Arabian Nights Makeup

This is a look that I have had in mind for a few days now - I wanted to do a modern spin on the Arab makeup style and incorporate some color without it being overbearing. I used cool toned brown and gray shades on the top lid, and teal on the bottom to create an interesting mix of neutrals and colors. The dramatic winged liner is off-set with white for contrast. Since the eyes are the dominant part of this look, I went for a natural shade on the lips, although you could combine this with a bright lip as well if you want to go for extra drama.

    hallo julia! wow, das ist eins der schönsten makeups, das ich je gesehen habe!
    dass deine technik ein traum ist, braucht man dir ja nicht mehr zu sagen, aber da ich deinen blog schon länger verfolge, staune ich über deine immer präsente kreativität! wie kommst du bloss immer auf diese aufregenden farben und techniken?! das geht natürlich weit über mein können und werkzeug hinaus, insofern als tutorial für mich ungeeignet, aber es ist wunderschön anzusehen!

    danke fürs posten,

    deine namensvetterin aus flensburg deutschland,
    julia

    Julia, mich würde interessieren, ob du die Fotos digital nachbearbeitest? ...das wirkt ungemein perfekt, auch in der Nahaufnahme!
    Würde mich freuen, wenn du das kurz kommentiert.

    Danke (:

  13. I love what the white eyeliner does for the look. There are so many Arabic makeup looks on youtube, but the white touch on yours make it so unique!

  15. I've been following your tutorial channel on youtube for a little over a year now, just subscribed to your vlog and now your blog. This look is beautiful, and beautiful on you! Congrats on the successful weight drop (to me, LOSS indicates a chance of it returning, when you DROP your weight, its and active conscious elimination rather than an "accident" as loss assumes)

    Anyhow, thanks for your wonderful tutorials and keep them coming!

  16. this is fantastic. I'm going to try it with another color other than brown...because I am already brown...and see how it works. Thanks Julia,

  24. hi julia, how are you doing :)?
    i have fun while watching your tutorials so thanx for sharing that whit us :D
    acutely i'm an Arabic girl and we do hate this kind of over looks !
    we are fighting to make them disappear :D
    cuz it's suitable for MASQUERADE party not as an every day or regular party look :/

    in arabic we used to call this kind of make up (emsah wa arbah)
    which means Scratch & Win :P

    btw yours was nice and lovely ,
    what am talking about is this kind of photos that reflect bad image about arabic women taste which is not fear :(
    like this

    and

    ...... etc

    thanx again and i hope you do an original arabic make up based on black eyeliner and sandy shades without rainbow colors :D
