There’s a growing trend of eco-friendly and vegan cosmetic brands, but there is another type of cosmetic that’s also growing high in demand which is Halal Cosmetics.

According to a recent report by Grand View Research, the global halal cosmetics market is expected to reach 52.02 billion USD by 2025. Why the sudden demand for halal cosmetics you ask? the halal cosmetics market is filling a major concern for a certain genre. The younger generations are emerging as conscious consumers and cosmetic companies are pushed to diversify their products.

That being said, I’ve had the pleasure to collaborate with a Singaporean cosmetic brand called “Zahara” founded by 2 sisters who couldn’t find halal cosmetics and decided to
create an amazing line of cruelty-free makeup.

The cosmetics are of high quality and highly pigmented which makes it perfect for any complexion, and above all causing no harm to your skin. From their Oxygen Nail Polish that allows oxygen and water vapor to pass, which make them also wudhu friendly for Muslim women.

I decided to go for an Island Girl look, a golden, sun-kissed and beachy look!

Products I’ve Used for this look :

Smoke Palette Eye Shadow

This palette is definitely one of my favorites! I was always under the assumption cruelty-free makeup would be low pigmented, Zahara cosmetics definitely changed my opinion on this. This eyeshadow palette was highly pigmented.

This simple 4-in-1 palette can be used for a soft smokey look or a Smouldering and seductive one, ideal for day and night!

With 4 shades; 1 base, 1 highlighting, 1 contouring and 1 defining. This palette has you ready to go in one adorable little compact!

Halal, highly pigmented and in stunning popular shades, you’ll want to order these in every color!

Their oxygen formula allows water and oxygen to pass through the polish to reach your nails. Say goodbye to unhealthy nails, and hello to freedom.
