You might recognize her products in some of your favorite beauty stores, but Huda Kattan’s story is even more striking than her cult-favorite makeup brand.
Kattan got her start as a celebrity-focused makeup artist but soon realized that she had the entrepreneurial spirit to start something big — and she was determined to change the world of beauty on a large scale.
In an effort to empower women from every cultural background, she started a YouTube channel and blog back in 2010 that focused on beauty tips, tricks, and products. Recognizing her knack for innovation, she co-founded Huda Beauty in 2013 with her sisters Mona and Alya.
Now, Kattan serves at the CEO of her well-loved makeup brand, has a following of 37 million users on Instagram, and recently launched an online reality show called "Huda Boss."
She stopped by TODAY to share her story, along with a few makeup demos that you can do at home. Want to recreate the look? Here are the raved-about products that Kattan uses to achieve some of her most sought after beauty trends.
