A hint of rosy blush, perfectly groomed brows and lip balm are a go-to casual look for the holy season. Start with a clean and moisturized face. Apply primer if desired and instead of doing a full face of foundation, apply a sheer skin tint like Rimmel InstaFlawless Skin Tint. Cover imperfections with Boi-ing Brightening Concealer. Set with 12

CoverFX Perfect Setting Powder for a translucent finish. For a rosy, natural look apply Dior Addict Lip Tattoo in Natural Cherry on lips and cheeks. Finish off by brushing your brows up. Insta-Flawless!
A more sophisticated look, the key here is smooth, glowing skin. Apply Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation to a primed and moisturized face. Cover up imperfections with YSL All-hours concealer. Apply Cover FX Perfect Setting Powder all over for a smooth, glowing finish. To glow some more, apply Anastasia Beverly Hills Amrezy Highlighter (it’s a light brilliant gold), strategically on key points of your face. To capture the color of rosebuds on your lips, try Givenchy Rogue Interdit in Rogue Desirable. To get that flush of color without overdoing it, try The Body Shop’s Honey Bronze Bronzer. You can also brush the color on your eyelids. Finally, play up your lashes with YSL Vinyl Couture Mascara—a lengthening mascara.

amadan is a celebration of faith, and in practicing it involves fasting throughout the whole month. As hard as people already think of sticking to their usual diets, Ramadan in itself puts faith forward rather than our own self-indulgence or care. In this month, usual meals are divided to only two on the start and end of each day. Being thus, to adapt our diets to this is crucial if we want to maintain our wellness and health. Children are

Water, water, water
It is common knowledge that to drink enough water in a day is key to health, more so during the Ramadan. Water would be your closest ally this month, not only to restore the fluids lost because of the heat, but
Bahrain101.com | June 2018
also to fill the stomach and avoid the gnawing of hunger. Drinking sweet drinks would help in the needed energy and additional calories if fatigued within the day. Always avoid drinking caffeine and alcohol, both of which causes urination which leads to the need of more water intake and is acidic especially to an empty stomach.
Suhoor
The first meal of the day during Ramadan is important. It is the only meal that will supply yourself with nutrients within the working day. Suhoor should be a complete meal that would provide until Iftar. Proteins are one of the most effective ways to gain and maintain nutrients. Protein rich foods usually take longer to digest which helps in fending off hunger for food at the early hours of noon. Eggs are an excellent source of protein and a staple for

morning alongside meat, chicken, and fish (as long as you avoid deep-frying them). High-fibre foods, like fruits, vegetables, brown rice, or whole wheat bread, is helpful in maintaining fullness and smooth digestion of a heavy meal. Dates, frequently mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah, are rich in fibre and full of nutrients which are perfect to include in your suhoor meal. Dairy products are also encouraged, yoghurt and milkshakes or a cup of milk as beverage will be the perfect end to your suhoor meal.
Feature
Keep in mind to avoid sweets and refined foods, usually white bread, cereal, or waffles and pastries are common breakfast meals.
Iftar
The last meal of the day during Ramadan is a more celebratory gathering and feast. Iftar, or the 22

breaking of the fast, is spent among friends, family, and colleagues. Compared to Suhoor, Iftar offers fewer restrictions and more on indulging after a long day of fasting. A day of fasting will leave our stomach sore and acidic and cannot be served a variety of meals on the get go. But with the proper opening meals to start with, we are left to indulge on the delicious Iftar feast.
meals we are now ready to take. The suggested things to eat are similar to the suhoor. Consuming fibre rich foods will help in the digestion of the Iftar meal as we sleep. Remember to not overindulge in sweets and oily/ fried foods, these are okay as long as taken in moderation and balanced in the whole meal. As much as we may want to eat as much and as fast to catch up with our hunger, remember
Allah is with those who restrain themselves - Quran 16: 128
Eating a small portion of sweet fruits or pastries are good for we have low blood sugar levels at the end of the fast, clearing away any feeling of dizziness or headaches.

This would be followed by soups for they are easily consumed and is similar to the viscosity of liquids, softly transitioning our stomach’s from liquids to the solid
to slowly eat the food we take and be careful on the portions we take during the breaking of the fast. Overeating and overindulging will give rise to gastric problems, giving our stomach a hard time not only to catch up from the fast of the day but also to digest the food we have taken through the night. Lastly, Iftar is a celebration meant to be shared. So share your meal to any Muslim who is fasting, be generous.
