Have you ever spent hours late at night watching makeup tutorials online and thought…
hmm love to be her/him one day.I bet you have as I have in the past. I have imagined working with famous celebrities and traveling around the world doing what I love, while getting paid for it.
So I took the chance, flew to Dubai and the rest was history.
I thought the life of a Makeup Artist was easy.
Believe me, I had to crawl my way into the industry, as years ago, makeup artists from my country
I had to train every single day crying while I drew eyeliners. I have lived in places not suitable for human beings and worked with impossible personalities.
But in spite of all that, I kept going. I honed my skills, trying to gain as much experience as I can, learned from different styles of makeup from different people, and always having that goal of stepping up in my career.
Fast-forward 15 years later, I still haven’t reached all my goals.
So far, I’ve crossed out a few things off my bucket list though – such as, worked for VIPs of Dubai, princesses, celebrities, work in media, my work published in magazines, attend classy events, meeting amazing people in the industry and so much more.
And maybe you don’t have to go through what I’ve gone through by taking our Platinum Makeup Course this Ramadan.
The Lipstick Makeup Institute is offering a 40% discount 25,000 AED to 15,000 AED for a limited time. If you take this course, I’m sure you’ll get ahead in the game really fast. Just call: 0528349964

We are all really please to be asked to participate in the Dubai modest Fashion Week.
It’s an amazing event.
The first time in the UAE.
this ben in London, Istanbul and New York,
It was inflicted with influencers, bloggers and amazing designers.
The models looked just so beautiful and elegant in the Beautiful designs all ver elegant for Dubais Modest Fashion Week.
There were so many designers that came to Dubai just for this event from all over the world.
As usual, The Lipstick Make Up Institute Teams just love Fashion Shows. We thrive on the adrenalin and the rush of the exciting challenges that the days bring. We love the pressure and th dramatic changes from designer to designer.
This time though there were not too may changes as it the Title of the Show says, The Modern Fashion Show! so hence the makeup had also to be minimalistic and not so pronounced. Delicate and flawless makeup was the dominant feature of the shows. This was so not to take anything away from the designers and the clothes.
I never knew that there so many ways to wear a hijab and look so cool. The clothes were very , ” now” and so in with fashion, we were all so impressed.
We just can’t wait for the next Fashion Show. This is the season of events and the teams are all busy bees.
.We can sail and watch the sunset together on The Palm Jumeirah.
Cannot wait. Congratulations to Everyone!!!!

As I have said, a portfolio can also be useful when applying for makeup opportunities.
All in all the course is about learning and about you.
Above all we look forward to hearing from you.
Have a look at our website to get some ideas.
Because we have an extensive range of courses. However, if you just want to learn for yourself this is perfect.
We are really honoured to be interviewed by the wknd khaleej times magazine. We gave a tutorial on achieving the no makeup look , The way we teach at The Lipstick Makeup Institute which is the trend now in Dubai and around the whole world .
How to achieve this gorgeous look ? This is the question everyone into fashion and beauty is asking. Its not as easy as you think. Thelipstick makeup instituteexpert gave a step by step beauty tutorial to answer all about this new makeup trend .
Here is our tutorial steps and makeup tips to our beautiful ladies in dubai and the lipstick makeup institute lovers .
Here are the STEPS below in print.
1 – Firstly, cleansing , toning and moisturising which is the most important step .
2 – Its so important to find the perfect foundation for your skin tone. You can even blend another foundation lighter or darker to get an effortlessy natural glow. Our skin colour changes constantly. A bit of sun and we are a shade darker. We must compensate for this.
3 – Secondly, You can blend the foundation well with a wet sponge or a brush. You must blend it in well though so its almost invisible. This is the sign of good foundation.
4 – You should contour under the cheekbone , jawline , chin, temples and nose. This will lightly to give defention to your features .
5 – Thirdly, apply correctors to even out the dark circles , then highlight the centre of chin , under eyes and top of cheekbones with a cream highlighter .
6 – in order to set the base use loose or translucent powder and blend it with a brush . this will ensure a matte finish .
7 – Lastly, run a brush through your eyebrows and highlight with a shade that is at least three or four lighter than your eyeshadow . this is to give a gentle defention .
Eyeshadow Tips
8 – apply an eyeshadow over your eyes . start with a lighter base and move on to a darker shade .
9 – take an angular brush dab it on a darker shade that complements the eyeshadow and apply it on top of your eyes , smudge it later with the brush ( you could avoid eyeliner completly ) .
10 – However, for mascaras you can choose to apply a combination one for length the other for volume .
11 – All in all. Although this may be true, to give your lower eyeline just the right amount of definition apply a beige liner and for a night time look you could substitute with a white liner .
12 -Another key point, for blush go for soft colours like peaches or oranges and for a night look you could use a bronzer or dark pinks depending on the lipstick you are wearing .
13 – apply a lipliner for lipstick , go for glossy ,understated colours in this case its rosy , brown avoid mattes .
Its so easy once you know how and follow instructions.
Long gone now are the days when we paste the make up and have rosy cheeks and seriously contoured cheekbones. Less is more as they say.
Please have a look at the pictures below and see our gorgeous model, Clementine Harriett transformed. She is beautiful anyway but glows with our expert makeup and Kryolan make up.
Our second day at #billionairemansiondubai where we are doing all the halloween make up! Scary stuff ha. One of the best nightclubs in Dubai.
Don’t you just love Dubai? Everyone just gets so involved and makes the most of every occasion. It really is a community like no other. I feel that everyone cares about themselves and loves one another and really do make friends easy here. Make up and photography brings everyone together in a unique way.
This is a city to party and make the most out of life. You would think in an Arab country things would be a little suppressed but Sheikh Mohammed in my eyes and really everyone I know we call him The Great Sheikh Mohammed. He is the greeters guy on this earth in my opinion, I can say that because my father is no longer with us!
He has given us an opportunity to come here and live our dreams. Given us the freedom to grow and create and party! I can’t thank this great man enough.
So getting back to Halloween, As I do tend to meander when I feel passionate about things which is basically everything!!
Here are some shots of our amazing Lipstick make Up Institute Team at work.
Hope you like them.

Here is the ghost that was occupying my desk ha ha!!
I just have to share these images with you from Arab Fashion Week Final day. It was so amazing. The models, The Lipstick make Up Institute Teams were just on fire as were the Lipstick Hair Teams.
Just a team effort. Its amazing the amount of people that come together and support each other and help one another.
Have a look at the photographs. behind The scenes are always the best. Backstage is where all the action takes place.
The Lipstick Make Up Institute is fast becoming in demand as is getting known because of our dedication. Hard work and commitment to our clients for being one of the best if not the best make Up Institute in Dubai. We work hard for this title though. Pure work but to be truthful it does not feel like work at all as its just what we love to do.
This is our motto on the wall, ” Love What you do and do what you love”.
Thats the slogan we all live by and as I say to everyone the day I stop loving it is the day that I will stop. Pack my bags and retreat to a far away island, open a bar, get a little boat to pull clients on water skis. Have a little tapas restaurant attached with a a Spanish/ Pakistani/ Irish twist!. I am half Pakistani and half Irish and tapas originates from Spain Thats where all the fusion come together.
Arab Fashion Week Final Day
Thats my dream and believe me one day I will do it but right now I am loving my life just too much but one day not too far away.
“Time to Chill” will be my new slogan to live my life by.
Have a little look at our last day anyway as I am rabbiting on ha!
