The Windows To Your Soul

Belly dancers not only need to express their emotions through their movement but also through their eyes. The eyes are known as 'the windows to the soul' and should be used throughout a performance.

Make up is very important, the right make up can be extremely hard to apply and may need the help of a make-up artist. Experimenting with different colours and finding new ways to line the eyes is a good start. Usually the eyes are dark, deep in colour and heavy, with elongated tails at the outer corners.

If you love make up, then experimenting will be a lot of fun and eventually you'll be able to create those beautiful Arabic eyes when ever you need to. The eyes are intense and almost mesmerising - It should be hard to look away without being 'seduced'.

Remember the shape of your seductive eyes and the emotion that you are trying to express. This way you won't end up applying it incorrectly and look more like someone ready for halloween. Mix some light shades on the lid and below the eyebrow after applying deep dark colour to the lid-crease and outer edges. This cleans up the look and keeps the eyes 'light-reflective'.
