THE BRONZER

Moonglaze Tones Collection

Saudi make-up artist Yara Alnamlah has launched her debut bronzer line under Moonglaze – and it’s already generating buzz. Aptly named Tones, the range features six silky, buildable powders designed to deliver natural warmth and definition across a wide spectrum of skin tones. With sleek packaging, a finely milled texture and that signature Moonglaze glow, it’s a standout addition to the region’s ever-evolving beauty scene.

THE COLLABORATION

Huda Beauty x Saint Levant

In a powerful meeting of beauty and culture, Huda Beauty has teamed up with Palestinian-French artist Saint Levant to create Kalamantina – a new shade of its cult Faux Filler Jelly Oil. Inspired by the kalamantina fruit, a symbol of Palestinian heritage, the collaboration goes beyond make-up, with proceeds supporting agricultural and cultural preservation efforts in Palestine. The shade has already gone viral, marking one of the region’s most talked-about creative pairings to date.

THE BLUSH

Summer Fridays Blush Butter Balm

Equal parts skincare and make-up, this buttery blush delivers a healthy, sun-kissed glow. Enriched with a trio of nourishing butters, hyaluronic acid and barrier-boosting ceramides, it melts seamlessly into the skin for a dewy, buildable flush. With six flattering shades – from ‘soft strawberry’ to ‘dusty rose’ – and a dual-ended brush to match, it’s the effortless way to look instantly fresh-faced.

THE LINER

Asteri Beauty Calligraphy Eyeliner

Asteri’s new Calligraphy Eyeliner is inspired by the precision of calligraphy. It features an ultra-fine brush tip and a richly pigmented, matte formula that glides on with ease – whether you're sketching a soft flick or going full graphic. Available in six shades, from inky black ‘night’ to metallic ‘sterling’ and vivid ‘wave’, it’s designed to last up to 48 hours without smudging, even in the region’s heat. Bonus: it’s vegan, ophthalmologist-tested and laced with skincare ingredients like Vitamin E and C.

THE HIGHLIGHTER

SimiHaze Beauty Soft Strobe

The latest drop from SimiHaze Beauty is a glow-giver with impact. Soft Strobe is a creamy highlight powder that melts into the skin for a dewy, light-reflecting finish – no shimmer, no stickiness, just radiance. With five versatile shades and a silky, talc-free formula powered by marine-rich hydration boosters, it works as a face highlight or a sheer wash of colour on the eyes. As always, it comes housed in the brand’s signature sculptural compact – this time made from 70% renewable wood pulp.

THE FRAGRANCE

Amouage Reception

Amouage’s latest scent, Reception, blends rich storytelling with masterful composition. Created as a tribute to the brand’s long-standing partnership with Harrods, this warm, layered fragrance is available exclusively through the iconic retailer. Notes of coffee, lemon, frankincense and cedarwood unfold with depth and elegance, while the formula is aged in oak barrels and infused with sandalwood for added complexity. Finished in a sculptural bottle dressed in Harrods green, it’s a thoughtful nod to the spirit of Omani hospitality.
