I'm a true nature girl at heart but I love cities! There is something about the energy and pulse of a city I just can’t get enough of. However, the pollutants in the city air tend to make skin dry, vulnerable and susceptible to all sorts of skin issues. Of course, we all know dirty air isn’t great for the skin, but did you know it can actually add years to your face?

Could you tell me a little bit about the inspiration behind Studio Naenna? 

The inspiration behind Studio Naenna has evolved over the years but the main goal is to support and represent handloom weavers in the international market, and acknowledge the beauty and skill of their handmade items.

Authenticity, harmony, empowerment…and the art of slowing down.

This is the story behind our bags.

Prepping your skin is one of the most important steps before any makeup application if you want a natural, glowing and radiant look. It's all about exfoliating and hydrating your skin to help your skin feel refreshed, smooth and moisturized.

Products used: Global Face Trio, Global Face Serum, Global Treasures, Jade roller 

I've always been a fan of natural makeup looks which ENHANCES your own unique beauty rather than covering it up. So today, I'm showing you how to do a super simple, soft smoky eye that will take you less than 10 min! 

In December last year I went to visit one of our retailers in Hong Kong - me Me & ME and we shot a little video of me showing the founder Ursula Wong how to get a natural makeup look using only a few key products.

The result of Lina's journey to the Far East: An invigorating and uplifting scent that awakens the senses with grounding sandalwood, and notes of crisp and refreshing japanese yuzu and ginger.

MIKAEL tells the story of a man, despite his current circumstances, travels back to his ancentral home of Iraq to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming a professional soccer player. When most films we see about the Middle East focus on war and violence, MIKAEL is a story of hope that shows another side of the Middle East.

Watch the video of our visit to the camp. 

Hi friends,

After months of hard work on the new look, I'm so thrilled to share everything with you!  We're so happy with it, and I'm excited for you all to experience the entire Global Collection. Each and every product is unique and I look forward to introducing them to you. 

I’ve poured my heart into every aspect of this entire creation, and have been loving every step of the journey. Everything from where we source the ingredients, to the formulating, to the celebration of Global Beauty, is all aligned with who I am and what I believe in.  An all-embracing, globally conscious way of living. Being Global is about caring for the world as a whole, and all people. Global Beauty is more than just skincare or makeup. It's about embracing who we are, our differences and loving the skin we are in.  

It’s been the core of our mission from the very start to share this message, and I’m so proud of my little team for helping us bring this vision to life. It has been a collaborated effort on so many levels and I’m so thankful. I couldn’t have done this on my own. 

A big thank you goes out to:

Kordo Doski:

My rock, my other half, co-founder & creative director is a filmmaker and has an amazing eye for visual art. His creative direction for our Global Beauty photo shoot and new branding has been huge and it’s so much fun working and collaborating together. He’s the best life and travel companion ever and is always up for my crazy adventures.

Bryan Jenkins:

Our friend, operating manager and the ultimate multi-purpose guy, manages production, ships out our packages, and handles administrative. He helps me run the business from our studio in LA, especially when Kordo and I are away traveling.

Thank you also to my little Global Family for all your ongoing efforts and for being big parts in this creation.
