Get the Arabic Eye Look - Makeup Must-Haves

Submitted by Beauty Detective HQ on Friday, October 31 2008No Comments

If you still haven’t worked up the courage to try your hand at the Arabic eye technique, don’t wait a second longer.

This season’s eye shadow collections are full of glamorous hues and shimmering palettes that give you that extra edge for the ultimate Arabic eye.

One of the most important steps for pulling off Arabic eyes like a pro is to layer your shimmering shade at the right angle up to your brow.  You also need to add just one sleek sweep of black kohl on the upper lids and create a ‘wing’ at the edge.

Ready to jump in and try this look? Get started with these Arabic eye essentials:

Smashbox Wicked Lovely is a great way to kick off your look and get that smoldering stare you crave.  The purple and pink/gray combo is the perfect match for those evening revelries and will help you get that sultry look for those charming Arabic eyes.

When you’ve perfected your technique to get that ‘winged’ tip edge, take your Arabic eye experiments one step further with a glittering eye liner.  This fun set from Too Faced gives you a chance to try out hot pink and rainbow glitter, brown glitter, or black/silver for the ultimate entrance to that next event.  Make your eyes the center of attraction with this must-have set!

Since you need to create a high arch on those brows and brighten up the area underneath, make sure you do it with a super-highlighting powder.  The Laura Geller Wonder Wand is your little secret for magnifying your look; the shimmering powder contains flecks of silver and pink that will brighten up those eyes in a flash - and draw more attention to the upper eyelids.

What are your must-have products for pulling off the Arabic eye?  Share your tips below!
