⭐️Our lovely Saida caught up with Space NK to discuss how she approaches
her beauty routine and her top tips for hijab- friendly make-up ⭐️
“Being a Muslim woman is obviously an important part of my identity,
but it’s only one part of me,I have other important hobbies and interests
outside of my religion, one of them being beauty!”
In this interview Saida discusses the importance of
skincare and knowing what products work best for you:
"My top tip for anyone with dry skin is to apply
your moisturiser while your face is still a bit damp.
I’m not sure where I picked this up from, but it works, a
nd I always feel like my skin has absorbed the product better."
Saida also talks about how she navigates wearing make-up in a hijab:
"Wearing the hijab, I find myself naturally focusing
on certain features, like my eyes and my base.
Luckily those are the two areas where my makeup
application skills are pretty good too. Over the years
I’ve learnt some good tricks, including knowing not to
put foundation around the perimeter of my face.
This can end up transferring onto your hijab, which is
very inconvenient. Instead, I start with a light layer on
the centre of my face and blend outwards. You can always
touch up any problem areas with your concealer afterwards"
