SAMINA MALIK | British Fashion Designer & Personal Makeup Coach in Dallas

​

Samina Malik is a London-trained British fashion designer, personal makeup coach and beauty entrepreneur based in Dallas, Texas. She is the founder and creative director of MÆISONALI, also written as Maison Ali, an independent modest fashion brand creating bold, original and limited-edition womenswear for women who want elegance, individuality and coverage without becoming conventional.

With more than 25 years of experience across fashion, makeup, beauty and personal image, Samina’s career has been shaped by one enduring purpose: helping women express who they are more confidently and completely.

Her creative journey began at the London College of Fashion before developing into an international career spanning London, Germany, Abu Dhabi, Singapore and Dallas. After beginning her professional beauty journey with Benefit Cosmetics, Samina went on to become an established personal makeup artist and makeup coach, helping women understand their features, colouring, skin, products and individual approach to beauty.

​

During her years in Singapore, she built Samina Malik Makeup & Image Design into a highly recommended personal makeup coaching business, earning hundreds of positive reviews and becoming a trusted name within Singapore’s international community. Her work included makeup lessons, personal product consultations, makeup shopping, corporate beauty services and collaborations with brands including Benefit Cosmetics and Sephora.

Bloomberg Television Singapore became one of her most significant corporate clients. For three years, Samina created and managed the hair and makeup support required for its television presenters and studio appearances, bringing her understanding of professional image into a fast-paced international broadcasting environment.

Her beauty expertise eventually led her to create SCEPTR Cosmetics, a halal-friendly and vegan beauty brand designed around the real needs of modern women. The brand and Samina’s work have received recognition through publications and platforms including Harper’s Bazaar Singapore, Sassy Mama Singapore, Expat Living Singapore, Singapore Expat Women, AsiaBizToday and VoyageDallas.

The Founder and Fashion Designer Behind MÆISONALI

​

Fashion design is not a departure from Samina’s beauty career. It is the natural culmination of everything that came before it.

As founder and creative director of MÆISONALI, Samina designs bold, modern modest fashion for women who want clothing with identity. The independent fashion house is known for original prints, expressive silhouettes, beautiful fabrics and limited-edition pieces that combine modesty, comfort and unmistakable visual presence.

Her collections are designed for women who want more than safe, predictable clothing. They are for women who value individuality and want to feel modern, elegant and memorable without compromising their personal values or preferred level of coverage.

Samina’s understanding of makeup gives her a distinctive perspective as a fashion designer. She sees the complete image: how a colour works against the skin, how a silhouette changes proportion, how fabric moves, how beauty and clothing communicate together, and how every decision contributes to the way a woman feels.

Personal Makeup Coaching and Makeup Consultations

​

Alongside her work as a fashion designer, Samina continues to share the beauty knowledge she has developed over more than two decades.

Her personal makeup coaching is designed for women who want practical, intelligent and highly individual guidance—not a generic makeover or a complicated routine they cannot recreate themselves.

Her approach considers the woman’s face, skin tone, features, lifestyle, age, confidence and existing makeup habits. Whether she is helping someone update a dated routine, select the correct products, understand changing skin or learn how to apply makeup with greater confidence, Samina’s purpose is not to disguise the woman in front of her.

It is to help her recognise and enhance what is already there.

Fashion, Beauty and the Whole Woman

​

As a British-Pakistani designer, mother of four and internationally experienced creative entrepreneur, Samina designs and teaches from lived experience. Her work has been shaped by multiple cultures, reinvention, motherhood, faith, beauty, fashion and a lifelong understanding of how deeply personal a woman’s appearance can be.

She does not believe women should become quieter, less expressive or less visible as they grow older. She believes personal style becomes more meaningful when a woman has lived enough life to understand herself.

Through MÆISONALI and her personal makeup coaching, Samina brings fashion and beauty together to serve the whole woman—her identity, her lifestyle, her values and the way she wants to move through the world.

Bold by instinct. Unforgettable by design.
