Lookamillion Inspiration

'Lookamillion' is the most talented make-up artist on instagram, if you haven't seen her work yet then you are missing out. You MUST go look!!!!!

Recently on instagram she posted the most gorgeous look, I instantly felt inspired by it and wanted to try it myself .. although i knew there was no way any one could even compete. 

Look at it, is it just perfect. I didn't even attempt to recreate this look but instead, just used it as inspiration for a similar look. i really hope you all like it. 

So here it is! I chose to swap the gold used in 'lookamillion's look with the gorgeous MAC Kitschmas A21 pigment as i wanted to keep this look quite light and for the colours to flow better.

I absolutely loved what she had done with the added glittered eye liner, so chose to use my Urban Decay Heavy Metal silver eyeliner on the inner corner of the bottom lid and between the two liner wings as shown in the picture. 

I love how the dramatic eyeliner gives an Arabic feel to the look and makes the eye make-up stand out. 

I am definitely going to be trying
more of Lookamillion's looks. Her work is on another level and really motivates me to work on my makeup and to challenge myself and push the boundaries. 

Definitely make sure you keep checking in on my blog to see more
of my looks and how other artists inspire me and hopefully one day ill be able to inspire one of you too. 

Get practicing girls and let me
know how you all get on! 

   Good Luck!

My Arab Beauty

Finally I am back and have some time to update my blog!!

So I was sat at work thinking about just how much i miss doing my make-up and, of course, sharing it with you all. So i phoned my gorgeous best friend here in Dubai and asked if she would be my canvas.... which (lucky for me) she said yes.

So there was no specific inspiration behind this look, just me playing about with golds, browns and oranges. You should all know by now how much I love my golds and browns. 

My best friend Dina is such a naturally beautiful girl that she could make even my worst make-up attempts look good.She's just so stunning. 

I used the gold from my Urban Decay Naked Palette 2 as it is so pigmented and just looks amazing when it catches the light. I put it on the ball of her eyelid, in the center to create a spotlight effect with a chocolate brown surrounding it which faded into an orange-brown in the corner of the eye. Final touch of some simple winged eyeliner and fake lashes and the look was complete. 

Dina's skin is naturally flawless so she didn't need much coverage, just some contouring and lippie and she was all set.

Poor girl had to deal with me signing my name on her in Arabic with eyeliner. I just wonder if i would get away with doing to that to all my models? Every artist should sign there work one way or another though right?! 

I had so much fun practicing on my gorgeous best friend, and I can tell you from now you will no doubt be seeing again very soon.
