She reflects on her previous logo, noting, “When I first created the logo, I had no idea how big Huda Beauty would become, so saying goodbye to the old logo was definitely sad.” However, “I always keep my focus on where I want to take the brand next, and the rebrand felt like the perfect step forward.”
Huda aims for the new design to be “bold yet approachable,” which truly embodies the essence of her brand. She continues to lead Huda Beauty while inspiring beauty lovers worldwide.
Huda Kattan’s Essential Beauty Tips
Humidity-Proof Makeup
As both a beauty influencer and the founder of her own brand, Huda Kattan knows how to stay flawless, especially in humid weather. She stresses the importance of using the right setting products.
“Be sure to set your foundation and concealer with a high-quality loose powder,” she advises. A reliable setting powder is crucial for keeping makeup in place and preventing it from sliding off throughout the day.
If humidity is a concern, Huda recommends the Easy Blur Primer from Huda Beauty.
“Its water-based formula absorbs quickly, ensuring it doesn’t feel heavy or sit on the skin’s surface like silicone-based primers,” she explains. “Plus, it’s non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog your pores, which is essential in humid weather.
It provides a smooth, invisible layer that minimises the appearance of pores, resulting in a soft, blurred finish.”
Huda notes that this primer prepares the skin perfectly for makeup, giving an instant blurring effect while ensuring your look lasts all day. Paired with the Easy Blur Foundation, you can achieve that flawless finish she’s known for.
Huda’s Everyday Beauty Essentials
When it comes to her personal beauty routine, Huda has a clear favourite–“I absolutely love my Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder. I use it every day to set my makeup.” This product not only gives a flawless finish but also enhances the longevity of her look.
Additionally, she is especially fond of her newly launched Easy Blur Foundation. “I really wanted to create a foundation that feels like a true serum on the skin, and that’s how the Easy Blur Foundation was born.” she shares.

Huda emphasises that the Easy Blur Foundation can transform your complexion, stating, “The Easy Blur Foundation offers a buildable blur, so you can achieve that stunning ‘no filter needed’ effect. It’s infused with 1.5% niacinamide, which helps target oiliness and large pores while smoothing out uneven texture.”
Her team focused on creating a formula that feels weightless, allowing it to melt seamlessly into the skin, providing a gorgeous blur with customisable coverage.
“We really aimed to create a formula that feels like it melts into your skin, giving you that gorgeous blur and customisable coverage. Plus, it looks amazing on all skin types,” she says.
The “ONE” Product She Can’t Live Without
When asked to choose just one beauty product, Huda admits it’s a tough call. “I always find it tough to answer this question because I can never choose just one product! But if I had to pick, I’d go with my Lip Contour 2.0.
It’s perfect for a quick lip touch-up and instantly elevates her look.
A Trick for Long-Lasting Lipstick
Huda shares a clever tip for making lipstick last throughout the day. “Try setting your lips with your loose powder to make them last all day.” It’s a simple step that can keep your lip colour looking fresh for hours, even in Singapore and Malaysia’s sweltering heat!
