Suraya Rustam

I am blessed to have the opportunities to experience so many different makeup brands and get to play with various qualities, textures and so on.  

Every day, I’m bursting to share my thoughts about this formulation and that design and everybody around me seems to want more and appreciate it. 

That led to the creation of this blog.  This is where I can sing, dance or rant about everything that I have tried, from luxury high-end to drugstore offerings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did you start blogging?

Six years ago, I was inspired when I found out that my client’s daughter was making a full-time income blogging and traveling the world. I thought, “why couldn’t I do that?”.

After giving it some thought, I requested a web designer to create a website for me. I did blogging on and off but eventually, I shut down the website. However, I couldn't help but think about blogging even while working a full-time job as I needed a way to creatively express myself.   

When I finally made a decision to get serious about blogging, I learned Figma and Webflow online and created this website. And so began the process of really learning about blogging. I’ve discovered that even above the joy of writing, the best part of blogging is by far the relationships made. It makes the sharp learning curve worth it!

I write about makeup, fragrance, skincare, and wellness. I’ve always loved makeup and all things beauty. As a little girl, I’d sit and watch fascinated, as my mom applied bright red lipstick on her lips. Then, I’d beg her to apply on mine pink (my fave colour even then).

What are your stats? (age, height, weight etc)

I’m 5ft 4” and can honestly say that I have no idea how much I weigh. I like to feel healthy and confident in my clothes so I eat well and exercise to achieve this without numbers. As for my age, I’m 39 years young and feel grateful that I feel more and more comfortable in my own skin with every year that passes.

Who takes your pictures and what equipment do you use?

My tripod and I capture the bulk majority of my content but I occasionally hand over the reins to my lovely sister, Nasiba! Equipment-wise, I’m a Sony girl through and through. My favorite lens for it is the 35mm f 1.8 and I shoot all video and vlog content with this lens and my Sony A6400. My trusty side kick.

I would love for you to try my brand/ product! How can I go about doing this?

Firstly, thank you so much for thinking of me! I’m so honoured you would like my opinion on something you’ve decided to launch. Please do reach out via the ‘Contact page’ and I will get back to you asap. Hopefully we can work together soon.

I’m always looking for incredible people and partners, let’s get in touch!
