Love this look. I’m sold on the cocoa mirage palette and thank you for spending so much time answering all the comments. It must take you ages, but it is definitely appreciated. xo
It’s a great palette for these hazy looks 🙂 Responding to comments is my favourite part 😉

Incredible as always! Love the lip colour on you x
P.s have you tried the foreo skim device? How do you think it’ll be for acne prone skin? Xx
I have tried the Foreo, it was a bit fussy for me and I didn’t notice a difference in my skin but Sharon Farrell loved hers!

I have Cocoa Mirage but I also really appreciate you citing dupes/alternatives where applicable. As always, thank you for a well-edited and concise tutorial!
So pleased you enjoyed it 🙂 x
I think I might try this look this weekend! The eyes hold all the attention so it will take away from the stitches post mole removal next to my nose D: curses!
Would love to see in the future:
Zoeva tutorial (one brand IF possible)
Any one brand tutorials! I always find them interesting to see if brand loyalty can be feasible across the products
If you happen to have the new Loreal rang (La Palette Nude (Beige), Cushion Foundation, Mascara etc) a first impressions would be fab
Overhyped products: what do you think doesn’t make the cut throughout the blogging/vlogging/online beauty community
Also looking forward to your facial series that you mentioned in your IG post.
I did a video with Sharon about overhyped products:

And yes the facial series is in the works 😉

Oh Karima, you never cease to amaze. This look is amazing on you, and is so wearable!
Thanks for the endless inspiration.

So pleased you enjoyed the look, Coline 🙂 x
Hey Karima! I’m not sure if you got the TF Cream Shadows as a promotional thing or purchased them, but I’m just letting you know that 8 shades (+ the other Spring? collections) are released in David Jones on March 6th (It’ includes a cooler toned Shade and Light palette by the looks!)
OOHH THANKS Quin! It’s so hard to keep on top of release dates so I’ll definitely swing by the counter on March 6th!

Hi Karima
I don’t wear false lashes much (never find the time to put them on) so I love it when you tutorials without falsies! Please do more of those:))
Hey Rav, glad you enjoyed it!

LOVE Burberry makeup looks! Your rendition is stunning.

Hi Karima,
Gorgeous look!
One question – I’ve been using Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer (same shade as you) for the last two weeks or so and love the coverage and consistency. But I feel like after an hour or two the shade is starting to get darker. Do you get this too or maybe it’s just me being paranoid? 🙂
Love,
Laura
Hey Laura,
A few people have mentioned this although I haven’t experienced it myself.
xx
Love this look Karima! I find myself going for a grunge look every time I want to feel put together haha!! Im going to get the Tom Ford quad, Im 100% sold! xo
It’s a beautiful quad, you won’t be disappointed 🙂 x
Love love LOVE!!!! This was really refreshing and something I can probably recreate. Thanks for posting!! I can’t wait to try it out!
Woohoo 🙂 Tag me if you upload it somewhere!
x
Can’t get enough of these soft, grungy looks – your addition of TF Platinum is genius here ???
I wore your daytime matte glam look last weekend and looooved it. Thank you Karima!
So happy you liked the tutorial 🙂 Soft grunge is one of my fave!

I love love love grunge looks, and I think the greige lip really ties it all together! Now I have to go find one!
I love grunge, too! x
Wow! Really love this look!
Thanks Amy!

Karima is it weird if I ask how you get your teeth so white? They’re so beautiful and if you use a whitener I want to know which one so I can use it too!!
Hey Cala,
I don’t actually whiten my teeth, I think they’re naturally on the whiter side.
