My favorite makeup look right now

Something I am loving right now is just a bit of dark brown or mauve eyeshadow with some highlighter in the inner corner, very simple paired with a nice lip color, it goes with everything and it looks great!

If I want to glam it up a bit I will add a wing and some lashes.

Being very pale with a red undertone I find it very difficult to find the right contour shade, it can look very muddy on me. At the moment I like to just use a very neutral bronzer to just warm up my face a bit.

Here in Luxor we don't have any high-end makeup stores, almost all the makeup we can buy here are either low brand or copies from China, there is however a new shop where you can find authentic products from brands like Maybelline, NARS, M.A.C and HUDA Beauty, it's great to be able to get high quality makeup, but it does come at a price. Because all of the products are imported the prices go extremly high!

I found one of my favorite foundations, the M.A.C waterweight foundation, close to 700 EGP! It might not be that bad for someone who isn't Egyptian, but my family is living on 900 EGP a month, so spending that much on a foundation is not even a possibility.

I like to buy some of the cheaper brands, some work so well! I get surprised quite often. I do however stay far away from the knockoff's, I do not feel safe using something called Kyle Janner!

Lots of Love,
