Noha.

Makeup educator. Editorial artist. Founder of The Makeup Lab — the studio she built to teach women the technical framework that professional makeup artists use, so they could be self-sufficient on the days that matter most.

Editorial portrait — Noha
Training

Trained in Paris under editorial educators at Make Up For Ever Academy, Milan with independent editorial artists working between Vogue Italia and Fendi, and a residency in London at the Charlotte Tilbury Academy. Returned to Cairo in 2014.

Practice

Editorial work for Vogue Arabia, Cosmopolitan ME, Identity, Cairo 360, and three regional brand campaigns. Bridal practice limited to one bride per Saturday in peak season — preference is for teaching, not application.

Philosophy

The most useful gift a makeup professional can give a client is not a face for a day — it is the framework to recreate it on her own. That conviction is the entire reason The Makeup Lab exists.

“I do not want to be in the room on the morning of your wedding. I want you to be in the room, on your own, calmly applying a face you understand.”
