Cherie Lip Tint Dhs132 Victoria Beckham Beauty This is my favourite everyday lip colour. It’s soft and dries with a semi-matte consistency. It also works great when paired with a nude lip liner for a polished look. Flawless Finish Powder Dhs200 Charlotte Tilbury My friend used this on me while she was doing my makeup once and I haven’t used anything else to set my makeup since. I love how you can use it lightly to set a natural no-makeup look.

Face and Body Foundation Backstage Dhs138 Dior Designed for a custom-made look, this fluid-formula ensures a natural finish for any occasion. Vitamin Enriched Face Base Dhs292 Bobbi Brown available at bloomingdales.ae I love how versatile this product is, as it works both as a primer and a hydrating cream. Quad Eyeshadow Dhs225 NARS I love small compact things for when I’m on the go and this palette has all the basic colours that you can work with anytime. Ceramidin Cream 50ml Dhs150 Dr.Jart+ The best nighttime cream to lock in moisture and gives the face a beautiful glow even after washing it off. Leave-in Conditioner 250ml Dhs82 Kristin Ess I have super long hair and it weighs down on me naturally so I don’t like using anything heavy. This conditioner effortlessly detangles my hair and brings dull hair back to life without feeling like it’s adding weight. Climax Extreme Mascara Dhs125 NARS available on OUNASS It’s hands down one of the best mascaras with a high pigment formula. Byredo Bal D’Afrique Hair Spray Dhs305 Byredo A subtle scent that lasts all day and works for any occasion. Beachy Nudes Mini Kit Dhs127 Nudestix One of the most useful, compact purchases with all the key shades.
