Five Hair Colors to try this Holiday season


The Qu'ran states that it is permissible to dye your hair, as long as it is not dyed black. It is also acceptable to dye graying hair. The winter season is a great time to experiment with hair color. Remember to use dyes that are pure. Here are five hair colors to try this winter season. Even though hair is covered, your family will love the new color when you reveal it. by Jasmine Roziers


Ombre: This trend is not quite gone yet, but it is still a refreshing color. It frames the face with the fading color. 

Silver: For those of you who are daring and edgy enough, silver hair has made a comeback. Before women were dying their gray, now they are keeping it. 

Chocolate highlights: For those of you who want a subtle change, chocolate highlights are perfect against dark brown hair. 


Caramel blond: It is quite the feat to go from brunette to blond, but this transition makes it easier. The blond is not too bright and still carries some brown in it. 

Auburn: Sometimes when going into a salon, people often request brunette and blond shades, but they always forget Auburn. The reddish-brown is a unique color that any brave soul could achieve.

How to Apply Neat-Looking Makeup

While some believe Muslim women should not wear makeup, it is a growing fad within the community. Here are some tips to make the makeup experience perfect and neat:

1. Apply a liquid foundation with an angled makeup sponge over blemishes, dark spots, or uneven skin to make the skin look smooth, light, and healthy.



2. For an even more smooth look, apply a concealer, which comes in the form of sticks, wands, or tubes, over problem areas and cover with a loose powedered cover up.



3. Eye makeup is key to a perfect look. Start with a light color and apply from the lash line to the eyebrow. With a medium color, apply from the lash line to the middle of the eyelid, and with a dark color, apply along the lash line to accentuate the eyes.



4. For an additional standout look, add a line of very dark and bold eye liner along the lash line on the top eyelid.

5. Mascara will make or break the perfect look. For great eyelashes, start with an eyelash curler, and add one layer of horizontal mascara. Once dry, apply mascara to the base of the eyelashes by holding the mascara brush vertically along the eyelashes.



6. Last, but not least, lipstick and lip gloss. Lip stick will be the first to be applied on the whole area of the lips. Lip gloss comes next over the lip stick starting from the middle of the lips out to the outer edge.



Following these steps will make for a perfect look.
