The Best Beauty Looks Last Week Delivered Pure Editorial Edge

Last week, the beauty world moved with a rhythm entirely its own. Everywhere you turned, someone was stepping out in a look that felt theatrical, daring, and ready for the spotlight. And while Fashion Trust Arabia delivered its fair share of showstopping looks, the beauty wave extended far beyond Doha. Editorial spreads, red-carpet appearances, and live performances all carried the same pulse. It was a week where artistry took center stage, and every face told a story.

As the days unfolded, the momentum surrounding red carpet appearances became a spark that seemed to ignite the rest of the industry. The carpets set a tone of high-impact glam, yet similar energy spilled across magazine covers, on the streets, and even on social media. It felt as though the entire beauty community received the same memo: this was the week to deliver unforgettable looks.

The Looks

Makeup

Tyra Banks stepped into Fashion Trust Arabia with a beauty look that immediately set the evening’s aesthetic. A bold winged detail swept upward with graphic precision, giving her eyes the kind of dramatic lift that merges Old Hollywood glamour with a modern, sharpened edge. A deep wash of eyeshadow intensified the effect, while neutral lips grounded the look. That interplay between restraint and boldness made her glam feel both commanding and exquisitely balanced.

Monica Denise, meanwhile, took on the week with an entirely different energy: her signature “glitter glam.” The smoky fusion of purple and black shadow created a moody frame around her eyes, and long, fluttering lashes emphasized the drama. Tiny crystals placed across her lids caught the light with every turn, adding unexpected sparkle. Paired with matte nude lips, the look delivered a bold, stage-ready impact.

Hairstyle

Transitioning to hair, Tyra Banks continued her vintage narrative with a short finger-wave pixie that radiated 1920s glamour. Created with meticulous precision, the blonde waves cascaded across her crown in a smooth, continuous pattern. Indeed, it harmonized beautifully with the sharp elegance of her makeup.

Then came FKA Twigs, offering a striking, futuristic twist on the finger-wave theme in her Rolling Stone cover story. Her hair featured tiny, high-gloss waves sculpted exceptionally close to the scalp. It was an editorial take that amplified her avant-garde sensibilities. The nearly invisible sides heightened the edge, resulting in a look that fused nostalgia with bold, forward-facing creativity.
