Eid Beauty Guide: How to pair butter yellow outfits with soft makeup
Butter yellow is having a serious moment — from runways to summer wardrobes, it's officially the colour of the season. But how do you pair your makeup to this dreamy pastel? Think muted elegance: soft pink eyes, peachy nude lips, and radiant skin that feels effortless yet polished. Here's your step-by-step guide to nailing the look for your Eid Al Adha celebrations.
The secret to flawless makeup? Skincare first. Before any brush touches your face, skincare is key. The smoother the base, the better the finish.
Exfoliate the night before using a gentle chemical exfoliant — think 10 per cent Mandelic Acid or 2 per cent Salicylic Acid — to refine texture and visibly minimise pores. This ensures your makeup glides on with an airbrushed effect.
Makeup routine: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Moisturise + Prep
Start with a cult-favourite moisturiser like Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré. This iconic formula is a go-to for makeup artists worldwide thanks to its hydrating, non-greasy finish.
Step 2: Add a Dewy Glow
Follow with a strobe cream to give your skin that lit-from-within glow. MAC's updated range now includes shades for every skin tone — the finish is fresh, radiant, and universally flattering.
Step 3: Prime Selectively
Apply a pore-minimising primer only around the nose and cheeks for a buttery-smooth texture where you need it most. Top picks: Huda Beauty or Benefit POREfessional.
Eyes: Subtle pink with a hint of peach
The goal here is soft, romantic eyes that pair beautifully with pastel tones.
Start with an eye primer to keep colour locked in and crease-free.
Use a soft peach transition shade in the crease to blend seamlessly with your pink tones.
Add a muted mauve to the outer corner for dimension and depth.
Highlight the inner corners to brighten the eye.
Finish with brown eyeliner and mascara to keep the look soft and peachy.
Pro tip: Curl your lashes before applying mascara to open up the eyes.
Top picks: Make Up For Ever or Benefit mascaras work wonders.
After the eye look is complete, clean up any fallout with micellar water — then it's time for base.
Base: Fresh, sheer, and summery
Step 4: Go Sheer
A lightweight, sheer foundation gives your skin that second-skin finish — perfect for this understated look.
Step 5: Conceal Strategically
Use a concealer one shade lighter under the eyes and for spot correction only where needed.
Step 6: Cream Blush, Always
To maintain the peachy theme, opt for a coral or peach-pink cream blush.
Top picks: Inglot or Natasha Denona have excellent formulas.
Step 7: Set Only Where Needed
Dust a translucent powder over the T-zone to mattify without dulling your glow.
Top picks: Laura Mercier or Huda Beauty setting powders.
Finishing touches
Step 8: Skip the Contour
Instead of harsh contours, use a cream or powder bronzer for a soft, sun-kissed warmth.
Step 9: Highlight Where It Catches
Use a champagne or rose gold highlighter on the bridge of your nose, cheekbones, cupid's bow, and chin. Apply with a fan brush for a naturally dispersed glow.
Top picks: Bobbi Brown's Pink Glow or Benefit's Cookie Highlighter.
Step 10: Lock It All In
A dewy setting spray like Inglot's Illuminising Face Mist seals the look while enhancing glow. Mist evenly across the face, then use a handheld fan for a quick dry-down.
Lips & Brows
Lips: A peach-pink lipstick or coral nude topped with a clear gloss brings freshness and ties the whole look together.
Brows: Keep it natural by filling in with a dark brown powder or shadow to maintain softness and definition.
This look is all about balance — soft tones, glowing skin, and a touch of colour that complements the season's brightest trend. Whether you're dressing up for festive feast or golden hour selfies, these subtle touches will keep you looking as fresh and luminous as butter yellow feels.

