I was inspired by the use of silver and gold in the Sex and the City 2 movie poster! I had never tried putting silver and gold together in a look and I thought now would be the perfect opportunity. Since the ladies traveled to Abu Dhabi in the movie, I decided to pull a little bit of inspiration from Arab makeup — without going too over-the-top as the women of Sex and the City keep their makeup in the more wearable zone. So here it is, my wearable Arabic makeup look inspired by Sex and the City 2. Hope you like it!!!
COMPLETE LIST OF PRODUCTS USED
EYES:
Urban Decay Primer Potion (My favorite eyeshadow primer, I’ve decided!)
MAC Eyeshadow in “Electra” (light silver with a little shimmer; my favorite silver eyeshadow. MUST HAVE)
MAC Eyeshadow in “Wedge” (light warm brown; any warm brown a few shades darker than your skintone would work.)
Urban Decay Eyeshadow in “Baked” (golden bronze with lots of shimmer)
Urban Decay Eyeshadow in “Twice Baked” (chocolately brown with a little shimmer)
Urban Decay Eyeshadow in “Polyester Bride” (white with golden shimmer)
MAC Eyeshadow in “Vanilla” (vanilla; anything close to your skintone will work — even pressed powder.)

MAC Fluidline Gel Liner in “Blacktrack” (applied with #266 brush)
L’Oreal Collagen Mascara
Ardell #45 False Lashes
FACE:
Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder (Matte bronzer. My favorite bronzer because it has no shimmer and therefore looks more natural. Not orange either.)

This look is gorgeous! It’s not too over the top and it also complements the high lites in your hair. It’s a great glam look.

Ur site is so pretty! none of the other beauty gurus have a site that looks as good as urs
this look is great, love how simple and stylish it looks… I did something similar friday night, I just added a little bit of bronze as well so the gold and silver would blend better, and used both cream and powder eye shadows
I love what you have done with the "sex and the city" makeup arab inspired! Gold and silver work so well together on your skin tone, this look is sexy and shimmery and perfect with some amazing gold or silver accessories! Very glamorous!
