Tips for Long-Lasting Makeup and Comfortable Styling for Ramadan Activities

JAKARTA - Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr are always filled with various moments of togetherness, ranging from joint fasting events to silaturahmi with family and friends. In the midst of the crowded agenda, many people still want to look fresh, neat, and confident throughout the day.

To answer this need, a beauty workshop was held which featured professional makeup artist Bubah Alfian and fashion styling expert Dare Image.

This activity is part of the "Raya for Every You" campaign which presents inspiration for makeup and styling that is practical, comfortable, yet elegant to accompany various activities during Ramadan.

This workshop was initiated by Guardian which is part of PT DFI Retail Nusantara Tbk. Managing Director of Guardian Indonesia, Anna Hull, explained that this activity aims to help people find a style that suits their respective characters.

"Through Raya for Every You, Guardian wants to support every individual to become the best version of themselves with personalized solutions. As the only health and beauty retailer in its category that has halal certification, Guardian is committed to providing products that are safe, reliable, and relevant to customer needs," said Anna when met at PIM 3, Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta on Sunday, March 8, 2026.

"Through collaboration with experts in this beauty workshop, we provide practical guidance so that customers can explore the look that represents themselves while carrying out the Ramadan agenda," he continued.

In addition to beauty workshops, Guardian also presents various interesting activities during Ramadan through programs such as Guardian Raya On The Go and Wellness Journey. These programs present an experience that combines beauty and health in one series of activities.

As a beauty and wellness advisor, Guardian also wants to be a place that can help people meet their self-care needs ahead of Eid al-Fitr.

In the workshop session, Bubah Alfian explained that the key to long-lasting makeup lies in skin preparation and the selection of the right makeup tools. According to him, the first important step is to prepare the skin with a moisturizer according to the type of skin and use sunscreen to maintain the skin barrier.

In addition, the use of clean and quality makeup brushes also plays an important role so that the complexion results can stick evenly and minimize oxidation.

In the practice session, Bubah Alfian demonstrated the layering and blending techniques using the Guardian x Aeris Glow in Merlot 2.0 brush set. This brush has a soft but dense fur and an ergonomic design that helps distribute the product more precisely.

This series comes with an elegant and modern look, using a sturdy long handle, vegan material and cruelty-free. The brush series has even become one of the best-selling makeup brushes at Guardian since 2025.

"As a MUA, I always look for a brush that is precise, comfortable to use, and able to control makeup products well. The collaboration between Aeris and Guardian in the Glow in Merlot 2.0 series, in my opinion, has met these needs, both for professional and beginner needs," explained Bubah Alfian.

"The blending results are smoother, coverage can be built without looking heavy, and it is still comfortable to use for both formal and casual looks," he added.

Completing the beauty session, the Dare Image team represented by Ruthie Pasaribu and Susan presented a styling session themed "Raya Makeover: The Perfect Style for Your Raya Look". In this session, they showcased a collection of clothing from modest fashion designer Vivi Zubedi.

The discussion raised was not only about trends, but also styling approaches based on body proportions and tone analysis. Participants are invited to understand how to choose colors that match the undertone of the skin, adjust the fashion pieces to the body shape, to the technique of layering modest that is still light and modern without looking too thick.

"When mobility is high, comfort is the top priority. Therefore, I always advise clients to choose pieces that are clean with the right structure, breathable materials, and color palettes that elevate personal character. Modest fashion today is not about heavy layering, but about balance between coverage, proportion, and comfort," said Ruthie Pasaribu, Fashion Styling Expert Dare Image.
