Oriental beauties have always been famous for their unique charm, charming mystery and magic. The secret of their makeup is that the main focus is on the eyes. Lips are often painted with regular gloss so that attention is not distracted from the main element. This type of makeup will be appropriate at various festive events, where brightness and intensity are appropriate.
Colours
The main issue when creating oriental makeup is the selection of colors. Shadows must be saturated colors. Their dense application gives the look a special depth and attractiveness. Black must be used regardless of eye color.
Features of the look
Many European girls have chosen the technique of oriental eye makeup (photo attached below). And among its distinctive features are the following:
- For Arabic-style makeup, the presence of several shades of shadows is very important. They create a beautiful, soft transition with blurry borders. With light brown eyes, shades of purple, beige,gold and blue.
- Arab women, due to cultural characteristics, wear special clothes. That is why the main emphasis in oriental-style makeup is on the eyes.
- The make-up uses numerous "complex" arrows, a wide variety of shades of shadows. Arab beauties love emerald, purple, gold and silver hues.
- Another distinctive feature of oriental makeup is perfectly drawn, bright eyebrows.
- In the Arabic image, you can often find rhinestones and sparkles, false eyelashes and bunches.
- Not only the upper eyelid stands out, but the entire lower one. The lower mucosa is brought in with a charcoal shade of black, and colored shadows are added along the lash line. The look becomes truly cat-like.
- Oriental make-up can not be called daytime. This is exclusively an evening or solemn make-up.
- Of all the variety of pencils, it is best to use a soft black pencil called "kayal". Its texture is more like a piece of coal. Kayal is an analogue of antimony, which was once used for eyeliner by Arab women - and it should be noted that this technique still works great.
- In creating an oriental look, you can safely highlight the lower eyelid. As a rule, in other types of makeup, this is a rather risky event - after all, the look can turn out to be tired. But in Arabic, you can’t do without this element - it is the underlined lower eyelid that allows you to achieve a “cat” image.
How to make makeup recognizable?
Oriental makeup has several features. If they are not observed, then the image of the Arab beauty will not be clearly read. One of the highlights is the arrows. In the classic version of the Arabic image, they should give the eye an almond shape. Secondly, you can’t do without lengthening mascara, because in creating such a make-up, you need to create long and beautiful eyelashes. Overlays can be used if desired. In the process of working on covering the skin, pale shades of foundation or powder should be avoided. On the contrary, an even tanned shade is needed here.
Main algorithm
How to make oriental makeup? Consider the main stages of creation.
- The first step is to apply the base under the shadow. It can be a special base, and a regular foundation. This step is needed so that the colors of the shadows are more saturated, last longer without rolling.
- Light, pearl-colored shadows are applied to the inner corner of the eyes.
- The main color is applied to the middle of the moving eyelid.
- On the outer corner of the eye, it is necessary to shade the darkest shade in the entire palette.
- Then the shadows need to be shaded properly so that the boundaries between the tones are smooth and invisible.
- After that, using a black soft pencil, an arrow is drawn in the outer corner of the eye. A certain checkmark should come out on the side.
- This arrow needs to be made less clear. For this, a dark brown pencil is used. First you need to paint over the entire arrow over its borders, and then featherusing shadows, creating a smooth transition from one color to another. Under the eyebrow, you can paint over the shadows of light shades, this will help them visually raise them a little.
- Now it's the turn of the eyeliner. Gel is best suited for this purpose. It is easy to apply, and the line will be as accurate as possible. The arrow is drawn along the lash line, in the direction from the inner corner of the eye to the outer.
- Easy to oriental eye makeup will add a "feather" - it is drawn with white shadows under the free part of the arrow and shaded.
- The lower eyelid should also be decorated with an arrow. It can be created with a small brush and dark shadows. In particular, carefully paint over the junction of the upper and lower arrows in the corner of the eye.
- The final touch is the application of mascara.
For brown eyes
Dark brown eyes can be considered truly ideal for this type of make-up. By themselves, they are very deep, and to further emphasize their saturation, you can safely use shades of blue, purple and swamp shades, complementing them with lighter and more delicate colors - for example, beige. Consider the algorithm for creating oriental makeup for brown eyes.
- The upper eyelid is treated with a leveling base. With a soft dark brown pencil, a line is drawn and carefully shaded in the crease above the upper eyelid.
- If the intensity has disappeared after shading, you can draw the line again.
- The space under the eyebrowshaded with a highlighter or pearl shade.
- Bronze eye shadow, gold glitter or sparkling pigment are applied to the moving eyelid.
- An arrow is drawn on the upper eyelid with liquid eyeliner, and the lower eyelid is drawn with a soft pencil.
- Ink being applied. The image is ready.
Benefits for brown-eyed people
Owners of brown eyes can break the laws of classic makeup, according to which the main focus must be placed either on the eyes or on the lips. The Arabic image is designed to make facial features as pronounced as possible. In particular, the bold technique of highlighting both lips and eyes is suitable for brunettes. A similar color type allows you to wear both bright lipstick and rich eye makeup.
Image for green-eyed beauties
In Arabic makeup for green eyes, you can use peach and light gray shades. And plum, purple and metallic are suitable as primary colors. Shades of copper and gold tones will help to make the makeup more expressive.
Green-eyed beauties can also use emerald shades. They will help make the eyes even more saturated and deep. There is only one taboo for owners of green eyes in oriental makeup - this is the use of blue and blue shades. After all, they can adversely affect the entire image, hide the natural beauty of the eyes.
- After the face is prepared for the make-up and the eyebrows are shaped, it is necessary to proceed to the eyes. Using a black pencil, the outer corner is drawn.
- Use a flat brush along the upper lash line to apply a dark gray eyeshadow or a rich emerald color coat.
- To create a contrast, shadows of a light golden hue are added to the corner of the eye. The transitions between the shadows are blurred.
- A pearl shade is added under the eyebrow.
- Then a beautiful east arrow is created. Ideally, it should be double. To create this effect, a thin white line is drawn under the tail of an already existing dark arrow. If tape was previously pasted, it should be peeled off.
- Bright shadows are applied to the lower eyelid and shaded.
- The final touch is ink. Eyelashes must be painted over in two layers or applied overhead. The image is ready.
Trick to create an image
Arabic make-up is unthinkable without black arrows. In many variants, you need to draw a clear and even line that will continue the line of the eyelid, as it were, “look” towards the temple. If it is difficult to draw it, you can use adhesive tape pasted at an angle for convenience. So it will be much easier to do oriental makeup (a photo of using adhesive tape is attached below). After the make-up is completed, it is removed, and you can see the amazing result.
Blue and gray eyes
The Arabic image looks impressive not only on dark eyes. Owners of blue and gray eyes can use shades of sand and brown colors, golden, pink, silver. Subtlety is not onlythe correct selection of shades, but also the texture of the shadows. For example, young beauties should pay attention to shadows with mother-of-pearl effect - it will help to give makeup a special glow. Consider the process of applying oriental makeup on blue eyes in more detail.
- The upper and lower eyelids are powdered. The silhouette of the future arrow is drawn with a thin brush.
- Then two coats of plum shadows are applied.
- The mucous line of the lower eyelid is highlighted in black. The borders of the arrow are shaded, they should be smoky.
- The main "highlight" of this image is the contrast of black and white. Therefore, the inner corner of the eye should be drawn in saturated white.
- Final chord - applying mascara.
We figured out how to do oriental eye makeup. After that, you need to work on the tone of the face and lips in order to fully complete the mysterious Arabic image. To create it, it is not necessary to use the services of professional makeup artists - after all, an oriental woman should be able to paint her eyes herself.
