The costume is obviously beautiful but we could not help the beautiful and vintage looking subtle yet strong makeup. The eye liner is strong but the eye shadow is not overwhelming as we tend to see in most belly dance makeup. Less is more and highlighting only the eyes and lips could be perfect and perfectly enough. I find the less is more makeup attitude much prettier in belly dance stage makeup than the old "I have to match my eyeshadow with my costume color" mentality which is so 80s and such a faux pas! Ladies, keep it simple!
