Where the stars go for a beauty fix

Kim Kardashian-West

Travelling to Dubai with Mrs KW in November last year was long-term make-up artist Joyce Bonelli. Her Instagram page has countless photographs of her famous clients – and 1.2 million followers would seem to endorse her talent. If you can afford her, and if she's available, then she could be sharing contouring tips over coffee with you in the UAE. Send her a Twitter request for an appointment at @joycebonelli. The Kardashians have also relied upon Mario Dedivanovic to perfect their pouts in the past. His signature style is a natural, dewy foundation, feminine full-lashed eyes and a glossy nude lip. If you want to emulate the K family's look – and have hundreds of dollars to spare – fly to the United States and attend one of his workshops. Visit www.makeupbymario.com

Where the stars go for a beauty fix

Nancy Ajram

There's one exclusive pampering palace that the Lebanese singer heads to when she's making a public appearance. Fady Kataya Beauty Lounge is where the 32-year-old has her hair and make-up perfected when she's in Beirut. Rumour has it that Ajram also flies Kataya and members of his team around the region to make her picture-perfect for all non-­domestic appearances.
