Getting Acquainted with Arabic Eye Makeup

How powerful is an Arabic eye makeup? As they say, “The eyes are the windows to the soul.” They can basically tell you what the person is thinking or feeling. Let’s not forget too that the eyes can bring about a certain type of beauty that could have remained completely hidden if not without the help of proper make-up.

You may ask, though, why Arabic eye makeup? In case you have not noticed it yet, they have one of the most beautiful set of eyes. They are big enough to easily capture your attention and expressive enough to mesmerize you.

Nevertheless, you don’t need to become an Arab before you can achieve the kind of eyes they have. With the right tools in hand and makeup technique and style, you can get their loveable eyes.

What You Need

For an Arabic eye makeup, there are certain tools that you have to utilize. These include brushes, which can be both wide-angle brushes and flat-tipped brushes. You also require black liquid eyeliner and mascara. You need the color black to define the real shape of the eyes.

Moreover, since Arabic eye makeup is usually based on darker colors, your base can also be brown, gray, or black. The perfect one is the shimmering dark base. You can also use an eye crayon that is also of dark shade.

The first thing that you need to do before you apply any makeup is to clean the area around and within your eyes. You don’t want anything that can cause smudges or may distract you as you do the make-up. Like other things, it also requires great concentration at your end.

Then, you have to put the coloring base. This is the one that will ensure that the rest of the makeup tools—from eyeliners to mascara—will hold properly. It also adds glittering effect into your eyes. You can add the color base at the top of your eyelids as well as your eyelashes.

You will then have to outlines your eyes using the eye crayon of your choice. Just a little tip, though. If you want to wear hot Arabic makeup, very dark color will do. However, if it’s going to be an Arabic bridal makeup, you may want to soften the tone. You can then extend your outline to at least one-fourth on every side of your each eye. This is to produce a wing, which is a distinctive feature of Arabic makeup.

You can then work on the lower eyelid, then the inner eyelids. You can use the brushes when you want to blend in the different colors.
