Style Folder

Hi all,

I know I’ve been absent for a while, but I was super busy doing a few freelance projects and finally had the time to sit down, open some parcels and write some reviews here. Tomorrow I will post my thoughts on Huda Beauty Liquid Mattes as I’ve been wearing them non-stop for the past 2 weeks, and today I want to give a shoutout to @shahlalai.boutique for a gorgeous maang tikka they sent to me yesterday…

Maang Tikka is: Typically an Indian piece of jewellery worn over forehead (sometimes on the centre, sometimes on the side) and since I have a lot of Middle Eastern followers, I decided to a fusion of Bollywood and Arabic makeup look featuring this beautiful handmade piece.

I know this is not the most dramatic Arabic makeup look, but you guys know I like to go a little subtle with my makeup looks in general. Anyway, here’s the look unless you’ve already seen it on my Instagram:

For the face I used:

• MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation (NC35)- all over face and neck with Morphe M427 stippling brush
• MAC Pro Longwear Concealer (NC35)- under eyes with Morphe M335 chubby buffer brush
• NARS Pressed Powder (Translucent)- set only the concealer as I have dry skin all over my face with Real Technique setting brush
• Anastasia That Glow Kit (Sunburst)- on the high points of cheeks with Morphe M501 brush
• Anastasia Contour Kit (Fawn)- as contour shade with MAC 164 brush
• MAC Powder Blush (Melba)- Real Technique blush brush on the apples of cheeks

For Brows:

• Anastasia Brow Powder Duo (Dark Brown)- filled the brows lightly with Anastasia No 7 brush
• Anastasia Clear Brow Gel

For eyes:

• MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot (Soft Ochre)- applied on the lid with fingers
• Anastasia Modern Renaissance Palette
  • Raw Sienna- on the crease with MAC 217 brush
  • Love Letter- all over the lid with Morphe M214 brush
  • Cyprus Umber- on the outer corner with Morphe M506 brush
• L’Oreal Super Intenza Gel Liner (Black)
• Urban Decay Heavy Metal Eyeliner (Midnight Cowboy)- applied above black eyeliner
• MAC In Extreme Dimension 3D Lash Mascara (Black)

Lips:

• Colour Pop Cosmetics Ultra Matte Lipstick (More Better)

Neither of the photos are retouched because I like to give my viewers the most realistic picture as always… I hope you like this look and let me know what you think!

Happy Friday!

Xx
