Here is a fun summer look. Maylin wanted a look that had blue in it and so I decided to pair it with violets and purples. I love the combination of teal and purple!

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 :)

Click for instructions on Kim K. cheeks.

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.

Navy and White Look

Here is another easy makeup look that you can try to do yourself. You just need a Navy Blue eyeliner -I used Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Binge- a dark blue eyeshadow, and shimmery white eyeshadow. Those are the only three colors I used to create this look. I also used a blue mascara on the bottom lashes and a black one on the top lashes. Remember, it's all about blending to create that smoldered effect.
P.S. Navy blue is a great color for brown eyes. It brings out the warmth in the color.

Prom Look- Valentina

May is the month of Proms all around South Florida. Girls want to look extra special on this day and they buy a beautiful dress, get their hair done, and finally they want a gorgeous makeup look so that they can look flawless in all their pictures.
Here we have an example of prom makeup. Valentina just attended her Senior Prom this past weekend and she hired me to do her makeup. She wanted to look like herself, but with a little bit of drama.We decided to go for a gold, bronze, and brown smokey eye and pink nude lips. I used highlighters and bronzers to give a youthful "glow from within" look to her skin. Here is her final look:
