The Modern Flapper


Bonjour mes amis!! Closing up the month with a bang, today's post features my fourth installment in collaboration with Caviar Noir Jewelry. I've gotten so much positive feedback from you guys on the first three posts (see Caviar Noir: Kashmir, Angelique & Morocco) that I'm thinking of making these posts (jewelry/makeup collabs) a permanent fixture here on Maryam Maquillage. What do you think? I am also ecstatic to report back to Julie, the creative force behind Caviar Noir, that her signature pieces are the talk of Blogger-town!!



On to the good stuff :)

Back to the Splash!


::Splish Splash:: is "Hello" in Mermaid!! Today's aquatic creation was inspired by 80's mermaids -- think mermaid in the city aka Daryl Hannah in Splash. This look is slightly dramatic, but nothing over the top, and can easily be toned down or worn as is on a fun summer night. P. S. I'll give you another chance to guess my eye palette :))

Guess My Eye Palette!


Hi guys! Super quick post today to preview what's to come on ze blog. Can you guess which palette I used to create this eye look? I'll give you a hint: it's been long anticipated by makeup junkies like myself, hence, I am a huge fan!! This look is über simple, I created it in less than 5 minutes by sweeping the colors on to my lids, however, I will be turning on the drama for upcoming looks using this awesome new palette! Guess that's another hint :))



See my face!

Gold, Bold & Angeliq


Bonjour mes amis! Today's post is my second installment in collaboration with Caviar Noir Jewelry (see first post here), featuring a signature piece that is sure to turn heads and demand attention! The fan favorite Angelique shoulder neck piece in Gold is bold and empowering, requiring none other than a will and a want to be daring and different. To complement this strong statement piece, I went for simple, edgy makeup & hair with an overall demure style reminiscent of Dark Angel (remember her?) -- after all, this post is all about the strong female!
