DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iraqi-American Huda Kattan has become one of the most recognizable names in makeup around the world.
Her eponymous empire Huda Beauty, a makeup line valued at $1.2 billion, is now a favourite among A-list celebrities and artists around the world.
Her personality has been key in connecting to the public via social media, a major driver for her makeup known for its vibrant colour and contouring popular among Arab women. She’s part of a growing vanguard of lines built around personalities, an expanding business model as more-established brands face slower sales.
Speaking in Dubai, Kattan says “makeup as a form of self-expression will just grow even more.”
