Eid Beauty Edit: The Must-Have Products to Glow Through the Festivities

As Eid approaches, the beauty ritual becomes something far more meaningful than routine. It's about stepping into celebration—present, glowing, and ready to embrace the moment.

Whether you're reconnecting with loved ones, hosting a gathering, or simply unwinding after Ramadan, now is the perfect time to indulge in products that nourish, restore, and spark a little joy.

To begin, skin takes center stage. Elemis’ Pro-Collagen collection is the ultimate reset button. The Discovery Cleansing Balm Trio offers a sensorial cleanse that feels both soothing and deeply luxurious, whether you choose classic, rose, or fragrance-free. Add in the Future Revival Serum and Marine Cream SPF 30 for long-lasting hydration that carries you effortlessly from suhoor to soirée.

For daytime protection with skincare prowess, Augustinus Bader’s The Sunscreen SPF 50 is a standout. More than just sun protection, this lightweight, velvety formula uses the brand’s famed TFC8® technology and antioxidant-rich botanicals like Kakadu Plum to strengthen the skin barrier while improving tone and texture. A high-performance must-have for those Eid family photos taken in full sun.

Of course, no beauty edit is complete without Summer Fridays, whose Dream Lip Oil and newly launched Jet Lag™ Eye Patches offer the kind of subtle glam that elevates every Eid ensemble. The Dream Lip Oil—now available in four dreamy shades—infuses lips with a silky glow while delivering serious hydration. Meanwhile, the Jet Lag™ Eye Patches are a lifesaver during this busy season, using caffeine, peptides, and niacinamide to de-puff and refresh tired eyes—perfect prep before makeup or just after a long night of celebration. If you're packing for travel, their Jet Lag™ Essentials Kit is your go-to hydration set, featuring minis of the cult-favorite Jet Lag Mask, Hydration Mist, Serum, and a pair of eye patches—all in travel-ready sizes. Available at Sephora and Apotheca Middle East.

Speaking of radiant finishes, KAYALI’s Fleur Majesty Rose Royale | 31 Eau de Parfum is pure olfactory indulgence. Inspired by the grandeur of roses, the scent opens with juicy pear and peach, unfolds into violet and rose, and finishes with a warm base of vanilla and praline. It’s meant to be worn alone or layered—perhaps with KAYALI’s Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar or Yum Boujee Marshmallow—to craft a scent as dynamic as your mood. Wrapped in a jewel-toned bottle that fades from pink to royal purple, this fragrance feels like Eid in a flacon.

Haircare finds its place too, thanks to the curated Ramadan Guide by Davines. Whether you’re in need of detox, hydration, or color care, their collections (OI, NOUNOU, MOMO) are powered by Italian botanicals and gentle formulas that restore shine and strength. A standout? The Heart of Glass line, designed to keep blonde tones luminous and brass-free, and The Purity Circle mask, perfect for calming post-heat styled hair and scalp buildup.

And when the festivities slow down and it’s time to rest, SLIP’s silk essentials offer a moment of pure, indulgent self-care. Their silk pillowcases, eye masks, and hair ties protect skin and strands while adding a touch of luxury to your beauty sleep. If you’re gift-giving (or self-gifting), they’re a beautiful way to wrap up the holiday with softness and intention.

Lastly, this year, Lush brings a heartfelt touch to the season with its 2025 Eid Collection, designed in collaboration with their in-house Muslim community through the Co-Create programme. Inspired by the beloved blackcurrant flavours of the region, this limited-edition collection includes the soothing Lailah Soap, brightening Basma Body Scrub, nourishing Noor Lip Balm, and the fruity Salam Shower Gel. For those who love gifting, the Crescent Glow Gift Set and Blooming Good Deeds Knot Wrap, featuring artwork by Lebanese artist Nancy Kouta, are beautiful expressions of thoughtfulness. And for scent lovers, Oudhess Shower Gel—with its heady notes of oudh, jasmine, and rose—is a warm, luxurious homage to Eid traditions.

This season, every step of your Eid beauty ritual can be a chance to slow down, reconnect, and radiate from within. With skincare that soothes, makeup that enhances, haircare that restores, and fragrance that tells a story, this is your invitation to step into celebration with grace, glamour, and glowing confidence. Because after a month of spiritual grounding, you deserve to rise into Eid beautifully.
