After graduating from the University of Michigan in Dearborn, Huda Kattan moved to Dubai in 2006.
A few years later, she moved to Los Angeles where she studied makeup. Among her clients were celebrities such as Eva Longoria and Nicole RIchie.
Huda then returned to Dubai where she became employed by Revlon as a makeup artist.
In April, 2010, upon the advice of one of her sisters, Huda started a beauty-related blog which she named "Huda Beauty" on which she would post makeup tutorials and tips.
In 2013, Huda founded a cosmetics line which, like her blog, is also called "Huda Beauty. Her first product, a series of false eyelashes, was released through Sephora. The Huda Beauty label achieved success with the sales of the false eyelashes, which were famously worn by Kim Kardashian.
Huda's company, which is based out of Dubai, later began to offer other beauty products, including eye shadow palettes, liquid lipsticks, lip liners, highlighter palettes, foundations, concealers, baking powders and liquid eye-shadows.
Huda achieved popularity on Instagram, attaining more than 35 million followers as of 2019. Huda is ranked #1 on the "2017 Influencer Instagram Rich List", earning $18,000 for each post of sponsored content. Huda has been described as "a Kim Kardashian West of the beauty influencer economy", and was declared one of the "ten most powerful influencers in the world of beauty" by Forbes magazine. She was chosen as one of "The 25 Most Influential People on the Internet" by Time magazine in 2017.
In 2018, Huda began starring in her own original Facebook Watch reality series entitled Huda Boss alongside her family.
Needless to say, I was thrilled when she agreed to do an episode for I Inc and Beyond.
She openly shares many of her leadership philosophies as well as her belief that we all should strive to achieve both our passion and our purpose in our lives.
Hope you enjoy the episode and good luck with your own pursuits.

I am excited to share that PMI will be featured in the Lifetime television program Military Makeover: Operation Career on 28 September and 16 October at 7:30 AM ET hosted by Montel Williams. Operation Career captures the stories of military veterans transitioning out of the military and into civilian life. PMI’s segment features our very own membership product manager and military spouse, Kerry Brooks, and PMI member and veteran, Eric “Doc” Wright, who share their experiences with the military and how PMI is a valuable partner to US Military personnel, veterans, and spouses on the show.
PMI recognizes veterans’ unique qualities- strong leadership, strategic thinking, budget mindfulness, grace under pressure, and the ability to successfully complete a mission/project. These are all highly coveted skills in a project manager, and we want them to be part of the PMI family!
We know that as the world becomes more projectized, there is a high demand for qualified project professionals. Project management is an excellent choice of a profession for the hundreds of thousands of military personnel who transition each year, and their spouses, to consider as a life-long career. Many transitioning military service members are often underemployed and undervalued, leading to unsatisfying post-military careers. Many military personnel already possess the power skills and experience needed to become successful project managers, such as collaboration, communication, innovation and empathy.
With 1.3 million active US military and 18 million US Veterans, PMI has a dedicated program with resources military personnel need to successfully transition to civilian life. You can learn more about the program on our website at https://www.pmi.org/military.
When to Watch
PMI’s segment will air twice on The Lifetime Network and will be available 24 hours a day following the airings on http://www.militarymakeover.tv/.
Add the events to your calendar using these links: 28 September and 16 October.
Also, check out the following website and let me know if you are interested in the programs we are running for veterans:

I hope you’ll join me in watching and you are able to take advantage of the programs that we are running.
Good luck.
