Have you ever felt a little underdressed at certain events, makeup wise? You’re surrounded by a whole bunch of extravagantly put together women and you show up wearing uneven eyeliner and false lashes that are pretty much falling off your eyes. Been there, done that. Although I’m self-taught when it comes to makeup, I know of many women who struggle with the art of application. So whether you’re a designer who needs grandiose makeup on your models, a girl getting ready for her graduation, or a panicky bride-to-be that can’t find a great makeup artist for her wedding, ILQ has got you covered (literally). Not to mention the ladies who like dressing up a little bit for Ramadan evenings, and for the ones planning ahead and wanting to get ready for Eid too! Check out our list:

She's a Qatari makeup artist, and from what I know Qatari women really work magic when it comes to makeup. Seriously, based on first hand experience I have felt like a different person altogether - which isn't a bad thing. Definite thumbs up.
