Marjan Khodadad is a Dubai based fashion designer and computer engineer, two worlds that rarely meet in one person. That mix of creative design skill and technical training gives her an unusual angle on style and beauty alike.
Her honors include the Best UAE Fashion Influencer award, and she is a licensed blogger covering fashion and beauty topics as well as lifestyle. Dubai is her home base, a city famous for its love of style and glamour.
A Benefit Cosmetics Middle East Invitation
Benefit Cosmetics Middle East hosted a POREfessional concealer event, and Marjan Khodadad was part of the celebration. A fashion designer who also holds a computer engineering background makes a truly fascinating guest at a beauty launch, since she examines products using a creative lens and a technical one at once.
The POREfessional name is a familiar favorite to beauty fans everywhere. Benefit says its POREfessional primer sparked an entire legacy of smoothing and blurring makeup, and the new concealer extends that family tradition into a fresh formula. Naturally, such a launch deserves a proper party.
So the celebration began, and Marjan Khodadad was there to meet the brand's newest star. Beauty stories such as this one prove that a fashion mind and a technical mind can fall for the same formula.
Marjan Khodadad Tries Shade Matching
Here is the part that gets beauty lovers excited: finding the shade that fits your skin. Marjan Khodadad tried shade matching at the event, and she absolutely loved the result.
Concealer shade hunting can be pretty tricky, so a great match is a truly big win. The POREfessional Concealer comes in 35 color true shades, which gives a huge range of skin tones and undertones a home. Each shade includes a letter that names its undertone, and that makes the search far easier for anybody standing at a makeup counter.
Benefit also offers a virtual shade matching tool for those who want to explore a match at home. Marjan Khodadad works in fashion, so her eye for color and tone makes a shade matching session especially fun to imagine. Seeing Marjan Khodadad enjoy her result is a great reminder that a flawless look begins at the match. Once the shade is right, the concealer melts into skin and the whole face looks awake and fresh.
Treats Served Alongside the Looks
Benefit Cosmetics Middle East served looks and treats. From the POREfessional setup to every sweet bite and sip, the whole event was designed for the ultimate Benebabe experience.
Picture a beauty gathering that offers a makeup station and a dessert table, both worth a visit. That is the Benebabe spirit, playful and indulgent, and it makes a launch event a joy to attend. It is a delightful idea, and it proves that a launch can celebrate beauty and hospitality together. Sweet bites and tasty sips gave the beauty part of the day a delicious partner, and the event offered both in one very happy spot.
A brand that thinks about snacks as carefully as it thinks about skin is a brand that loves hosting. Makeup lovers get to try products and snack happily, all under one roof. For a fashion designer such as Marjan Khodadad, an event styled so carefully is a treat for the creative eye.
Why Marjan Khodadad Loved the Result
Benefit describes The POREfessional Concealer as a multitasker. Use it under the eyes or on blemishes, and anywhere else on the face too, and the buildable, full coverage formula adapts to whatever level of coverage you prefer. It is lightweight, finishes in a natural matte look, and offers up to 24 hours of blurring and smoothing coverage that hydrates.
The performance list keeps going. The formula is waterproof and sweatproof, and it resists humidity too, which is a wonderful bonus in sunny, glamorous Dubai. It is also crease proof, so skin looks smooth and even all day, and it is non-comedogenic, making it suitable for oily and acne prone skin. One review site reports that the formula contains 76 percent skincare ingredients, so the makeup pampers skin as it blurs pores. Those are facts concealer fans celebrate, and Benefit knows it.
Add the shade range and the shade matching experience, and it is easy to see why a great result at the event made such a very happy impression on Marjan Khodadad.
The POREfessional Family Story
Every great event has a hero product, and this one comes from a famous family. The original POREfessional primer helped Benefit become the number one prestige primer brand in the US and UK, according to the brand. That success inspired a lineup of smoothing and blurring makeup, including The POREfessional Foundation and now the concealer.
Benefit also proudly highlights a global family of pore experts numbering in the thousands, all trained to help people solve pore dilemmas. That level of care explains why the brand loves a hands-on event that lets guests meet products in person and find a shade match that suits them.
The result is a launch that celebrates skin and style, and snacks too, all at once. Marjan Khodadad, a Dubai fashion designer and computer engineer holding an award of her own, was part of the fun, and her happy shade matching result says plenty about the day. Benefit Cosmetics Middle East served looks and treats, and the Benebabe experience delivered from the first swipe to the last sip.
