Perfection 101: Episode 5

Have you ever looked at a celebrity’s makeup on social media or in a magazine and wondered why the same makeup doesn’t look the same on you? Have you ever bought the exact makeup products that a celebrity or influencer uses but have ended up with a completely different outcome despite following their tutorial step-by-step? If you answered yes to either question, then this episode is a definite must-watch. 

In this week’s episode, host Layla Akil and special guest Sahar Karmostaji – a Dubai-based makeup artist -expose the lies hidden in celebrity and influencer photos: social media is not a reflection of reality – with many flawless makeup photos being the product of photoshop and retouching. 

Sahar gives Layla a heavy makeup look in order to demonstrate that – even with a lot of makeup – it’s nearly impossible to get the exact same results as the photos you see on social media. Sahar then airbrushes Layla’s photos to demonstrate how celebrities and influencers edit their posts on Instagram. 

Ultimately, Sahar wants to let Mazaj’s viewers know that each one of us is created perfectly and that we are all beautiful in our own unique way. 

If you want to start embracing your own unique beauty, then watch Season 4 Episode 5 below: we promise you won’t be disappointed.
