The Scene Styled 'Beat-the-MENA-Heat' Beauty Edit

Summer in this part of the world doesn’t ask for permission. It shows up early, sticks around, and demands a different kind of beauty logic - one built on SPF that lasts, oils that shimmer without slipping, and pigment that holds its ground.

This edit gathers heat-specific essentials from across the region: Mother Naked’s Salty Babe Kit, packed with everything the beach forgot to give you; Whind’s bronzing mist, which wears like light and smells like late afternoon; and Izil’s prickly pear oil, weightless but grounding. There’s Aiza’s Sukkar Rush, a high-shine lip treatment with honey and dates, and Loca’s blush stick, designed to move with your skin, not against it.

The colour is there - By Mina’s lapis mascara, Asteri’s matte pink liner, Hindash’s gold-peach pigment—but it’s never loud for the sake of it. Even the scents are precise: Kayali’s Capri leans citrus and soft sugar, Rasasi’s Oud Rosepulls you somewhere else entirely.
