Behind every captivating look on the Emirates Fashion Week runway stands the artistry of Makeup Art Academy Paris & Dubai and Maap Cosmetics — where French elegance meets Emirati sophistication.

Founded by JZK (Janine Zenk) — CEO of Makeup Art Academy Paris et Dubai and Creator of Maap Cosmetics — this partnership brings the essence of haute beauté française to Dubai’s fashion scene.

“Makeup is not about covering — it’s about revealing confidence and emotion,” says JZK.

Maap Cosmetics, a professional makeup line made entirely in France, is renowned for its high-performance, paraben-free, cruelty-free formulations, designed for the spotlight — from runway to film. Every shade and texture embodies the precision and sensuality of Parisian craftsmanship.

Backstage, the professional French makeup team from Makeup Art Academy Paris turns beauty into an act of storytelling — sculpting elegance through light, emotion, and instinct. Their refined artistry sets the tone for the season’s most striking fashion moments.

A global visionary and entrepreneur, JZK has built an empire rooted in creativity and excellence, inspiring new generations of makeup artists across Paris, Dubai, and beyond.

“Beauty is a dialogue between light, texture, and soul — and France has always spoken that language fluently.”

With this collaboration, Emirates Fashion Week celebrates the power of French artistry — timeless, confident, and effortlessly chic.
