Makeup Tips for Women with Hijab

Soft color eye make up for women in hijab

When a woman wearing a headscarf, it means that her face will be the center of attention. Therefore you need to be careful to choose the appropriate style make up with the veil model selection.
In the book ‘Dressage’ and ‘Style Riding Hood’ by Tini Sardadi and Amy Wirabudi, explained a few things that need to be considered by women veiled to do the make ups.

Eyebrow

Cat eye style

For those who are veiled, the eyebrows should be much more visible than those who are not veiled.
A messy eyebrow make the face looks dull and not fresh. Use an eyebrow pencil to draw the shape of eyebrows, avoid the eyebrows tattooed impressed because it’s unnatural. Do not draw the eyebrow too short or too long, it should be ended right at the end of the eye’s corner.
Be careful to choose the form of an eyebrow, not to give the impression of your face sad, surprised, shocked or angry. If you draw the line of your eyebrows too low at the eye corner that will make your face looks sad. If you draw it too straight that will make your face looks angry.  

Eye make up for small eyes

Eye shadow

For those who have small eyes and wanted to make them look bigger, you can put the eyeliner more visible with a darker color. But if you have big eyes and wanted to make them look smaller, you still can put a less eyeliner on your eyes with the cat eye style and avoid dark colors as your eye shadow. The most important thing on eyeliner is that too much eyeliner especially black color and wrong application can make your face looks older.

Color selection

In making the selection of makeup colors, keep your eyes and lips at the same time highlight. Choose one of them, eyes or lips only. If you choose the eyes as the center attention of your face, then select the color ‘nude’ for the lips. If the lips colored ‘hard’ then use ‘light’ to the eyes color. When you wear dark-colored or patterned scarf crowded, it is advisable to choose soft colors of eye makeup.
Meanwhile, if the light-colored scarf or motive was not too crowded you can choose a slightly darker color to display the beauty of the eyes.
