A biography for Huda Kattanhasn’t been written yet.
“Fun gets people going; fun gets people excited.”
“What's getting me excited is a lot of times Huda Beauty is that brand that people get when they are just starting with makeup and I hope we can get them to start being more artistic and more experimental.”
“I love a full face of contour, lashes, lip liner - everything!”
“Sometimes, you really need to trust your gut.”
“I ended up moving to Dubai and going into finance after college because of family pressure. I was trying to love it, but I just didn't.”
“With Huda Beauty Angels, we're investing a portion of our personal family wealth to women-led brands that we believe in!”
“There's something sexy about a lip with a hint of red in it.”
“The Dior Show Maximizer, the lash plumper, is one of my favorite products that I've used for so long.”
“Product development is emotional for me! It's really important as a brand that we feel that our products are going to be life-changing for everyone who buys them. We won't ever launch something we don't feel strongly about.”
“I don't think I knew what 'Vogue' was as a child. I grew up in a little town in Tennessee, so that wasn't something we ever would think of.”
“Although we represent this almost drag-like beauty at Huda Beauty, I'm not only this person who is made up and always likes to wear their hair flawless and their makeup flawless.”
“The more focused you are, the more powerful you will be in the long run.”
“The power of cosmetics and the effect they can have on one's happiness and confidence is very real.”
“Being happy, being healthy, is the most important thing.”
“I'm either full-glam or no makeup at all.”
“I always felt different and it was because I was Middle Eastern. Where most people were very fair, light-skinned, and had blue eyes, I was hairy with dark hair and dark skin.”
“I basically shop in my sleep!”
“Being from the Middle East paired with my upbringing in the United States had pretty polarising effects on the way I perceive beauty.”
“I like things on my desk that are pretty and make a statement. It's important that whatever is on my desk inspires me because that's where I spend a lot of my time working and creating things.”
“If I'm asking people to spend money on Huda Beauty products, I have to genuinely believe we have created the best.”
