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.

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.

Legacy Mini Lipstick
AED 54 | Asteri Beauty

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.

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.
