Make-up hacks, flight essentials, and more, straight from the Lebanese-Romanian entrepreneur…

MAKE-UP / FRAGRANCE

Favourite make-up brand and why? It’s difficult to pick just one brand. However, my most used products are all by Dior.

Foundation / concealer: I love the Dior Backstage Face and Body Foundation, it’s my go-to product. They’ve got the perfect formula with great coverage without being heavy and I’ve never had a more perfect colour match. As for concealer, I prefer the Nars Radiant creamy concealer. The best coverage, consistency and formula.

Go-to lip colour: Laura Mercier, Red Chocolate. I have been using this colour for years. I am also obsessed with the Dior Addict Lip Glow balm because it revives the natural colour of my lips while hydrating and giving them a beautiful glow!

Mascara: Favorite mascara of all time has to be Lancôme Hypnôse.

Signature scent: Chanel No. 5, this fragrance is truly a timeless masterpiece!

Make-up hack: Use powder for fuller lashes. Just dust your lashes with loose translucent powder after your first coat of mascara. This will add volume by making them look thicker. Add a second coat of mascara to cover the dustiness, and you’ll see the difference right away.

HAIR

Hair schedule: Shampoo every two days. Deep condition regularly. I use a hair mask or serum once a week. And a cut every six to eight weeks.

Style secret: It is no secret that I always use my magical Wonderhair shampoo from my very own brand, Take Me To Wonder, which gives me the most incredible volume.

Treatments: I use my Wonderhair serum once every week. It brings out the natural shine of my hair.

Off-duty hair look: A loose, low bun or I just leave my hair straight.

SKIN & BODY

Skincare routine: In the morning it goes like this… cleanser, active Ingredients, moisturiser, then sunscreen. In the evening my routine is… cleanser, hyaluronic/ niacinamide, retinol, then moisturiser.

Go-to product for skin emergencies: Any product that has niacinamide as that calms down redness and irritation. I usually use the one from The Ordinary, it has 10% niacinamide and 1% zinc. It works incredibly for my skin.

Cleansers: In the morning, I use a gentle moisturiser like Dr. Barbara Sturm’s. At night, I use an exfoliate cleanser like the Skinceuticals Glycolic Renewal Cleanser.

Alice Abdelaziz

Flight essentials: Hydrating masks for sure from 111Skin and hand creams from Guerlain.

Miracle product: Right now, it’s the cream by Augustinus Bader. I’m completely in love with it.

Manicure: Light beige or light pink. My favourite salon at the moment is Urban V Spa in Beirut.

Sun cream: Obviously my Wondertan tanning oil and sunblock from my Take Me To Wonder brand.

INTERVENTION

Attitude to injectables: I believe whatever makes the person comfortable and happy but in moderation. Never do injections just because they are trendy. Do it because it suits you.

Cosmetic dermatologist: Dr. Ramy Khoury. He’s Lebanese and I love his work.

Secret surgeries: I removed my permanent lip fillers through surgery.

DIET & FITNESS

Go-to snack: Almonds and raw nuts.

Workout method: I do Mega Reformer, Lagree fitness.

Guilty food pleasures: Chocolate and ice cream.

Beverage preference: Tea.

Breakfast: I usually skip breakfast.

Food dislikes: Beetroot, eggplant and beans!
