There has been a growing demand for hijab styling from many Muslim brides, so we present you the best looks for Hijab brides.

Maya Beauty By Mehmuna
A timeless look that evokes sublime elegance

One of the most popular options for Muslim brides is a black hijab - its the classic choice that allows you to accessorise with a multitude of styling options. Here, the starkness of the black is alleviated with strands of freshwater pearls and crystal gems. The luminosity of the jewels enhances the elegance of the makeup, which has the eyes as the focus. Highly pigmented jade and olive hues on the lid are framed with slicks of noir liquid liner and a double coat of volumising mascara. A nude, barely-there, lip keeps the focus on the eyes.

Tribal styling and Arabian eyes bring a unique twist to your Big Day

Embrace unconventional patterns for a tribal look that sets you apart from the crowd. This look is the perfect partner for an Abaya or an ornate bridal gown and reflects emerging trends such as the 'turban style hijab'. With many traditions being borrowed from different cultures, it’s a distinctive look for any bride on her wedding day. Arabian-inspired makeup completes the overall theme, with heavily defined eyes and velvet lips creating high-octane drama. Highlighter along the top of the cheeks emphasises delicate bone structure.

Channel the rare beauty and purity of a pearl

A big hit for the Nikkah or registry, complete this look with pearl, crystal and antique gold ornaments for a final effect that channels divine elegance. Under-hijab preparation is essential, and for a look that lasts through the nuptials, gather the hair in high bun and secure with scarves and invisible pins before styling the hijab and veil. Strong sweeps of eyeliner paired with smoulderingly smokey eyes and glitter finishes the look, while a light dusting of blush infuses the cheeks with delicate colour. Finish with a neutral matte lip.

Celebrate cultural heritage with regal style

Red will forever be entwined with Asian weddings, so use the hue as the theme shade for your traditional ceremony, adding elaborate jewellery for a sense of occasion. Dress a lightweight hijab with an intricately decorated dupatta for a majestic look that takes inspiration from the rich cultural history of the Subcontinent. After prepping skin with primer, cream-based eye shadows in amethyst and oynx create an intense smokey eye that is finished with precision strokes of liquid liner. Eyebrows are given more oomph with a pencil.

RR Beauty
Subtle sophistication makes for a beauty look to treasure
Fusing Pakistani and Arabian influences, this look is all about pairing high-impact styling with comfort for a look that reigns supreme all day long. Drape statement jewels across the crown of a simple hijab and secure with pins in the folds of the fabric for showstopping glamour. A hijab look like this calls for a minimal makeup that centres around a flawless base. Sapphire glitter on the bottom lash line brings out tones in the outfit while highlighter and bronzer work in perfect union to create definition.
