Glamorous Makeup

Makeup should enhance your features, not hide them. You are unique and beautiful. With this gorgeous client, I wanted to bring out the color of her eyes, and what better way than to use earth tones?

Get the Look: Sultry Arabic Eyes

I wanted to try something a little different with the way I presented which products I used to achieve the look of the day.  I am a very visual person and thought it would be a neat idea to make a collage of all the products used to create the look.  Being a big fan of design and inspiration boards,  I would like to think of this collage as an inspiration board in itself. 

The look I created today was fun, sexy, and sultry.  I usually don't plan the eye makeup I will be doing, and I like to see where my creativity, and the colors take me.  Today's look speaks for itself!

I highly recommend this amazing product for anyone who likes to wear a dark eye and wants to minimize any fall out!
