The Birth of a Beauty Haven
With over a decade of experience in the beauty industry, Muinat's journey to founding Mirrors Beauty is a story of passion meeting purpose. "I have been in the Beauty industry for more than 10 years and have a deep passion for beauty products, including personal interest in skincare, makeup, and other beauty products," she shares. This fervor for all things beauty wasn't just a personal indulgence – it became the driving force behind a vision to share curated products with others.
But Muinat's keen eye saw beyond her own enthusiasm. She identified a crucial gap in the market: the need for niche products and access to authentic beauty items. This realization, combined with her extensive industry knowledge, sparked the creation of Mirrors Beauty. "Our luxury retail store is committed to fostering inclusivity and providing a warm, and inviting atmosphere for an exceptional beauty shopping experience," Muinat explains.
The result? A haven for beauty enthusiasts seeking more than just products – a place where luxury meets authenticity, and where every customer can discover their perfect beauty match.

At the heart of Mirrors Beauty lies a meticulous selection process that ensures only the crème de la crème of beauty brands make it to the shelves. Muinat's approach to brand selection is both thorough and discerning. "We research and evaluate all our brands to ensure that they offer high-quality products backed by research and innovation," she reveals.
But it's not just about scientific backing. The Mirrors Beauty curation process also prioritizes uniqueness and reputation. Muinat adds, "We also ensure that our brands have products that are unique, and have a strong reputation for performance and quality."

For Muinat, beauty is more than skin deep. Her personal beauty philosophy encapsulates the essence of what Mirrors Beauty stands for: "My personal beauty philosophy emphasizes self-expression, self-care, and celebrating individual beauty in a way that feels genuine and empowering."
This philosophy permeates every aspect of Mirrors Beauty, from the products selected to the customer experience crafted. It's about providing tools for self-expression, encouraging self-care rituals, and celebrating the unique beauty of each individual who walks through the doors.
Luxury Redefined: The Mirrors Beauty Experience
When asked to define luxury in beauty, Muinat paints a picture that goes far beyond price tags and brand names. "Luxury in beauty is about offering a superior product that goes beyond basic functionality to deliver a sensorial experience, visible results, and a sense of indulgence and prestige to the consumer," she explains.
At Mirrors Beauty, luxury is a multifaceted concept that encompasses:

Behind the Scenes: A Day in the Life of a Beauty Curator
Curious about the daily life of a beauty entrepreneur? Muinat gives us a glimpse into her world, starting with her morning skincare routine. "I start with my face-wash, toner, Vitamin C, hyaluronic serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen," she shares. This commitment to skincare underscores the importance of building a solid foundation for any beauty regimen.
When it comes to makeup, Muinat's signature look is "a soft bronzed makeup look incorporating warm and brown tones." It's a versatile choice that speaks to the brand's emphasis on timeless beauty over fleeting trends.
And speaking of trends, Muinat's biggest lesson learned as a beauty curator is enlightening: "Do not follow trends, they come and go. Always create timeless pieces that will always be in vogue." This wisdom informs the Mirrors Beauty collection, ensuring that customers invest in products with lasting appeal.
Scents and Sensibility: The Power of Fragrance
No discussion of luxury beauty is complete without touching on the world of fragrances. For Muinat, scent holds a special place in her heart. When asked about her favorite scent memory, she paints a vivid picture: "One of my favorite scent memories is from a summer vacation spent near the ocean. The combination of salty sea air, and fresh coconut from nearby palm trees evokes feelings of relaxation, joy, and the freedom of being on vacation."
This appreciation for the transformative power of scent is reflected in Mirrors Beauty's fragrance collection. For a night out, Muinat's go-to scents are "D'ORSAY A coeur perdu L.B Eau de Parfum or Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum" – both exquisite choices that speak to the brand's commitment to offering niche and luxury fragrances.
