Without trying to toot my own horn, I personally think this is one of the best looks I have done to date. Recently I've been more adventurous and trying out some Arabic makeup styles, and this one is a bit more technically advanced than the green Arabic eye look I did before. I used THIS (CLICK HERE)picture as an inspiration, then adjusted it a bit to my own taste and changed the colors. If you're just starting out with makeup, this look might be a bit too difficult to do; but then again, you won't ever improve at makeup if you don't challenge yourself! I honestly never thought I could pull this off, but I did, so in a way this look was a milestone in honing my skills. This tutorial on Youtube shows you how to wrap the head scarf, also known as hijab.
Products Face: Revlon Colorstay foundation in Ivory, Ben Nye concealer wheel SK-II, 28 blush palette from eBay Eyes: Urban Decay Primer Potion, Covergirl loose powder (for catching fallout), 88 eyeshadow palette (matte & satin finish), L'Oreal liquid eyeliner, MAC Brows in Spiked and a bit of black eyeshadow, black gel eyeliner from eBay, Maybelline white kajal pencil, NYX white eyeshadow, false lashes from eBay, Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara Lips: NYX round lipstick in Georgia, MAC Lipglass in clear
awesome job, this definitely took some skillz...i'm going to try an arabic look too, would you mind if i did it as a video response since you inspired me?
I have a question about using tape (like you did in this tutorial) to get sharp edges. Do you put on your foundation first? If so, how do keep the foundation from being removed by the tape while you're doing your eyes? Would something like Ben Nye final seal stop the tape from removing the foundation? Thanks!!!
Ren: That's no problem, post a video response if you want :)
Amber: Yes I apply foundation first and sometimes it does remove a little bit when you take the tape off. I just go over the area again with a cream concealer using a precise concealer brush.
This look is just amazing! I really liked the arabic eyes with green but this one I really love. I hope you don´t mind that I tried to do this look but with other colors and post it on my blog. I clearly say that you are my inspiration and also linking to your blog.
Gorgeous & Stunning. ^_^ Love it. U look awesome in that hijab too. ^_^ I have to learn that. & also....I cant wait to have my 88pallette since it havent arrived yet. But i'm definitely going to try this out. Good job. I adore ur works. ^_^
beautifull :) i love all your looks,if i have to pick just one,i would be in trouble,because they are all soooo gorgeous!you excel yourself all the time :)
ha ha oh man, i'm glad you didn't recreate the lips in that picture you used as a reference. keep up with the crazy adventurous looks! i can only watch so many more videos on how to do a smokey eye before i'll be able to do them in my sleep. (that of course is a reference to all YouTube makeup channels)
This look is amazing. Everything about it is flawless, the colors, and everything. I love how you can appreciate arabic styles, that is very cool of you. You are so honest and sweet at the same time. It is so nice of you to make all these tutorials for people. :) You're a beautiful person inside and out. Kudos<3
Wow, that is beautiful!! Love the colors you chose, and the eyeliner is gorgeous. I would love to try that. You photos are always flawless, and your makeup is inspiring.
wow so beautiful, i want to learn how to put on myself(And to my models as a photographer) make up like this, cause the ones i make on my own are mostly like paintings on people hehe.
i would like to ask you though smthng, ive heard that its color eye, suits different colors in make up, is that true? so would this make up for example suit light brown eyes?
I have watched many of your video's and though i am not a makeup artist u have truly inspired me...btw i love the head scarf on you and think you are gorgouse!! <3
I seen your videos on youtube, and this is how I found your blog. I first want to congratulate you do an excellent job and I need to know, now I want to ask your help, I would like to make up for an event like LADY | Gaga Paparazzi video in, but not the makeup that goes dark at first, but rather in the last minutes of the video, brings the lips when black and yellow costume, but hey I tried to do has worked, we would greatly appreciate your help!
Well my best friend recommended me to your videos and I just have to thank her because your tutorials are the best!! I just wanted to ask if in one of your tutorials or on your blog you could share with us what the names of the songs you play are?? If you could that would be great! Thanks

Wow, this is amazing. I am 23 years old and I have no idea how to apply makeup LOL. Anyways, you are awesome at what you do, I love watching your videos. I'm hoping to get some makeup and try some of the "easier" looks :)
It's great to see a site for women that actually is respectable and informative. You have done a service. I have sent links to this and your YouTube posts to all my friends, their kids [who have daughters old enough] and anyone else I can think of. You deserve it!
I am crazy about your make-up. I have seen a lot of but your is just wonderful and amazing! I like your make-up and your nails too :). I like you and your oriental music.Can you tell me what is the name of this melody, artist from your video? pls. Wish you the best!
Marhaba! As a European and Lebanese woman, in the cosmetology industry, your work is spectacualar. Many Americans do not understand the art of Arab make-up. Your tutroials are fabulous, and the hijab was very nice. In Lebanon it is not common, in the rest of the region it is, very intuitive and beautiful. Mabrouklations ! Gigi Masri-Ghibon
You really have those doe eyes to pop this look. It is so stunning, never seen anything like it. How bold to make the bottom line go down like that! The hijab looks chic.
Hey Julia..OMG you do some outstanding work when it comes to make up...I personally like this one..I've never seen anything like this before and I'm surely ganna use it sometime..thanks for sharing all your beauty tips with your viewers..its very helpful for us women..you take care and I'll keep on watching all your art work..
Awesome makeup tutorial! You are a very talented makeup artist! I have a question though, what brand is your 88 eyeshadow palette, and where did you buy it from? Thanks for any information you can provide!

This look is amazing. It's bold, daring, & sexy. I tried it out (with my own twist) and it came out pretty well. However, your version is just unbeatable! Great job!
LOVE the look!!! just looked at youtube and searched for a dramatic pink and black eye-shadow makeup ideas. And this look is sooo great! definitely will try it on myself. Love your blog and posts! :)
OMG! I have been trying to do a smokey eye for ever without success.. you are right btw! this is one of the most beautiful looks you have created. i love how the eyeshadow gradually changes from black to pink with out any lines!! it looks airbrushed. i tried it and it worked - kindda- didn't have the right colors so.... it didn't look as good. i guess i have to got buy me some new make up! heheh im greek with dark brown eyes so dark colors (browns, black, gray) and pink looks good. but im 49 years old =[ do you think i can pull this off, or is it too too much make up for my age. i don't look 49 but my family thinks that i should just use some pencil and mascara with some beige shadow! yuck! I LOVE make up, but now im too self conscious. what do you think?
