Luscious Cosmetics

Luscious Cosmetics are specially formulated to withstand hot and humid climates. Most western cosmetic brands lack this feature, hence creating quite an inconvenience for users who live in warmer parts of the world. The makeup melts away as soon as you step out into the scorching sun, making the makeup look patchy and tacky. Being a Dubai-based brand, Luscious designed the makeup formula for the hot climate of the UAE. This led to the creation of high-quality and long-lasting makeup products, that don't end up making your face look cakey.
