Tried my hand at makeup... I think I like it.
I used the Arabic Eye makeup from belly dancing as an inspiration.
Eye is from ~aluc23
Please let me know if this overly dark... my monitor isn't calibrated properly, it seems.
If you have downloaded this, do not use it anywhere else online. My watermark is on it, as it is for your viewing pleasure only. Thank you.

Say hello to the watermark, since I have found this elsewhere, with NO credit back to me.

I really enjoy looking at this image. I don't think you need to worry about it being overly dark; I think the darkness adds a heavy, powerful, and lovely aesthetic feel to the picture (especially in contrast to the eye color) that is at once addictive and draws me in. It's too bad I can't really put my thumb on what that feeling is, specifically. Darn--that would have been more helpful.

I had an immediate sensation of being immersed in that type of culture even before looking at the title of this work. For this, I give you mad props. That isn't an easy thing to do. However, there is one issue: the lighter colors directly beneath the eyebrow don't look quite as real. There's something about it that seems off, especially from a distance. This makes it seem less believable. Once more, I apologize that I cannot put my thumb on what it is exactly. The best recommendation I can give at this time is to make that color less prominent... when doing my own makeup, I noticed that the lighter colors fade faster than the darker ones, so that might be of use to you. I don't know how it is with other people's makeup.

I hope this review helps! Thanks for putting up this image!
