Gold and Black Arabic Eye Make-up Tutorial

Hello my lovelies! I received a request a few weeks ago to do an arabic eye make-up tutorial. Personally, I'm not very fond of very dramatic eye make-up especially when it involves super black, over-the-top eyeliners. And if you aren't aware yet, arabic eye make-up is all about lining, emphasizing the shape of their naturally gorgeous peepers and lush eyelashes. It was a challenge for me to do a dramatic and not-your-everyday look, yet is still wearable and flattering to every eye shape. I chose gold and black because this combo looks very elegant and glamorous. You can even skip the striking eyeliner, do a simple winged one instead and you will still have a beautiful gold and black smoky eye.

These are the products I used:

Urban Decay Honey(gold) and Zero(black w/ silver microparticles) from the Deluxe Shadow Box Palette

MAC Blanc type

MAC Phloof

Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Gel Eyeliner

Bourjois Khol & Contour Eyeliner Pencil

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencil in Eldorado

(not included in the pic)

Urban Decay Primer Potion

YSL Singulier Mascara

Ardell Individual lashes

Ardell lash glue

1. Prime the lid using UDPP. Make sure to apply it evenly.

2. Apply Eldorado eyeliner on the eyelid and blend.

3. Apply Honey eyeshadow on top of the blended eyeliner. If you're wondering what's that white thingy under my eye, I dusted plain old baby powder to make cleaning up of the eyeshadow fallout easier.

4. Add Zero eyeshadow on the outer V.

5. Blend the black eyeshadow using a blender brush and drag it along the crease area. Do a windshield wiper motion to blend the eyeshadow effortlessly.

6. Use Blanc type eyeshadow to soften the black eyeshadow on the crease. Bring it up to the browbone to highlight.

7. Apply Phloof eyeshadow on the inner corner of the eye and only on the arch of the brow to add a bit of shimmer.

8. Draw a thin line under the lower lashline using the eyeliner pencil.

9. Apply black eyeshadow on top of the line to blend it out and to set it as well.

10. Now here's the fun part:) Line your upper lashline and wing it out. Extend the tail towards your temple using your lower lashline as a guide. Do a parallel line on your lower lashline. Apply blanc type eyeshadow on that space between the two lines to highlight it.

11. Curl your lashes, apply mascara and add false lashes. I used 4 individual ones on each eye.

12. Line the rim of your eyes (tightline and then the waterline). Drag both lines along the tear duct and connect them. Flick the tail following the contour of your eye.

The finished look:

This is the first ever requested look that I am posting and I hope she'll like it:) I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and stay tuned for more! Take care and see ya<3
