US-Palestinia­n beauty moguls Simi and Haze Khadra are taking their eponymous label to the UK by officially launching at luxury London department store Selfridges.

US-born brand SimiHaze Beauty was launched in 2021 and boasts a range of products, including stick-on makeup designs.

stick-on makeup designs that can be placed on the face for a bold beauty look achievable within seconds. The sticker book features an array of edgy designs inspired by their favorite DJ looks from the past, such as chrome wings, neon negative space eyeliner and holographi­c cat-eyes.

SimiHaze Beauty has expanded to include a range of products, including lipsticks, bronzing powders, a lifting mascara and more.

The beauty entreprene­urs and DJs, who grew up between Riyadh, Dubai and London, are known for their contempora­ry beauty looks and are often spotted in public with futuristic makeup, something they have managed to encapsulat­e in their brand.

“Our discovery of beauty didn’t come from a place of ‘oh, I have to wear makeup to look pretty,’” Simi previously told Vogue Magazine. “It was more ‘how can we use color in an interestin­g, fun and bold way?’”

The twins follow in the footsteps of celebrity peers, such as Kylie Jenner and Selena Gomez, who have launched their own beauty companies.

In the past, the globe-trotting sisters have fronted campaigns for brands including Off-White, Cartier, Michael Kors and 7 For All Mankind.

Meanwhile, their DJ career sees them traveling everywhere from the south of France and some of the Cannes Film Festival’s biggest parties, to California’s Indio Valley to play sets in front of eager crowds at the Coachella music festival.

They released their debut EP, featuring collaborat­ions with the likes of Dev Hynes, in 2018.