UAE: Drawing room, Umrah wish among gifts to 22 children with chronic diseases in RAK
Twenty two children with chronic diseases in Ras Al Khaimah got their wishes fulfilled as part of the 'Make-A-Wish' Foundation. The event aimed to "give hope to children and share their dreams, no matter how simple they may seem." The event was held at the Ras Al Khaimah Celebrations Centre in Al Burairat, in collaboration with the Basma Emirates Association for Chronic and Humanitarian Diseases. Some of the children's wishes included electronic devices, an advanced gaming computer, drawing rooms, a gold set, and a wish to perform the Umrah pilgrimage. The children's families expressed their deep gratitude and appreciation for this initiative. They emphasised that such memories will remain in their hearts, and that moral and humanitarian support is no less important than medical treatment. Sheikh Mohammed bin Kayed Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Ras Al Khaimah Department of Economic Development, said "These moments embody the human values instilled in us by our founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God rest his soul in peace. Our wise leadership continues to instill these values by supporting childhood and honoring innocence and hope." The event was organised by the Al Basma Volunteer Team, the schools of the Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Charitable Educational Foundation, the Red Crescent Authority branch, the representative office of the Ministry of Health and Community Protection, the Emirates Club, Kudo Electronic Services, and Al Bukhaiti Media Services. This humanitarian initiative was supported by businessman Fahad Mohammed Al Shirawi, Chairman of the Ras Al Khaimah Celebrations Centre. The ceremony was attended by Mahra Mohammed Bin Sarai, Chairperson of the Emirates Smile Association for Chronic and Humanitarian Diseases, Hani Al Zubaidi, CEO of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and a number of officials and guests.

Aid group denies delivering drugs to Gaza
A US aid group has denied claims that Gazans have found drugs in donated bags of flour, amid fears of a deliberate attempt to harm them. Opioid pills have been discovered four times in recent days, according to the Hamas -run Government Media Office in Gaza. It said the flour sacks were distributed by the private US and Israel -backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), whose aid deliveries have been marred by violence. The drug in question is Oxycodone, a strong painkiller similar to morphine. "We strongly condemn these acts, which are clearly aimed at further dismantling Palestinian society and plunging it into the mire of addiction, social problems, and collapse,' media office director Ismail Al Thawabti told The National. The foundation denied what it said were fabricated reports. It said bags of flour delivered to Gaza were commercially produced and not packaged by GHF staff. Israel, which heavily restricts entry to Gaza for aid lorries, says the GHF is a way to bring in supplies without Hamas getting hold of them. However, officials in Gaza say hundreds of people have been killed in chaotic scenes while attempting to collect food from the foundation. One Gaza resident, Mundhir Ubaid, said his wife discovered three strange pills inside a bag of flour he brought back from a US aid centre. "The moment I held them, I felt something was wrong," Mr Ubaid, 32, told The National. "I didn't know exactly what they were, but I took them to the nearest security checkpoint,' said Mr Ubaid, who has four children and lives at Al Bureij refugee camp. 'An anti-narcotics officer immediately recognised them and said they were among the most dangerous drugs.' He said authorities asked him to bring all the flour bags he had collected, and found two similar pills in another sack. 'The occupation is trying to destroy our social fabric and eliminate us in this horrific way,' he said. Mr Al Thawabti said authorities had verified the presence of narcotic pills inside some of the flour bags. He called it "a heinous crime targeting the health of civilians and the fabric of Palestinian society.' 'We call on citizens to remain vigilant and inspect aid packages, and to immediately report any suspicious substances found in what we now call the 'American death traps'," he said. Approached by The National, a GHF representative said the reports were "fake news and absurd". In a separate online post the foundation dismissed the claims as a "Hamas-backed social media campaign". "The flour we distribute is commercially packaged and not produced or handled by GHF staff. We have safety protocols that include any box of aid that has been opened prior to distribution can't be given out," it said. "Any aid that looks tampered with doesn't get distributed." Doctors in Gaza are alarmed by the claims. Hossam Hamouda, a Palestinian physician in Gaza, said the presence of Oxycodone poses a grave risk to public health. He warned that unsupervised consumption could lead to respiratory failure, unconsciousness, hallucinations, and, if taken in large quantities, death. The drug is typically prescribed for severe pain after an operation or a serious condition such as cancer, but is also abused as an illegal narcotic. 'This is a moral crime committed against a starving population,' Dr Hamouda said. A shortage of medical supplies in Gaza has compounded civilian woes during the war. The World Health Organisation said last week it had delivered a first batch since early March, including reserves of blood and plasma. Separately, a few dozen aid lorries entered northern Gaza last week and 'Hamas had no role in the security arrangements', said Mukhtar Salman Al Mughani, a senior tribal leader and member of the Higher Committee for Tribal Affairs, told The National. Israel was quick to accuse Hamas of stealing goods though and aid distribution was blocked except for the GHF.

