WHAT’S YOUR GO-TO BEAUTY PRODUCT WHEN YOU NEED TO LOOK FAB IN 5 MINUTES?
Always a concealer, as I love that it covers the imperfections and dark circles on the skin.
WHICH BEAUTY TREND ARE YOU SECRETLY OBSESSED WITH?
Nose and lip contour and just contour in general.

IF YOU COULD ONLY USE THREE BEAUTY PRODUCTS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD THEY BE?
A concealer, a bronzer, and a mascara. I don’t think you need much more than that.
WHAT’S YOUR BEAUTY ICK?
Lash extensions! I don’t think it suits anyone, and it looks fake.
WHICH BEAUTY SERVICE ARE YOU TOTALLY ADDICTED TO—LASHES, NAILS, OR SOMETHING ELSE?
Definitely nails. I do my nails every 2 weeks. Nothing feels better than clean, beautiful nails on the hands and on the toes.

DO YOU HAVE A BEAUTY RITUAL THAT’S A LITTLE WEIRD BUT TOTALLY WORKS?
Hmmmm, maybe dry shampoo. Haha, I am a dry shampoo girlie. I use it on the second and third day of not washing my hair. I can’t stand oily, sticky hair, but also, I don’t like to shower my hair daily since it isn’t healthy for the hair.
THE SECRET TO FLAWLESS SKIN?
From my personal experience, less skincare. And water, of course!

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE BEAUTY SALON IN DUBAI – WHAT MAKES IT SO SPECIAL?
SNOB. Lovely staff, beautiful place, and honestly, they are good at everything.
IF YOU COULD RAID ONE CELEBRITY’S BEAUTY STASH, WHOSE WOULD IT BE AND WHAT WOULD YOU SNAG FIRST?
Bella Hadid. I find her so effortlessly beautiful with minimal makeup and flawless skin.
