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.

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!
