Huda Beauty has become a standard household name in the beauty industry, and if you’ve never heard of this make-up mogul’s eponymous brand, then what have you been doing these last 10 years?!Â
We all know and love Huda Kattan and her business-savvy family. Born in America to two Iraqi parents, Huda’s childhood and career path were not necessarily beauty-based; before building her empire, the make-up mogul was working in finance. Around 2010, Huda decided to leave her 9-5 job to become a make-up artist – the rest is history.Â
From a blogger to a well-known influencer, Huda now has over two million followers on Instagram, four million followers on Youtube, and nearly three million followers on TikTok. It’s safe to say that she’s come a long way from ‘just a beauty blog.’ In 2013, Huda and her sisters Mona and Alya decided to start Huda Beauty after trying to buy false eyelashes and realising there was a gap in the market.
Seven years later and the Huda Beauty brand now sells more than 140 products, from your fave lippies to the coolest eyeshadow palettes. According to Forbes, in total, Huda Beauty brings in “at least $250 million in annual sales” – AKA Dhs918 million.
And lets not forget the most recent releases that Huda Kattan’s pursued: her amazing skincare line.Â
This year, Wishful Skin launched, and has already raked in 432k followers on IG, and with only a handful of products out. This passion project for Huda has deffo added to her unreal net worth!Â
With a cosmetics brand, her presence on social media as an influencer/make-up artist, and her family’s series Huda Boss, which launched on Facebook Watch in 2018, Huda Kattan’s net worth has amounted to $610 million.
Yup, Dhs2,240 million. Un. Real.Â
Forbes reported these stats in 2019 and gave Huda a position as one of ‘America’s Self-Made Women in 2019.’ We can’t imagine how much her net worth has rocketed since then!Â
