Arabic Inspired Makeup


Recently for a photo shoot the inspiration was Arabic eye makeup - dark, mysterious eyes with winged tips, strong brows, and intense lids... so beautiful!


The eyeliner was laid down pencil first on the upper and lower lashline then liquid on the upper lashline(Duet eyeliner). The inner corner was brought to a sharp point to really emphasize the almond shape of the model's eyes. After that the lid was packed with a mix of dark graphite shadow and a midnight blue. The crease was carved out following the contour of the browbone finishing with wing tips. Just under the brow a sheer wash of shimmery snowy white enhanced the drama.


The cheeks were swathed in a soft peach blush and highlighted with a soft white gold beauty powder. A juicy orange Bijou Beam gloss on the lips made it all pop.


Always a fun evening look - make it your own with whatever color suits your mood!


Until next time...
