Unveiling the Hottest Raya Fashion Trends for 2023: Get Ready to Slay This Festive Season!

 Hi Assalamualaikum,

As the festivities of Eid al-Fitr draw closer, the excitement for the latest Raya fashion trends begins to brew. Raya, also known as Hari Raya Aidilfitri, is a time of joy and celebration for Muslims all around the world. It is a time where families come together to share blessings and feast on delicious meals, and what better way to mark the occasion than to dress in the latest Raya fashion? In this blog post, we will explore the top Raya fashion trends for 2023 that are sure to make a statement and leave you feeling stylish and chic. From vibrant colors to bold prints, get ready to elevate your Raya fashion game to the next level.

These are the hottest and most popular fashion trends of Raya in 2023:

Modern Minimals

If you love minimalist designs and neutral colours, then this is the look for you! Minimalist fashion is all about simplicity and elegance. You can expect to see basic silhouettes in simple shapes with minimal accessories and no loud prints on top of your outfit. The focus will be on clean lines and classic shapes instead of embellishments or loud prints that are popular in other types of clothing styles.

Minimalism is also known as 'modern minimalism' because it's a modern take on traditional minimalist fashion trends such as monochromatic ensembles (a single colour scheme), but with more variety than just black & white outfits (e.g., navy blue).


Voluminous Sleeves

Voluminous sleeves are a bold way to add a touch of glamour to your outfit. They're great for all body types, so you don't have to worry about looking like you're drowning in fabric.

To wear voluminous sleeves:

Try pairing them with an off-the-shoulder top or dress. This will help balance out the look and keep it from being too heavy on one side of your body.

If you want to try something even more dramatic than this, wear them over another layer of clothing like leggings or jeans or even light flowy skirts--but make sure not to wear too many layers at once! You don't want the whole thing falling down around your ankles!



Kaftans are comfortable and versatile garments that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Here are some ways you can style a kaftan:

with Skirt Set

Belt it: A belt can add definition and shape to a kaftan, creating a more structured silhouette. You can use a wide belt for a dramatic effect or a thin belt to create a more subtle cinched waist.

Layer it: If you have a sheer kaftan, you can layer it over a tank top or a slip dress for a more modest look. You can also wear a denim jacket or a blazer over a kaftan to give it a more polished look.

Accessorize it: You can dress up a kaftan with statement jewelry, like oversized earrings or a bold necklace. You can also add a scarf or a headwrap to add a pop of color and texture.

Wear it with pants: Kaftans can also be worn as a tunic over pants, creating a chic and comfortable outfit. You can pair a kaftan with skinny jeans, leggings, or palazzo pants.

Dress it up: For a special occasion, you can wear a kaftan with heels and a clutch bag. Look for kaftans with embellishments, like sequins or beads, for a more formal look.

Remember to choose the right fabric and color that matches the occasion, and don't be afraid to experiment with different styles until you find what works best for you.


Classic Kebaya

The classic kebaya is a beautiful and timeless piece of clothing that has been an integral part of Malaysian fashion for centuries. Its intricate embroidery, lace, or beadwork adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any outfit, making it a popular choice for formal occasions such as weddings and religious ceremonies.

Typically made from lightweight materials such as silk or cotton, Kebaya is comfortable to wear in Malaysia's hot and humid climate. Its fitted bodice and flowing skirt create a flattering silhouette for all body types, making it a versatile piece that can be styled in a variety of ways.

For a formal event, pair your classic kebaya with a batik skirt or a pair of tailored trousers, and accessorize with statement jewelry and a clutch. For a more casual look, pair it with denim shorts or jeans and sandals for a chic and effortless style.

The kebaya is one of the most popular items of clothing among Muslim women who want to look stylish during Raya season! The kebaya has been around for centuries and remains popular today because it's versatile enough for any occasion: whether you're going out for dinner with your friends or attending a wedding reception with family members - this long-sleeved dress will surely complete your look no matter where you end up spending your holidays!

Conclusion

With so many different styles available, it can be hard to decide which one is right for you. But don't worry! We've got you covered. If you're looking for something classic and timeless, then kaftan dresses are perfect. If you want something more modern and edgy, then try out the new trend of voluminous sleeves on your next outfit choice (we know they look great). We hope this article has given some insight into what we predict will be popular this festive season - happy styling!

5-Minute Drugstore Makeup Routine: Simple Steps for a Flawless Look


Hi Assalamualaikum

It's been a while! Life has been busy, but I'm excited to be back and sharing my thoughts with you once again. 4 years has passed and now student Aina has evolved to Working Adult Aina! And yes adulting Aina still love to writes so let's catch up! 

Harini I nak share with you guys my everyday simple makeup routine which took me only 5 minit jer. Sesuai sangat untuk gegirls yang malas nak makeup heavy2 tapi nak look flawless pergi kerja.

