The approach to makeup differs between formats. In commercials, focus is on quick beauty results. In film and TV, it’s about how makeup adapts to lighting, sweat, time on set, and character evolution.
Example: In the Emirati historical series Shaghab, produced in UAE, different makeup setups were used for day and night scenes.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi have become production hubs for Gulf-based content. From international-grade studios to highly skilled makeup teams, the UAE offers optimal ground for Saudi productions.
Khaleeji-style makeup is a blend of tradition and modern aesthetics—incorporating warm tones, intricate textures, and styles adapted for hijab and cultural modesty. It plays a major visual role in regional storytelling.
Are you producing a visual project in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or across the Gulf and looking for a cinematic and culturally aware makeup artist?
A true professional goes beyond technique:
Deep cultural understanding
Flexibility with shooting schedules
Ability to work respectfully with Arab producers, actors, and directors
Highlighting real-world makeup transformations from Arab TV projects (e.g., MBC or Netflix Arabia) adds credibility. Showcasing dramatic “before and after” makeup emphasizes the artistry.
✅ Verified Portfolio
✅ Before/After Samples
✅ Experience in location-based shoots
✅ Team compatibility
✅ Cultural fluency and flexibility
Due to the cultural diversity of actors and the natural lighting of the region, makeup must be adaptive and professionally tailored. Plus, tools and talent in Dubai are more globally aligned.
Absolutely. Many Saudi series are filmed in the UAE using experienced cinematic makeup artists familiar with Khaleeji and Saudi visual identities.
With 25+ years of experience across MBC, Netflix Arabia, and regional TV projects, Hossein Yazdi’s team offers culture-aware, cinematic-grade makeup artistry tailored for Gulf storytelling.
