Thousands of years ago, women from the Middle East were wearing saffron for colors or the burnt almond as kohl as their make up. Making yourself pretty came thousands of years ago from the Middle East. It is there in the blood of the females in this region. No wonder Dubai is one of the strongest market for the makeup industry,” said Samira.
Samira has come a long way from being an architect to a graduate in makeup. She told us why following one’s passion is the most important thing. “My mother was the most beautiful for me and she was my inspiration as she was always doing her makeup and I loved the way her face was constantly transforming. As a teenager, I pursued my degree of being an architect and when I finished my studies, I decided to pursue my passion. There are times when we do things that we are not passionate about due to pressure from society and parents. In 2004, I started going to a makeup school in Dubai and after graduating in 2007, I joined max factor. In 2010, I came up with the idea of starting an academy and in 2013 it got approved.”
