Lightweight Setting Spray

If you’re into a low-effort glow, NYX’s Buttermelt Stick is a solid choice. True to its name, it melts into the skin seamlessly, adding balmy, soft-focus radiance.

Lipstroke Pencil

AED 65 | CTZN Cosmetics

For soft definition without the harsh lines, this lip pencil is a great place to start. Creamy and easy to blend, it subtly enhances the natural shape of the lips rather than overpowering them. Wear it alone for a blurred, lived-in effect or pair with balm or gloss for an amped-up finish.

Mini Revealer Concealer

AED 70 | Kosas

A beauty-editor favourite for a reason, this creamy concealer does more than just cover. Lightweight yet buildable, it brightens dark circles, smooths redness and leaves skin looking fresh rather than flat. The hydrating formula blends seamlessly into the complexion, making it ideal for coverage that still looks like skin. 

Available at SEPHORA.ME


Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara

AED 40 | E.L.F. COSMETICS

This is easily one of the best budget tubing mascaras we’ve tried. First, it does not budge – no ‘panda eyes' come mid-afternoon. The ultra-fine wand allows you to get into hard-to-reach inner corners, while also giving a pretty, separated effect. 

Available at SEPHORA.ME

Filled Brow Sculpt & Tint

AED 58 | Mina Alsheikhly

This tinted brow gel is a quick fix for fuller, more defined brows. The lightweight formula fills sparse areas while brushing hairs into place for a groomed yet natural effect. With its precise applicator, it’s ideal for everyday use, delivering polished brows in under a minute.

Mini Blush Stick

AED 60 | haneenalsaify

If you love a creamy, skin-like flush, this mini blush stick delivers. The balm-to-cream texture melts effortlessly into the skin, giving cheeks a soft, natural-looking glow that’s easy to build but never heavy. Perfect for on-the-go touch-ups, it also works tapped onto lips for a cohesive, low-maintenance look.

Legacy Mini Lipstick

AED 54 | Asteri Beauty

Small in size but big on payoff, this mini lipstick delivers rich colour with a comfortable, satin finish. Infused with nourishing ingredients, it glides on smoothly without drying the lips, making it an easy everyday option that will wear off well throughout the day.

Intense Colour Long Lasting Eyeliner

AED 45 | KIKO

Italian label Kiko doesn’t get nearly enough love. There are a few standouts, particularly the eye pencils. Richly pigmented, these are the key to easy impact. They glide along the lash line with no dragging and blend smoothly, requiring little to no effort. We love the moody green, but equally, burgundy works beautifully as a softer, more striking alternative to black. 

Available at KIKOCOSMETICS.COM


Easy Blur Primer

AED 70 | Huda Beauty

Proof that good skin prep doesn’t need to cost a fortune, this silicone-free primer smooths and refines without that slippery feel. Lightweight yet effective, it softens the look of pores and texture while creating the perfect base for make-up to last longer – especially welcome on warmer days.
