Shazia Yasmin-Hoque

After years of trial and error with my skin, I’ve curated a routine that genuinely works for me. Here are my tried-and-true favourites, plus the new discoveries I’m loving 🤍

I’ve been obsessed with perfume since my teens, and it’s the thing people recognise me for most. If you know me, you know I never smell the same twice, and the compliments never stop. Here’s my curated scent wardrobe, filled with the fragrances I truly love ✨

Makeup has always been tricky for me as a South Asian girl with warm undertones, shades either looked grey, too orange, or completely disappeared on my skin. Over the years, I’ve bought, returned, experimented, and blended my way through so many brands, formulas, and brushes just to figure out what actually works for brown skin in real lighting. This edit is personal. I reach for these products when I want that soft, glowy finish that looks healthy and effortless, not heavy or cakey. Every item here has survived long days, humidity, flash photos, and my chaotic vanity drawer. I’m picky, and if something doesn’t blend seamlessly, enhance my warmth, and feel comfortable all day… it doesn’t make the cut. These are the makeup and brushes that genuinely make me feel confident, radiant, and seen. If you’re a fellow South Asian girl chasing that perfect glow, this is the collection I wish I had when I started.