Review: Night of Champions proves Saudi Arabia is now central to WWE storytelling
Once considered flashy one-offs with little bearing on the broader WWE universe, events in Saudi Arabia have evolved into major narrative milestones. That shift was undeniable at Night of Champions in Riyadh – a high-stakes showcase packed with title changes, dramatic twists and career-defining moments. WWE first came to Saudi Arabia in 2018 with The Greatest Royal Rumble, a spectacle that felt disconnected from weekly programming. For years, these shows were largely self-contained – big matches with little consequence. But Night of Champions made clear that the kingdom is no longer only a stopover. It's a crucial part of WWE's future. Rivalries reached their boiling point. Championships changed hands. And some of the industry's biggest stars delivered moments that will shape the company's direction for months, if not years, to come. It was also a clear marker of what's ahead – with more premium events confirmed for Saudi Arabia, and rumours swirling that WrestleMania itself may be headed to the region. The night's biggest moments The event opened with a charged showdown between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. The crowd set the tone, singing along to both entrance themes and erupting for every finisher like it was a World Cup final. Rhodes ultimately emerged victorious and was crowned King of the Ring – a title that now grants him a SummerSlam match against John Cena to reclaim the championship he lost at WrestleMania. One of the night's standout matches followed – a brutal street fight between Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez. With chairs, tables and even commentary desks coming into play, the two pushed each other to their limits. From the first bell, the Riyadh crowd was invested, and Ripley's climactic finisher from atop a table brought the house down. Fan-favorite Sami Zayn then faced Karrion Kross, entering the arena wearing a Saudi red ghutra. Zayn – Syrian-Canadian and long beloved by Aaudiences – battled from underneath before landing a dramatic Helluva Kick to score the win and send the crowd into a frenzy. Other key results saw Solo Sikoa, aided by his Bloodline stable, defeat cousin Jacob Fatu to claim the United States Championship. Jade Cargill overcame returning legend Asuka to win Queen of the Rin g. A history-making main event The main event – CM Punk vs John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship – carried emotional weight beyond just the gold. With Cena's retirement looming and a 15-year rivalry between the two at stake, this match was billed as their final chapter. Once the face of WWE, Cena has leaned into his villain era in recent months. Aligning with The Rock, he's turned against his fans. Punk, by contrast, remains the perennial outsider – a polarising figure whose real-life tensions with the company only deepen his appeal. Their match-up was framed as a battle of yin and yang – opposing but intertwined forces. As the match wore on, the searing Riyadh heat took a visible toll. Both men slowed, but the story only grew more complex. Cena, in a moment of desperation, reached for his championship belt – a familiar cheating tactic – only to pause, swayed by the crowd's disapproval. It was a flash of his former self, though fleeting. Just as the tension peaked, chaos erupted. Seth Rollins and his Paul Heyman–led faction teased a Money in the Bank cash-in, only to be stopped by Zayn and Penta, further blurring allegiances. After the dust settled, Cena and Punk embraced in what seemed a final show of mutual respect – until Cena struck with a surprise finisher to retain his title. Punk's apology and the new landscape The night also featured a rare off-ring moment of reflection. During a fan Q&A, Punk was asked by a Saudi fan to apologise for a controversial tweet he made years ago. He obliged with sincerity: 'Mohammed, I sincerely apologise to you and all of Saudi Arabia,' Punk said. 'It had nothing to do with this country – I was crabby and tweeted something at The Miz. I've apologised to him, and now I'm apologising to you," said CM Punk. Triple H, WWE's chief content officer, praised Punk's words during the post-show press conference, calling it a sign of personal growth and a recognition of Saudi Arabia's increasing significance in the wrestling world. What's next for WWE in the kingdom With Night of Champions, WWE has firmly cemented Saudi Arabia as a major player in its global strategy. What were once glorified exhibition matches have become crucial beats in ongoing storylines, with ramifications felt across weekly programming. Fuelled by dedicated local fans and growing regional audiences, the kingdom's wrestling scene is thriving. Netflix's global broadcast deal has only accelerated this momentum, making events more accessible than ever. Next up? The 2025 Royal Rumble is already confirmed for Saudi Arabia. But louder still are the rumours – WWE is reportedly considering a second WrestleMania next year – not only in Las Vegas, but in Saudi Arabia too. If Night of Champions was any indication, the kingdom is ready. And this time, the rest of the wrestling world is paying attention.
