FOTD: Desert Rose

Hey ladies!

Today I decided to have a little play around with my makeup as it has been a while since I have done anything dramatic or at all different to my everyday look. I decided to create a double wing and got carried away whilst doing so and ended up double winging my inner corner too. Quite pleased with how it turned out actually! Makeup deets below:

I did quite like the asian clothing.. Despite how unbelievably heavy it was.. the fact that my trousers kept falling down and the fact that the jewels kept pulling hairs out of my head and catching just about everything >.<

I hope you guys enjoyed this post - I know it's something a little different! I tried to follow on from a request for more Arabic-style makeup looks so I hope I've managed to please with that :-)

Take care & I'll see you all soon!

FOTD- Arabic Inspired Dramatic Makeup ♡

Hello Ladies! ♡

I thought I'd try and do an FOTD/FOTN inspired by Arabian makeup. I find it so glamorous and feminine and really wanted to test it out as it is one of my absolute favourite looks. 

I've always LOVED the Arab culture.. from their food, music and dancing right through to their makeup and fashion. It may have something to do with living abroad in an Arab country for a while in my childhood. I can't say it was a negative influence at all though!

I kept my face very neutral so that my eyes stood out from the rest of my face. I used a selection of matte and shimmery bronzers to create a dewy bronzed complexion. I also opted for nude lips and kept them quite matte so that my face didn't look over-the-top and greasy.

I don't know how well the look has come out as my makeup skills are self-taught so I'm not the best when it comes to creating such wild eye-looks haha. I'm personally not too keen on the double-wing I created as it's rather scruffy and not very precise. I don't think the rest is too bad though.. aside from the fact I may have taken my eyeshadow a little too high up! I hope you enjoy the look anyway ^_^
