HUDA KATTAN

The Dior Show Maximizer, the lash plumper, is one of my favorite products that I've used for so long.

A lot of beauty brands, they'll really infiltrate the States. But going out of the States, they struggle.

This transition of being a woman and a breadwinner - it took some time for my dad to get used that. It took some time for my husband. I was like, gosh, I've worked so hard to be here, and then all of a sudden I don't know if I feel comfortable being here.

My husband and I love the saying, success is not owned. It's rented, and rent is due every single day, and I really and truly believe that.

It's really important that we take away the shame associated with female hair loss and hair balding. It's just another beauty issue that we all can get through as soon as we start to feel more comfortable talking about it.

I try to take breaks from makeup on the weekends. I try to not to wear any on Fridays and Saturdays. It's good to let your skin breathe and it's good not to depend on makeup, to feel comfortable in our skin.

One of my favorite drugstore brands is NYX.

I love a full face of contour, lashes, lip liner - everything!

I can't promote makeup on Instagram if I don't believe in the product.

Being women behind a massively growing business is not an easy task, and the journey to find the right investors and to secure true partners has proven that.

Our goal at Huda Beauty is to inspire anyone and everyone to create their own idea of beautiful with all of the products we offer.

I was born in Oklahoma.

I think my story relates. When I started out, all I had was my passion and grit.

I want to shake things up, I want people to talk about it. It's really important that our brand flips the industry upside.

With Huda Beauty Angels, we're investing a portion of our personal family wealth to women-led brands that we believe in!

I feel like I've mixed my Middle Eastern and Western loves together.

I realized that my purpose really is to inspire people.

I'm hairy.

In Dubai, people respect you if you wear lashes to the grocery store. I've been at the gym at 5 in the morning and seen full glam, which, I think working out with your full makeup is just crazy.

I've always been obsessed with beauty, but never realized I could actually make a career out of it.

Makeup and beauty is essentially art so I really can't say that I dislike any trend. I love seeing innovation and creativity. It feeds my soul!

Anytime I think about my office, I think about creativity.

The more focused you are, the more powerful you will be in the long run.

To scale your business, you need to delegate responsibilities to others and establish a strong company culture.

I've had cystic acne; I've had it all.
