Katb Kitab & Fatiha makeup ideas
Soft, elegant looks for one of the most intimate celebrations — and how to choose the right one for your dress and the time of day.
By Rama Shabaneh, makeup artist in Amman
The short answer
The best Katb Kitab and Fatiha makeup is soft and close to your skin: a fresh, glowing base rather than heavy contour, neutral eyes and a rosy lip for daytime, a little more definition and a deeper lip for evening, and a lip colour chosen with your dress.
Glowing skin first
Katb Kitab photographs are close and personal, so a fresh, glowing base matters more than heavy contour. Light layers keep the skin looking like skin.
Daytime or evening?
For a daytime Fatiha, soft neutral eyes and a rosy lip feel fresh in natural light. For an evening Katb Kitab, a little more definition on the eyes and a deeper lip hold up under warm indoor lighting.
Match the lip to the dress
White and pastel dresses love soft pinks and nudes; deeper colours can carry a richer berry or brick lip. Send Rama a photo of your dress and she will balance the whole look around it.
