"Habibi Ya Nour El-Ain"

Translation: "My darling, you are the glow in my eyes"

Here is another Arabic inspired look for all the blog readers that have emailed us requesting more!  I only used Naked pigments for this look and added water for a more dramatic effect.

To create an Arabic look like this at home, you must invest in makeup brushes.  A few of the brushes I used are: Bent Liner, Small Chisel Brush , Angle Liner, Eyelash Definer, and a Chisel Mini Smudger. The smaller the brush is the more precision you will have to create a smokey effect, dramatic wings, and face art.

BLOSSOMING FACE OF THE DAY: KALEIDOSCOPE GLAM

Hey Blossoms,

I am in LOVE with color you all know this! Well today's BLOSSOMING FACE OF THE DAY is packed with it! An amazing duochrome eyeshadow! Duochrome eyeshadows reflect 2 colors and are so amazingly beautiful. I love duochrome eyeshadows. For more popular duochrome eyeshadows think of 2 of my favorites: MAC's Stars & Rockets E/s, MAC's Club E/s There are many duochrome pigments too! Many other cosmetic companies have their own so don't be afraid to experiment and check them out. In this look I used the duochrome E/s, from Wet & Wild's Limited Edition Holiday Palette in Night Elf , it can definitely be a dupe for MAC's Club E/s! Duochrome E/s remind me of a kaleidoscope. I loved kaleidoscopes as a child because as you looked at them the more it would start to look different. So much fun was had just peeking through its little opening and oohing and ahhing at the different shapes and colors! OHHHH the memories! LOL! Now let's turn this childhood past time into a great modern day KALEIDOSCOPE GLAM eye thats frisky, spunky, cool and down right FUN!

BLOSSOMING FACE OF THE DAY: PURPLE PASSION

Hey Blossoms,

Its getting so close to Valentines Day. Many times when you think of love you think of the colors red, pink even white. For some reason various shades of purple pop into my head. When I think of love I automatically think of passion and when I think of passion the color purple pops up instantaneously! PURPLE PASSION! Purples are sexy and mysterious and intense...I love purples. I also used falsies in this makeup look to intensify the look and feel.
