Huda Kattan's Everyday Makeup Look — Decoded by a Beauty Editor

Huda Kattan built a billion-dollar brand on a single beauty proposition: brown-skin glam, no apologies. Her off-duty Instagram look — the one she wears to airports and Zoom calls — is the most-saved makeup look on Arab Pinterest. Here's how to recreate it.

The base

Huda layers — primer, foundation, concealer, cream contour, cream blush, then a thin set with powder only on the T-zone. Her base looks heavy in process and weightless in the result because every layer is sheered out with a damp Beautyblender.

The eye

A warm bronzed-copper smoke. Not a full cut crease, not a soft glam — somewhere in between. The trick is keeping it concentrated on the outer two-thirds of the lid and lifting it upward at the outer corner.

The lash

Half-strip lash on the outer corner, then her own (Huda Beauty) Classic in Samantha or Giselle pressed on top. This creates the cat-eye lift without a heavy black line.

The lip

Overlined nude-mauve — not full overdrawn, just a touch outside the natural line at the cupid's bow. Liquid matte or creamy satin.
