Fattouh began by revealing that he usually starts any look with eye drops to remove redness and prevent tearing. “Tearing is a nightmare for us makeup artists,” he said, adding that eye drops also help hydrate the eyes, keeping them bright and refreshed.
When the model came on stage, she already had basic base makeup and lashes applied, allowing him to focus on the artistry and refinement of his techniques. He started with the eyes, applying a thin line of kohl along the lash line before gently smudging it for a natural, diffused finish.
