Did you know I used to belly dance? Not professionally, but as a hobby, and boy do I have some funny stories about that time in my life.
Speaking about belly dancing, one of my fitness goals is to regain my lost flexibility. I might not ever be like Shakira, but I’d like to be able to bust a move without busting a knee cap!
I love Shakira’s makeup in the video for Loba … she’s wearing a simple brown smokey lid and carries it off perfectly.
Here’s my take on the look!
Base: MAC Bare Study Paint Pot
Lid: MAC Bark
Lower Lid: MAC Bitter
Browbone: MAC Gesso
Liner: Stila Smudgepot in Brown
Brows: Stila Dark Brow Duo, darker shade
Mascara: MAC Plush Lash




What a great way to work in Bitter. That looks like a tough one to wear.
I’ve never seen anyone dance like Shakira. She’s amazing.
(Did my first comment get eaten??)
Ah, the classic smoky eye. Always nice, and good for just about any occasion.
I agree with Ninjagato: good use of that color. It’s a strange one.
Sorry Jean- I was hungry.
I know, bitter is kinda scary – love ita s a liner, tho!
The pop of chartreuse is so cute :3 I’ma steal this for sure!
Mad props for using the spanish version of the Shak vid
I forgot she’s your Colombian sister!!!
2 “o’s” my friend…Colombian.
Whoops – sorry, girl!
