Lead Beauty Advisor and Hands-On Tester

KM Mehazbeen

Beauty Advisor | Makeup & Skincare Expert | Creating Luxury Beauty Experiences

About

KM Mehazbeen brings over a decade of luxury-counter beauty experience to the BLC editorial team. Her testing focuses on what a lifting cream actually feels like and behaves like in a real routine: how it layers under SPF, whether it pills under makeup, how it shifts through a humid summer day, and how it ages in a jar.

Before joining the BLC project, KM advised customers across multiple luxury skincare and color counters, where she learned to read between the marketing lines and find the texture and formulation cues that matter for repeat use. That counter-floor pattern recognition is the backbone of our texture, finish, and layering observations.

She is the editorial team's primary reviewer for the everyday-use dimension of every product: real skin, real climate, real routines.
