Summary

Saima creates a festive, wedding-ready look using a gold-and-peach color palette. She starts with pre-curled real-hair extensions, clipping them in to add length and curls. Because her hair is fragile and prone to breakage, she avoids experimenting too much and takes care to blend and conceal the extensions. She finishes the hairstyle with a decorative accessory at the back.

Her makeup routine includes:

• Applying recovery cream for her sensitive skin, then blending foundation with a dabbing motion.
• Using peach blush and brown tones for a warm, fresh base, and applying blush to her eyes as a transition shade.
• Applying concealer around the crease to create a soft base, then setting the makeup with loose powder.
• Adding coppery-gold foil shadow to her lids and a touch of light shimmer, followed by a very thin line of eyeliner and natural false lashes.
• Applying champagne-toned highlighter with a light hand for a subtle sheen.
• Slightly overlining her lips and finishing with matte peach-coral lipstick.
• Setting the finished makeup with setting spray.

Saima suggests the look for wedding guests and festive occasions such as Karva Chauth, as well as Muslim wedding events such as a Walima or Nikah. She notes that the full process takes more than two hours, even if the finished look appears quick.
