The Beauty Edit

Just in time for Eid, Élan partnered with L’Oréal Paris to introduce Eid make-up looks. Make-up expert Saima Rashid Bargfrede curated three looks, based on the latest make-up trends from Paris Fashion Week 2017

Blush Boom



This look works with the trend of ‘draping’, which was huge on fashion runways for Spring/Summer 2017. Draping is a form of contouring using different shades of blush to follow the natural bone structure. For this look, we used the Infallible Blush Paint Palette in 02 Amber, which has five different blush tones from matte to pearly, to create a high intensity blush finish.

Dewy Fresh



Nothing looks better than healthy skin, and in the summer season, skin should be allowed to breathe and look radiant– with little help from make-up. To create the look, prep the skin with a healthy dose of moisturiser, followed by the Infallible Total Cover Foundation. This was followed by the Total Cover Concealer Palette, to combat the effect of any dullness, redness and blemishes on the skin. The Infallible Sculpt Palette was used to delicately contour and highlight the face, layered with pearly shades from the Blush Paint Palette on the high points of the cheeks, temples and bridge of the nose to create the perfect ‘ look.

Colour Me Summer



There’s no Eid and no summer without colour. This look used high intensity iridescent shades from the Colour Riche La Palette Nude – Rose. The lower lash line was smudged in for evening Eid glamour and a Colour Riche Collection Exclusive Pure Red lipstick was used in Blake.
