These summer-ready MENA beauty essentials are all about that bronzed, glowy, SPFed-up energy. Think sun kits, lip glosses that glisten, and perfumes that teleport you poolside.
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.
