10 Cosmetics Huda Kattan Can Not Live Without
She left the world of finance for her passion for beauty and, six years later, has become the most famous Muslim blogger who has her own make-up line. The Iraqi, Huda Kattan, was born in Tennessee (United States) 32 years ago, far from the strict Islamic rules that women should wear hijabs and tunics to go out. Since she was little, she was attracted to the world of beauty and her dream was to be a star makeup artist on the East Coast of the United States, but she studied Finance because her parents wanted her to have a university degree. Without giving up on this dream, Huda started writing her blog in 2010, while living for work in the United Arab Emirates, and one day she decided to leave everything behind and become a make-up artist, working with one of the most admired celebrities, Joe Blasco, in Los Angeles.
After this period, the young woman established her residence in Dubai and worked as a make-up artist for women and tourists in the city. In addition, Huda decided to change her blog and began publishing makeup tutorials with the aim of helping women who wanted to enhance their beauty and did not know how. Kattan’s empire has grown in such a way that she has her own makeup line that is sold in Sephora stores in the UAE. As a curiosity, the star product of Huda Beauty is the false eyelashes, inspired by Kim Kardashian, a reference for the young woman. Here are 10 cosmetics Huda Kattan cannot live without:

The Obsessions series is another line of palettes that were inspired by Huda’s love for sophisticated shades derived from bold reds, pinks, and oranges.