Primer

A good base always starts with a good primer. For me I used the Rimmel Lasting Matte primer for a good matte base. Texture dia lightweight and senang nak apply. At first texture dia agak pekat tapi bila letak dekat muka tak rasa heavy pun. It gets sticky quite fast so bila I apply foundation terus melekat tak pergi mana mana dah foundation tu. Harga dia pun tak mahal. Everytime sale always sold out sebab primer ni memang best!

Price : RM18-ish






       Concealer

Since I'm working in an air-conditioned room. I tak berapa suka sangat guna foundation. So I usually akan guna concealer to cover up the scars and undereye. This might be a cliché suggestion but I really love the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. Dia bagi that natural finishes even though dia sangat full coverage. Letak sikit je hilang segala - gala parut dekat muka ni. And for sensitive skin like me, dia sangat bagus sbb dia tak irritatekan my skin. Lurvee terukss.

Price: RM35.90





       Set

Setting is essential even if you are not wearing any foundation. You don’t want that concealer to crease and looks like you just stamp on cream under your eye. I use a compact powder with a hint of pigment to set my whole face. My all time favourite is Rimmel Long Lasting Pressed Powder. It also works as a powder foundation. Rasa macam pakai bedak talkum kat muka. And the best thing is concealer kau tak crease pon the whole day.

Price: RM16





          Eyebrow

For eyebrow, the quickest way to do your eyebrow is by using a pencil. I opted out for a double ended pencil where there is a rotating pencil on the other side and a brush on the other side. I would highly recommend the Maybelline Define & Blend Brow Pencil to anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-use brow product. Its versatility, long-lasting formula, and natural-looking results make it a must-have in my makeup routine.

Price: RM45





Eyeshadow

When you think of eyeshadow it’s always the 4-5 colour, tons of brushes and a long hour a blending. Nak pikir pun penat kan? Tapi sebenarnya pakai eyeshadow ni simple je. Kalau dah malas sangat blend je guna jari. Yang penting kau blend. Jangan dok pi letak gitu je tak blend. Seram orang tengok kasar2 macam tu. 

Shade paling biasa I guna for work is usually a neutral brown shade. Now I don't have a specific favourites from drugstores sbb aku suka try2 different kind of palletes. But I would recommend SilkyGirl Full Bloom Shadow Quad untuk beginners. Warna dia usually ada 2 matte and 2 shimmer so korang takyah pening pening kepala nak pilih2 warna pagi pagi nanti.

Ambil je satu shade pakai jari sapu and then ratakan dia make sure takde line2 kasar. Lepas tu kalau nak nampak mata lagi terang terjaga ambiklah shade yang kilat kilat tu and letak dekat tengah. And there you have it. Simple kan?

Price: RM18.80

Mascara


For mascara, I have yet to found my holy grail. Tak tahulah aku yang tak reti pakai mascara ke. Semua sama je pada pandangan aku. Right now I’m using the ESSENCE I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara. It dries very slow so you might want to refrain from sneezing couple minutes after applying it. But the good side is it doesn’t clump and it kind of make my eyelash looks a bit more longer than usual. Nampak tebal sikit la bulu mata aku yang non-existent ni. If I found my one true holy-grail mascara, I might make a dedicated post about this. Wish me luck!

Price: RM19.90


Blush

A blush is a must even in a lazy day. It adds on a hint of colour to your face so you don’t look like you’re dead. (Although I’m probably dead inside.) Haa yang ni aku nak derhaka sikit dari drugstore sebab sekarang ni my new favourite is from Sephora which is Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush. Yes, the one yang orang asyik hype2 kan tu. It's really good! My face looks like a natural flush and tak rasa pun macam aku pakai blusher. Harga dia agak tercekik sikit tapi berbaloi bagi aku sbb you only need like two tiny dots and it last you the whole day! I used the shade Grace because I like the soft pink touch it gives.

Price: RM113


Lipstick

And finally, our last step is for the lips. My favourite is of course the Maybelline Powder Matte in the shade Touch of Nude. I am a bullet lipstick girlie. It has a creamy texture but it finish matte and also feels like powder. In a good way though.  I love it so much tapi dia selalu sold out! Everytime sale kena beli extra takut melepas. But anyone else rasa macam Maybelline dah mahal? Dulu lipstick ni RM20 lebih je now dah RM31.

Price: RM31.90





In conclusion, nak cantik ni mudah je. Tak perlu nak complicated steps yang ambik masa sampai berejam. You alls boleh ikut routine ni or kalau rasa one of the steps dalam ni korang nak exclude pun terpulang anda. Whether you're a busy mom, a student on-the-go, or simply someone who values efficiency, this quick makeup routine will become your go-to for effortless beauty. Remember, the key is to keep it simple, use high-quality products, and practice regularly to perfect your technique. So, give it a try and enjoy looking and feeling your best in no time!
