Arabic Bridal Makeup: The Eyes

The eye makeup is key to the Arab bridal make-up look. Eyeshadows that are in bright and contrasting colors are often used to complement the bride’s outfit. The use of shades to blend colors is also important. Use gel eye-liners as they are easier to apply and are waterproof. Gel eye-liners are great for lining the inner rim of the eye and they stay put for hours, unlike pencils.

Dramatic Arabic Eye Makeup

Arabic makeup is known for its dramatic look. The Arabic makeup look involves dramatic eyes. This is usually done by using several complementary eye shadows, and blending them over layers. This results in a vibrant look.

Eyeliner is then used to provide a dramatic contrast to the eyeshadow colors. Lastly, the eyebrows are highlighted or thicken with a brow pencil.

The look can take some skill to create; of course, one needs a steady hand and a sense of color to be able to blend complementary colors that looks stunning.

Here are some Arabic Eye Makeup Tips to help you get started on creating your very own dramatic Arabian look!

Arabic Eye Makeup Tips

1) Start with the eyelids first. Typically, you should first pick a base eyeshadow color. For dramatic Arabian Eye Makeup look, pick a shade that is slightly glistening, or luminous. Apply the base eyeshadow color on the upper lash line going to the top part of your eyelids.

2) Next, you should shape your eyes with the use of a dark eye pencil and do strokes on the base. Extend the line towards the outer part of your eyes and make a wing shape. The inner eyelids should be applied with a light sparkling color going to the mid part of the brow area.

3) A darker eye shadow is then applied to the remaining eyelid part going to the brows. Add color as desired extending towards the wing you have previously created. Blend the colors in the top eyelid. Highlight your upper brow part. Use a cream colored or white eye shadow to emphasize the eyes.

4) Apply another layer of dark eye pencil on the top eyelid. With a black liquid eye liner, make a thin line extending to the wing shape and let it dry.

5) To finish this look, apply two to three coats of black mascara for that total Arabic look.
