I was inspired to do a look based on Cairo, Egypt for my World Cities mini-series on Youtube, even before the Revolution that took place there. I was mainly inspired by the archeological sites that Cairo is so famous for, the pyramids and the sphynx, and the golden desert surrounding the area. I wanted to reflect these golden and brown colors of the desert in the eye makeup, and focus on an elongated eyeliner shape, typical for Arab makeup looks. Some Arab women like to wear dramatic looks like these to the elaborate wedding celebrations typical of their culture.

Hello Julia,
I'm a new subscriber, and I can't tell you how glad I am to have stumbled upon your tutorials. You have great taste and you're a great instructor!
I'd like to try your highlighting technique, but Shimpagne is nowhere to be found online:( Can you please recommend a MAC MSF that's close to Shimpagne? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!!
Cheers from Tunisia :)

I am so glad I found your videos!! I am a 36 year old mother of two. I have always been eccentric but never knew how to incorporate my eccentricity into my makeup looks. Your videos have shown my how to accomplish this in a classy and unique manner. Thank you so much!!!
Btw, my teenage boys love the arabian look on me.
