Crowned this year as an Estée Lauder ambassador, the Moroccan-Egyptian supermodel is a fashion week veteran, from her exclusive opening for Givenchy, to walking for Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Balenciaga, and Hermès. Hammam also champions women’s and children’s rights through her work with non-profit She’s the First.

Time to tone

“I love to use the Osmosis Epic Skin facial tool to sculpt and contour.”

Skin boost

“A hydrating serum is a must, so I use the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum and then the Eye Supercharged Gel- Creme for the skin around my eyes.”

Inside out

“I always start my day with the Mud\Wtr coffee alternative mushroom drink, and take supplements such as primrose oil, fish oil, and Moon Juice Super You.”

Moroccan mood

“I’ve grown up using natural oils from Morocco, so I always have 100% pure argan oil for my body and hair when needed, and natural honey as a facemask.”

The Lebanese model’s first fashion week saw her walk for Alexander McQueen in Paris, with high-profile shoots for Versace, Loewe, DKNY, and more following. Her first campaign with Ralph Lauren Collection drops later this year.

Over the line

“An underrated makeup brand I love for eye and lip products is Victoria Beckham. The lip liners’ consistency is my favorite.”

Tighten up

“I use the NuFace to massage my face; it’s like a workout. I saw results in two weeks, and my skin is definitely firmer and my face more toned.”

Lush lips

“My non-negotiable is lip balm. Speci cally, the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, and the Chanel lip balm I put on throughout the day.”

Chilled out

“As soon as I wake up, I slide ice cubes all over my face, specifically under my eyes to calm any pufiiness.”

The first Saudi model to grace an haute couture runway, her introduction to fashion week was opening – and closing – the Antonio Grimaldi FW18 show in Paris. Her latest coup saw her shot wearing April by Noura for Vogue Arabia’s June 2023 cover.

Sweet lips

“I like to wear TooFaced Cocoa Bold Lipstick in Chocola Chip. I use this as a lipstick and blush.”

Clean start

“The Bioderma micellar water is the one makeup remover I’ve been recommended by all the makeup artists I’ve worked with.”

Classic scent

“I’ve only ever used Chanel No5 for as long as I can remember. It’s my mother’s scent and I’ve never changed to anything else.”
