Colorful Arabic Makeup

Time for another Arabic Makeup shoot!
This time I created this Domari Gypsy Belly Dancer inspired look as requested by a blog reader.I used Naked pigments in many different vibrant colors to create this fun look. I used my homemade Mixing Medium to blend the pigments in order to make the color pop even more.

Blue Again?


I guess it's no secret by now that I love blue. What can I say? I have a soft spot for blue eyeshadows. Here we have a blue smokey eye. Remember to keep the rest of your makeup light and natural when wearing blue so that you don't end up looking like you time traveled from the 80s. :)

As you can see I decided to make it more wearable for daytime. Did I mention that I look nothing like Kim and that I cannot pull of her "sexy face?" I just can't go there! However, that does not mean I can't have fun copying her makeup :)

Here is how you can get Kim Kardashian inspired cheekbones. Having her bone structure sure helps, but for those of us who don't, we can do the following.

1. Apply a mat Bronzer on the hollows of your cheeks. (This is the area right under your cheek bones.)
2. Now apply your blush diagonally right along your cheekbones avoiding the apples of your cheeks (where you would  normally apply blush.)
3. Now grab a highlighter, you can also use a light shimmery eyeshadow, and apply it on your temples all the way to the apples of your cheeks.
4. Blend it all together and you are done.

This is the best picture I could find in my camera of the blush. The flash in my camera washed out a lot of the color, but you can kind of get the idea:


Have fun creating your own version of this or any other Kim Kardashian look.
