing once or twice a week helps remove dead skin and brighten your face.
-
Sheet Mask Alternative: If you don’t have a sheet mask, soak cotton pads in cold green tea or aloe vera gel and place them on your face for 10 minutes to refresh your skin.
-
Sunscreen Is a Must: Even if you’re mostly indoors, sunscreen protects your skin from UV damage. If you don’t have sunscreen, wearing a wide-brimmed hat when you go out helps too.
-
Use a Hydrating Soap: A gentle, moisturizing soap can make a big difference in keeping your skin soft and nourished. A shea butter soap bar, like our Wavertree & London soaps, helps lock in moisture while cleansing your skin.
2. Makeup for That Soft Glam Look
Hari Raya calls for a polished yet effortless makeup look. You don’t need expensive products. Just use what you already have and apply them strategically.
-
Dewy Skin Hack: Mix a drop of moisturizer with your foundation or BB cream for a fresh, glowing look.
-
Blush Without Blush? Dab a little lipstick on your cheeks and blend it out with your fingers for a natural flush.
-
Defined 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 or coconut oil over your lipstick for a natural shine.
3. Outfit Ideas to Elevate 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 a fresh and 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 visiting multiple houses, go for block heels or embellished flats instead of stilettos.
4. Quick and Easy Hair Fixes
Your hairstyle can make a huge difference, and you don’t need a salon to achieve a polished look.
-
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 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
5. Confidence is the Best Glow!
The best way to shine during Hari Raya is to feel good about yourself. Stand tall, smile, and enjoy the moment. When you feel happy and confident, that’s when you truly glow!
