Brilio.net - The world of makeup continues to develop with various styles. Two trends that are quite striking and often compared are douyin makeup from China and the Arabian look typical of the Middle East. Both are equally stunning, but come with very different approaches, both in terms of technique, color, and final results.
Douyin makeup is synonymous with a soft, youthful, and natural impression. This style relies on glowing skin, fresh blush on the cheeks and nose, and gradient lips that give a sweet effect like characters in Asian dramas. The focus is on creating a cute and effortless look, as if someone was born with such a beautiful face without much effort.
On the contrary, the Arabian look actually appears with a bold and dramatic impression. Its main characteristic lies in bold eye makeup with sharp eyeliner and thick eyelashes, combined with a clear facial contour and lipstick that tends to be dark in color. This style exudes exotic and elegant charm.
These two makeup styles are considered to be completely opposite because they are very different. But who would have thought, there is a MUA who managed to combine the two makeup styles. To be more precise, a makeup artist named Yunia Shafa has proven this through one of the videos uploaded.

Girl transformation with douyin mix Arabian look
As reported by briliobeauty.net from Instagram @yuniashafa_mua on Friday (5/23), before being made up, the MUA showed the bare face of the girl's skin who was going to be made up. Her skin looked oily in some areas, and her pores were clearly visible. Her eyebrows were natural and not defined with makeup, while her lips had a natural color that tended to be pale.

Shortly after, he showed the transformation of the girl who wore a make-up that was a mix of elements from the douyin and Arabian styles. This combination resulted in a dramatic look but still exuded elegance. Her face looked very polished with a perfect complexion, giving the impression of smooth and flawless skin.

Elements of the douyin style are evident in the eye and cheek makeup. The eyes have the signature douyin dolly eye effect, characterized by winged eyeliner and perhaps thick, curled false lashes, both on the top and bottom, to give the appearance of larger, rounder, doll-like eyes.
In addition, glitter or shimmer under the eyes (aegyo sal) is also a characteristic of douyin that makes the eyes look more sparkling and young. The cheeks are given a blush that is quite high and rosy on the apples of the cheeks, giving a youthful and fresh impression.
Meanwhile, the Arabian touch is seen in the choice of colors and the intensity of eye makeup. Although there are elements of douyin, there is a more intense smokey eye impression or the use of richer colors on the eyelids, which are often found in Arabian makeup.
Thick and well-defined eyebrows are also a hallmark of Arabian makeup that emphasizes the eyes. The contours of the face are also defined, giving dimension to the face, which is often an important part of Arabian makeup to highlight the bone structure.
Overall, this makeup managed to create a harmonious blend of two different styles. Douyin's sweet and youthful beauty combined with the luxury and boldness of Arabian makeup, resulting in a stunning look. The woman also wore a simple yet elegant black hijab, as well as a sparkling necklace and earrings, which added a touch of glamour to her look.
