Simi and Haze Khadra made a beauty line and a new reality.

Two Become One

"OH, LET'S MAKE YOU LOOK DIFFERENT!" says Haze Khadra. Perched on a marble counter, the Palestinian DJ/beauty entrepreneur/street-style star is using my face as a makeup-tester palette. Three small chess piece-like lipsticks are in her hands; she moves them strategically across my lips. Her eyes glint between green and yellow, like a cat's. "We try to keep our bubble very close," says her identical twin, Simi, a few weeks later. She's calling me from Beverly Hills, her voice hoarse from a weekend at Coachella. "There's public and there's private..... When the lines blur between the two, that's when people start to have anxiety.... [Before fame], I never had any issues."
