Editor’s Letter
Welcome to The Beauty Issue. This month, Emirates Woman celebrates beauty in all its forms, from the inside out. From exclusive interviews with beauty industry heavyweights including model turned mogul Rosie Huntington-Whiteley page 24, globally renowned makeup artist and entrepreneur Charlotte Tilbury page 64 and Net-A-Porter’s Global Beauty Director Newby Hands page 44.
We also stay close to home and champion the Middle Eastern-based brands going global on page 74.
We speak to supermodel ‘The Body’ Elle MacPherson, co-founder of WelleCo about supplements and how to shine from the inside, uncover what we should be sleeping on to get the right amount of beauty sleep on page 72 and the positive effects of an IV-induced beauty regime on page 98. Home-wise we’ve compiled the most beautiful books to adorn your coffee table page 100 and selected the coolest additions to up the ante in your bathroom on page 88. Our cover star this month is Barkha Shewakramani, founder of UAE-based beauty brand Barkha Beauty. We were impressed by her beauty acumen (the Hollywood set including Hailey Bieber are fans) and desire to give back. Having donated her products to the nurses working during this time of crisis both across the UAE and in Europe, in an attempt to lift their spirits during a challenging time it was clear to us that beauty is indeed not only skin deep. Having a beautiful heart counts, and is a magnet for miracles. The best tools page 58, new technology page 94 and at home remedies on page 90 all ensure you’ll be feeling primed to take on Q3, full force.
