BK Beauty’s Sarah Khalid Shares Her Likes, Loves And Life Lessons
Known to her tens of thousands of followers as Sarah BK, the Doha-based chemical engineering graduate turned beauty authority shares her love of all things feminine and fabulous
My signature style is: A soft feminine-modest silhouette with a twist. I like adding my own touch. Printed floral abayas and a monochromatic look with a pop of colour are my favourites. I also collect bags – I love a good bag shopping trip! In my handbag you will always find lip gloss – I can’t go anywhere without it.
My ultimate style icon is: Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser.
A hobby I am passionate about is: Writing and journaling. The place I find peace is my cosy sofa where I write and release my thoughts.
My most precious possession is: My collection of childhood video tapes and photo albums. I enjoy re-watching family moments from my childhood so much.
My last major purchase was: A Cartier Baignoire watch in my size! They tend to be very difficult to find…
When I travel I always bring home: A fridge magnet of course!
The last series that made an impact on me was: The Gilded Age. I loved how it discussed the late 19th-century period in US history marked by rapid industrialisation, social inequality, political corruption and the clash between old-money elites and new-money entrepreneurs. There were also nice dresses that inspired my next wedding look!
The restaurant that I could eat at eternally is: Zuma. I’m always craving their gyuhire sumibiyaki, which is a tender spicy beef tenderloin with sesame.
On a daily basis I tend to eat: Avocado and eggs on toast with an iced matcha latte (a must). My exercise regimen is three days weightlifting, three days Pilates with one day rest, and my top health tip would be consistency over motivation, always.
Something that recently changed my life was: Scrolling less and being present more. In a very fast world, it’s really hard to live a slow life and be present. I’m doing my best to do that.
My beauty must-haves are: SPF all year long, retinol for my night routine, Summer Fridays lip balm, YSL Babydoll pink blusher and Moonglaze Glazed highlighter stick.
I always fall down an Instagram rabbit hole when I find: Beauty hacks that I definitely don’t need and dreamy outfit boards that I want to recreate! My saved list is endless.
I am addicted to: Matcha. I can’t help myself but try every matcha spot I find on my way anywhere, everywhere!
My pet peeve is: I have a lot of those! But loud people and poor communication skills would top my list, that’s for sure.
I like to listen to: Amr Diab, Tchaikovsky, Drake, Kadim Al Sahir, Elissa – it depends on my mood…
I find inspiration in: Meaningful conversations, nature, art, jewellery, beautiful spaces, things done with love and dedication, kindness and a lot more. I find everything around me inspiring in some way.
My secret superpower is: Seeing both sides of every situation and still trusting my intuition.
My motto to live by is: Quality over quantity – always.
