Cosmetics manufacturer, Mac, has experienced harsh criticism for posting a tutorial video for a “glamorous Suhoor look”.
Macintosh Cosmetics Middle East posted a video on YouTube this week offering ladies cosmetics tips for Sehri/Suhoor.
The video, titled “Prepare For Suhoor,” highlighted a cosmetics artist applying kohl, eyeshadow and mascara to a lady before she eats the pre-day break supper.
Twitterati clearly went into a free for all and addressed how anybody can even try looking beautiful amidst the night when waking up to eat food is the task itself.
MAC did a whole “glamorous suhoor” look.
Imagine wearing makeup only to go back to sleep.

While it’s normal for people to dress up for Iftar, the vast majority have Sehri in their night wear.
But there were still many who were in support of Mac for coming up with this idea since many people in different countries have Suhoor parties. But still those people are only 10%. Rather than giving tips on how to look good in Suhoor Mac should come with the video of how we can look beautiful during Iftar.
