LA-based Palestinian twin sisters Haya and Sama Abu Khadra (aka Simi and Haze) have been fashion fixtures since their early teens. First spotted by Karl Lagerfeld for their impeccable style, the duo are now heavily involved in film, music, and just about everything cool.
Whether they’re hanging out with Selena Gomez and Kylie Jenner or DJing in Tokyo – the sister’s never compromise on style. But today, a good look is never complete without statement makeup, so we’ve rounded up our favourite looks and how to recreate them.
