Miss Leah Kateb has had us in a chokehold since Love Island USA’s 6th season episode 1. Her funny and charismatic personality has won us over, and so has her beauty.
Besides being a literal full-time goddess, our girl makes just a little bit of extra effort to look effortless AF even when she is and doesn’t have to, but thankfully, she revealed to us her tips and tricks and the kind of products she uses over on TikTok.

She has also become a full-time content creator on social media, and we follow everything she does.
So here’s the list of makeup products she uses to look bomb AF everyday.
Hourglass’ Colourless Vanish Airbrush Primer

She starts her makeup routine with the Hourglass Colourless Vanish Airbrush Primer, and she just applies it all over her face like a moisturizer.
Hourglass’ Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil

Leah brushes her brows downwards with the spoolie and fills them in with the pencil and later uses it as eyeliner.
REFY’s Brow Sculpt
REFY, Brow Sculpt, Dhs76, refybeauty.com
She glues her brows down with the REFY Brow Sculpt eyebrow gel to keep them at place. Leah said that when she lightly brushes it out with the brow gel and doesn’t put too much as her brows “stick up in a way that I’m not the biggest fan of,” she says in her TikTok video.
MAKEUP BY MARIO’s SurrealSkin Awakening Concealer
MAKEUP BY MARIO, SurrealSkin Awakening Concealer, Dhs115, sephora.ae
Leah uses this concealer to conceal underneath her brows and lids to prep it for her iconic soft dainty liner.
Charlotte Tilbury’s Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer
Charlotte Tilbury, Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer, Dhs260, ae.charlottetilbury.com
She then proceeds to cover her lids with this bronzer, and funny enough, she uses a stipple brush that’s used to blend foundation for concealer lol. “Guys, I know every brush I’m using is wrong; everything in the order I’m doing it is, too, but it works for me!”
MAKEUP BY MARIO’s Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette
MAKEUP BY MARIO, Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette, Dhs205, sephora.ae
After setting her eyelids with bronzer, she uses the lightest white shade on the palette and puts it on her inner corner to define her eyes; then she proceeds to use the browner shades all over her lid to give it “warmth,” as our queen says.
Kosas’ Soulgazer Intensifying Gel Eyeliner
Kosas, Soulgazer Intensifying Gel Eyeliner, Dhs97.19, revolve.com
After using the Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil to draw a faint liner, she tight lines with this gel eyeliner to make the eye makeup come together and it slays.
Charlotte Tilbury’s Spotlight Hollywood Beauty Light Wand Highlighter
Charlotte Tilbury, Spotlight Hollywood Beauty Light Wand Highlighter, Dhs185, ounass.ae
She uses this highlight wand to lock in her inner corner, cheekbones, and the tip of her nose to give it that extra pizzazz.
Ilia’s Limitless Lash Mascara
Ilia, Limitless Lash Mascara, Dhs113.39, revolve.com
This is one of Leah’s all-time favorite mascaras, and all she does is apply one coat, and voila, you get a false set of eyelashes you didn’t know you had!
Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation
Giorgio Armani, Luminous Silk Foundation, Dhs275, sephora.ae
After applying mascara, Leah uses the Haus Labs’ Triclone Skin Tech foundation, but unfortunately, it’s unavailable in the region. We found this foundation that acts like a dupe of hers, and it’s just as good.
Maybelline New York’s Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer
Maybelline New York, Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer, Dhs60, watsons.ae
Leah uses this concealer to give herself a more lifted look and enhances it in a light shade. Her trick is to let this sit on her face for a while to make it more pigmented, and it’s much easier to blend out.
Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk Concealer
Giorgio Armani, Luminous Silk Concealer, Dhs210, bloomingdales.ae
Leah uses two concealers, and she does not layer them; she uses them to cover her acne scars all over her cheeks.

She then contours her cheekbones, forehead, nose, and jaw.
Huda Beauty’s Easy Bake Powder

She sets her entire face with this cult fav and lets it sit for a bit.
NYX Professional Makeup’s Jumbo Eye Pencil
NYX Professional Makeup, Jumbo Eye Pencil, Shade: Vanilla Ice Cream, Dhs30, lookfantastic.ae
So Leah used a white eyeliner pencil, but we weren’t sure what the product was. We found a dupe to save the day. She dabs it on her inner corner for that extra inner eye glow, and she adds some to her brow bone, which kind of creates a halo effect. PURRR.
Freck’s Faux Freckle Cosmetics Neutral
Freck, Faux Freckle Cosmetics Neutral, Dhs70.25, beautybay.com
So we couldn’t find the exact product she uses, but this does about the same thing, and what Leah does is she puts it all over her nose and cheeks.
Tower28’s MakeWaves Mascara
Tower28, MakeWaves Mascara, Dhs80.99, revolve.com
If you thought Leah was gonna rock only one coat of the previous mascara you got it wrong sister, she goes in to layer the Tower28 MakeWaves Mascara to lengthen and thicken her eyelashes and she’s right about how this combo is perf.
