im not middle eastern but have spent my whole life wishing i was!! is it any wonder when you look at how beautiful they are?!?! i went to Dubai recently and maan they were hot! theyre make up is very full on and elaborate around the eyes with lots of nudey lips. however, one thing i dont like is. theyre bases are sooo thick..even the ones with good skin have about an inch of opaque base. i agree with the above post, dont think some would be recognisable without it. however, theyre still stunning! and some of them, when you look at thme, you can just tell they are naturally beautifil, with or without the mu *sighhh*
