My Professional Makeup Kit & Product Reviews
Real talk on the products I actually use on my brides and in my own daily routine. No filters, just what works.
Come with me on a makeup haul. Here's a look at some of the products I've recently added to my professional kit, including staples from Huda Beauty, NARS, and MAC.
A quick peek at my recent shopping trip where I restocked some of my professional and personal favorites from Sephora and Nykaa, including the Tarte Glamazon palette and the Forever52 makeup fixer spray.
I am absolutely in love with these Shimmering Jewels Eyeliners from Parul Garg Beauty. The shades Emerald and Amethyst are super pigmented, easy to use, and stay in place without smudging.
Trying out these beautiful Korean contact lenses from K Skin Bar in the shade 'Eva Grey'. They are incredibly comfortable, even for sensitive eyes, and give a stunning enlarging effect.
A full swatch video of some amazing palettes from Character Cosmetics. You can see the incredible pigmentation of their eyeshadows, blushes, and lip colors on full display.
Unboxing a lovely package from Scarf Girls Inc. They sent over some beautiful hijabs and accessories, and I'm showing you how I style one of their soft, white scarves.
About More From My Kit
I don't just show you pretty packaging. Whether it’s a luxury foundation or a budget-friendly liner, I test it on my own skin first. If a product melts in Mumbai humidity or settles into fine lines, I’ll tell you straight—so you don't waste your money on stuff that looks good in photos but fails in real life.
After 13 years in the industry, my kit has become a reflection of what actually delivers results. You won't find products here just because they are trendy; they are here because they survive a long Nikah, a humid Walima, or a full day on set.
What I Test & Why
When I share a haul or a review, I am thinking about how the product performs for different needs:
- Foundation & Base: I put formulas through wear tests to check for oxidization and heat resistance.
- Color Cosmetics: From Parul Garg Shimmering Jewels to Character Cosmetics palettes, I look for true-to-pan pigmentation and ease of blending.
- Accessories: I prioritize comfort, like the K Skin Bar Korean lenses I swear by for an enlarging effect without the irritation.
Building Your Own Vanity
Many of you ask how to build a kit without breaking the bank. My approach is simple: invest in your base and your tools, then have fun with the color cosmetics. I often recommend high-end concealers paired with affordable blushes because, honestly, the quality gap has closed significantly in the last few years.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by all the beauty choices out there, don't worry. I offer 90-minute virtual consultations where we go through your current stash together. We identify what works, what needs to be replaced, and exactly what shades will match your undertone so you stop making expensive mistakes at the beauty counter. Allah Humma Barik, I love helping you find your glow.
