It's Friday Night Dolls! What are your plans and where are you heading? What are you wearing and what makeup are you preparing?

I chose a bold, empowering color palette featuring yellow gold, rich brown and golden orange, accentuated with hints of glitter sharp black liner, and clean, strong brows. This look is exotic and bold -- perfect for standing out of the crowd and snatching that attention! Go 'head and try it for yourself tonight!!

Pinkwink

Hola amigos :))

Thursday just started and I can't wait for it to be over so I can be one day closer to the weekend. I feel like this week has dragged on for too long and I'm so ready & eager for a fresh start. My brand new week usually begins on a Friday with a much needed recharge (alone time). Since I'm not really a party person, I typically spend my weekends casual and cozy--with my beau, that is. Our QT consists of beaching, picnicking, shopping, strolling, dining, wining, and dvr-ing. Don't get me wrong, I love socializing with my friends, but crowded bars and clubs just aren't my thing anymore. When I go out in groups, I prefer restaurants & lounges over clubs & bars, or better yet, I love a good old fashioned house party or bbq... but that's just me :)

The reason for my "going-out" themed intro is that after reviewing some of my recent posts, I realized that I'm sort of lacking in the summer evening makeup department. Hence, I wanted to showcase my recent evening looks (I do go out after all), starting with this pink shimmery number I wore last Friday to my dad's exhibition / performance (he's an artist and in a band--a story for another post :)...

Femme Fatale

Hi darlings!!!


Merci beaucoup for all your positive and helpful feedback, y'all rock!!!


As some of you may know, today is a very special day for me, so you'll excuse me for keeping it short and sweet :)) Makeup look of the day: Femme Fatale or Maria the Maneater... hehe


Enjoy & bisous,


Maryam Maquillage




ABOUT THIS LOOK: Wear this for any special occasion like a birthday, a night out, a party, or a date. With this look, you'll keep heads turning all night long ladies. They love it mean and mysterious lol ;)

Tip/Warning: Dark lids look best on monolids (asian eyes--like mine :) or light non-asian eyes. Sorry for the poor description but its the best way I could put it... Stay away from this look if you have large lids or deeply set eyes aka sunken eyes--dark shadows will only make your eyes look more sunken, which can add up to 10 years of age. Trust me on this one ;)


TO ACHIEVE THIS LOOK: Start by priming your lids with Urban Decay primer potion or any primer of your choice. Wait at least 30 seconds for the product to settle and apply a second, more sticky base for the shadow to stick. My favorite black base is NYX jumbo eye pencil in black bean, a creamy and highly pigmented jumbo eye pencil. Apply the color all over your lid, staying under the crease, and avoiding the inner third of the eye lid. Blend the product with your finger to make sure it's smooth and even. 

Next, take a flat shader brush and apply an iridescent pinky color right on your brow bone (under the brow) and in the inner corner of the eye. I used the color Virgin from the Urban Decay Naked palette, which is my favorite makeup palette of all time by faaaaaar and hands dooooown lol. I'll do a separate entry on this palette because it is just sooo fabulous. 

Take a fluffy dome-shaped brush, and apply the color Buck (a matte color that is 2 to 3 shades darker than your skin tone) to the soft part of your eye lid using a windshield wiper motion (follow the groove of the eye socket). Next, take the same brush and apply a shimmery dark silver/pewter color (Gunmetal from the Urban Decay palette) directly beneath the skin tone color. Take the flat shader brush used before and apply a black shimmery shadow onto the lid (Creep from the palette), staying under the crease and blending with the pewter color very gently. Remember to apply this color with a patting motion so that it sticks on to the base and doesn't fall under the eye. Take a black eyeliner pencil and line the entire waterline (top and bottom), as well as under and above the lash line. The palette comes with a double-sided pencil in black (zero) and brown (whiskey) and happens to be my all-time favorite pencil eyeliner. Seal the liner below the lash line with the black shadow and finish with 2 coats of black mascara. The eye should look something like this:


Finish your face with your typical routine, mine being Bare Minerals matte foundation in Golden Medium and Lancome maquicomplet concealer in medium bisque, just under the eye and around the nose. With a heavy eye look, keep the lips super simple--either lightly lined or nude. I used NYX lipliner in natural as always, and put chapstick under and over the lipliner for extra moisture. 


CHEERS!!! SALUT!!! SANTE!!! SAHA!!! NA ZDOROVIE!!!
