The title looks so complicated, but the concept isn't.. Its very simple.. Yes.. it was a lazy Sunday afternoon when this idea suddenly struck me. I actually wanted to do only Brides of India like Malabar Gold & Diamonds ad & started with a Tamil bride look at first. I don't know what really went wrong in the middle, it turned out to be an Arabic kinda look, then I decided to change the concept as Brides of the World and do some modifications to the look to make it an Arabic Eye makeup.
Let us look at this inspiration picture & see how to create this :

Step 1 :
Moisturize your eye area and apply a primer so that the eyeshadow stays intact for a long time.
 |
Apply Primer |
Step 2 :
Apply a bright gold eyeshadow to the inner 3/4 th of the lid.

Step 3 :
To create an intense look in the outer 1/4 th as well as the crease, I mixed several colors so that it reflects different color under different lighting.You can use any dark brown color in the outer 1/4 th area. I used a reddish pink shade & applied a chocolate brown on top of it for a burgundy kind of color. Similarly apply these eyeshadows in the lower lid as well and blend the colors.

Step 4 :
Take a matte light brown or a nude color eyeshadow in a blending brush & blend the outer edges so that there are no harsh lines. Use a wind shield wiping motion.
