Latifa Alshamsi, Emirati entrepreneur and content creator, talks us through her must-have beauty staples.
Guerlain Cuir Intense Eau de Parfum
Cuir Intense Eau de Parfum, 125ml. This perfume is a deep, powerful scent that always gets compliments. There’s also a special memory linked to it, so it means a lot to me.
Armani
Eye Tint Liquid Eyeshadow Dhs165. I kept seeing shade 22 of this liquid eyeshadow all over social media, and I love shade 30 on my skin tone—it’s subtle but so pretty.
Evidens de Beauté
The Night Moisturizer 50ml, Dhs1,200. This moisturiser is so rich and calming—feels like a spa at night. I wake up with really soft skin when I put this on.
Gisou
Honey-Infused Lip Oil Dhs113. The lip oil feels so nourishing and gives the prettiest shine, so I keep this in my bag at all times.
Kosas
Revealer Concealer 6ml Dhs140. This concealer is super creamy and easy to blend. It brightens without looking heavy—it’s my go-to for under eyes.
Nohanabil
On Fleek Eyeliner Dhs79. The pigment on this eyeliner is super black and doesn’t move. I love how sharp the tip is—it makes winged liner so easy to apply.
Charlotte Tilbury
Charlotte’s Magic Cream 50ml, Dhs445. This is an instant glow in a jar. I use it before makeup or even on no-makeup days—it gives that plump, healthy look.
Evidens de Beauté
The Extreme Eye & Lip Solution 25ml Dhs1,350. The product is gentle but effective. I’ve noticed a difference around my eyes since I’ve started to use it—it smooths and hydrates so well.
Charlotte Tilbury
Hollywood Flawless Filter, Dhs235. This foundation gives that soft glow that makes your skin look naturally filtered. I use it by itself or under foundation.
Charlotte Tilbury
Hollywood Contour Wand Dhs185. This is the most blendable contour I’ve ever tried. It melts into the skin and never looks patchy.
Sisley
Eau du Soir Eau de Parfum 100ml Dhs1,135. This is my all-time favourite scent. I’ve been using it for years—it just never gets old.
Charlotte Tilbury
Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir, Dhs370 This elixir makes my skin feel fresh and hydrated every morning. It’s become a staple in my routine.
