MY LEBANESE NIGHTS #OOTN AND ARABIC INSPIRED MAKE UP

My Arabic inspired make up

Hello beautiful ladies, here I am going to share with you my outfit of the night and Arabic inspired make up for my stay in Beirut, Lebanon.

BASE:
  • L'Oreal Lumi Magique (True Match Lumi) foundation in DW3 Gold Linen, applied with my Real Techniques stippling brush
  • Mac Pro Longwear concealer in NC30
  • Clinique Line Smoothing concealer in 02 Light
  • Dior Skinflash in 001
EYES - Warning: on my eyes I'm wearing more than most of us wear in the average semester, but Lebanese women are SO stunning, it takes a lot of work to keep up with them!! ^_^
  • Mac Extra Dimension Bronzer in Delphic, from their recent Alluring Aquatic collection, in my crease and under the lower lashline
  • La Rose de Versailles eyeliner from Creer Beaute, from Japan, the most thin and precise eyeliner I have, to elongate both my inner and outer corner
  • Kiko Skinny Fit Kajal in 06 (black) only on the outer third of my waterline
  • Kiko False Lashes Concentrate Building Base mascara
  • Bourjois Volume Glamour Ultra Black mascara on top lashes for more volume and length
  • L'Oreal Lash Architect 4D mascara on bottom lashes for more definition
  • fake eyelashes from Tokyo - sorry I can't remember the name of the brand - and Spring Heart black lash glue, also from Tokyo. I bought both products at popular Matsumoto KiYoshi convenience store
EYEBROWS:
  • Mac Pro Longwear Waterproof Brow Set in Emphatically Blonde, from their new line of brow products for the summer
CHEEKS:
  • Mac Extra Dimension Bronzer in Delphic
  • Mac Rio Mineralize Skinfinish* for blush
  • Mac Pro Sculpting Cream in Coffee Walnut, very delicately applied with a Mac 217 brush, to bring the cheekbone contouring past Kardashian level more into Maleficent territory
LIPS:
  • Flormar Waterproof Lipliner no. 201
  • Mac Myth lipstick, one of their most iconic shades, which I finally got after seeing how beautiful it looks on super sweet and mega talented Sanna (@lookamillion) in her most divine make up looks

My Lebanese Nights OOTN

 In my OOTN I am wearing:
  • bustier top from Galliano
  • skirt from Zara
  • silver cuff bracelet and silver and golden rings from H&M
I completed my outfit with simple black strappy heels and a black clutch bag.

My makeup was the same as the morning after, as shown in the top photo and product photo, but for the look to be more intense for the night I was also wearing
  • Mac Indianwood paintpot, a metallic orangy bronze, as a base
  • the darker shade of Kiko Color Sphere eyeshadow in 203, a grape purple shade, in my crease and outer corner
  • Nars Albatross highlighter on the top of my cheekbones and down my nose
  • OPI Lincoln Park After Dark nail polish, a blackened purple
I hope you enjoyed my post :-)

    1. I first tried Myth 2 years ago when it was re-promoted as part of a 3-piece set, together with its limited edition lipgloss and nail polish, but at the time I found it gave me a concealer effect which was not a good look :(

      Now I'm so happy I gave it another try because I realized I can correct that colour issue by using a slightly darker lipliner to give it more dimension, and go from Corpse Bride to Sultry Bombshell like the other girls I've seen wear it haha ^_^

      I want to wear it soon again, I hope you will like it if you try it!!

      And the trick for the eye make up was the thinness of the eyeliner brush and the dramatic lashes ;-)

      Thank you so much for everything and much love <3 <3
