#4: Qarth Hairstyle

Makeup
She is a warrior so she’s always rocking a natural makeup with power brow look. Use primer, light foundation and concealer to achieve her flawless complexion. To make your brows bigger, use light brown brow powder or gel. Her eyes always look natural so don’t overdo your eye makeup. Use brown eyeshadow and a very thin line of eyeliner.
In the books, Daenerys has purple eyes so you can play with some color contact lenses. To finish your Daenerys makeup look, curl your eyelashes and apply mascara. Use nude or light pink lipstick for your lips.
