Huda Kattan Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Welcome back to Biography Flash. I'm your host, and today we're diving into the recent developments surrounding Huda Kattan, the Iraqi-American beauty mogul behind the global powerhouse Huda Beauty.

Just this month, Huda Beauty made headlines by ending a partnership with Love Island USA star Huda Mustafa after a livestream controversy. On October 28th, Mustafa and her boyfriend Louis Russell were conducting a TikTok Live when a caller used a racial slur directed at fellow Love Island cast member Olandria Carthen. In the footage that went viral, both Mustafa and Russell appeared to laugh at the remark before ending the call. On November 1st, Huda Kattan released an official statement on Instagram saying the behavior did not align with her brand's values. She emphasized that at Huda Beauty, kindness and humanity are at the heart of everything they do, and that the brand takes all forms of racism very seriously. The partnership had been announced on October 31st, making this one of the fastest influencer brand withdrawals in recent memory. Kattan made it clear the brand would remove all related content from social media platforms and in-store displays.

This incident comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Huda Kattan's activism around the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Back in August 2025, she posted a video on TikTok discussing the humanitarian crisis in Palestine, which triggered backlash online with some users alleging the content was antisemitic. The Anti-Defamation League requested that retailers including Sephora review their partnership with Huda Beauty. Sephora subsequently announced it was actively reviewing the matter internally. Cosmetics Business reports that Sephora removed Huda Beauty from its Fall Express campaign during this period. Kattan responded with an Instagram video defending her position, stating there was a smear campaign against her and clarifying that she does not condone hate of any kind, including antisemitism.

What's notable is Kattan's consistent commitment to Palestinian causes. In a separate collaboration, she partnered with Palestinian singer Saint Levant on a special shade of Huda Beauty's Faux Filler Lip Oil called Kalamantina, with proceeds supporting Palestinian agriculture and cultural preservation.

Throughout these developments, Kattan has emphasized accountability and the importance of using her platform responsibly. The recent months have certainly tested both her brand's values and her personal activism.

Huda Kattan Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

In the whirlwind of beauty industry headlines over the past few days, Huda Kattan has once again proven why she remains one of the most influential figures in the business. The most significant story centers on Huda Beauty decisively ending its high-profile partnership with Love Island USA star Huda Mustafa after just over a month. This move came in response to a widely criticized livestream in which Mustafa and her boyfriend laughed following a racist slur, prompting public outrage and swift calls for accountability. According to Cosmetics Business, Huda Beauty posted on Instagram emphasizing that kindness and humanity are at their core, and Mustafa’s actions were not aligned with those values. The decision was made quickly, with all campaign content deleted and the partnership dissolved—one of the fastest reversals in recent influencer-brand collaborations. Mustafa publicly apologized, calling her laughter a nervous reaction and pledging a donation to the NAACP, but Huda Kattan’s brand made it clear that its principles come first. Laffaz and IMDb also highlighted the backlash and Huda’s strong stance, with many in the beauty community viewing this as a blueprint for brand accountability in the influencer era.

On the business front, Huda Beauty continues to ride high. Traackr’s latest data puts the brand among the top indie beauty players of 2025, credited with exceptional creator retention rates and ongoing cultural relevance. After regaining full ownership of her company earlier this year, as covered by Scoop Empire and Facilities Management Now, Huda Kattan quickly reinstated herself as CEO—her return marked not just by new product launches but by a renewed, streamlined vision for the brand, as Mojeh Magazine reports. The latest rebrand includes discontinuing some existing product lines, such as GloWish, but Huda promises major treats ahead for beauty fans.

Charity remains at Huda’s core. This past week, she unveiled a collaboration with Palestinian singer Saint Levant for a new Faux Filler Lip Oil, named Kalamantina. According to Arab News, the campaign directs proceeds to organizations supporting Palestinian agriculture and cultural preservation, with Huda publicly reaffirming her and the brand’s solidarity with Palestine.

On social media, Huda Kattan’s profile has been equally active. She’s shared candid behind-the-scenes content and continued using her massive platform—over 50 million Instagram followers—to advocate for humanitarian causes and challenge beauty standards. Scoop Empire also notes her consistent openness about her Iraqi heritage, the pressures of the industry, and her determination to prioritize both ethics and impact in every sphere of her work.

While Huda has faced backlash, especially regarding her outspoken support for Palestine, she remains unapologetic, telling The Jerusalem Post and others that advocacy for human rights is not up for negotiation, even when it attracts criticism from major retailers like Sephora who are reportedly reviewing her products.

That’s the pulse on Huda Kattan—a woman balancing billion-dollar ambition with vocal activism, all while leading a global beauty revolution.

Huda Kattan Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

This week has been a whirlwind for Huda Kattan. Huda Beauty made headlines by decisively ending its partnership with Love Island USA star Huda Mustafa after a livestream, aired just days ago, showed Mustafa and her boyfriend laughing in response to a caller’s racist slur targeting a fellow cast member. Huda Beauty announced on Instagram November 1 that such behavior was unacceptable and did not align with the brand’s values, and the fallout was swift—content related to Mustafa was purged from all platforms and displays, and the brand issued a call for accountability and meaningful learning. The partnership had been one of Huda Kattan’s “most requested” collaborations this fall, launched with fanfare just six weeks earlier to promote the Easy Bake Duo Loose Powder. According to Cosmetics Business, the collaboration became one of the fastest influencer-brand ruptures in recent beauty industry memory. Mustafa issued an apology, and despite her pledging to donate to the NAACP, Huda Kattan and her brand signaled zero tolerance for any association with such incidents.

Less than a week after this, Huda Kattan herself has remained active and highly visible on social media. According to Arab News, she used Instagram to express strong support for Nadeen Ayoub, the first Miss Palestine to compete in Miss Universe, underscoring her enduring commitment to amplifying Palestinian representation and humanitarian causes. Huda Kattan’s posts consistently push for awareness of the ongoing crisis in Gaza: she has not only voiced solidarity, but last year made a $1 million philanthropic donation to organizations such as Human Appeal and Doctors Without Borders, and earlier this summer, launched a charitable partnership with Palestinian singer Saint Levant, releasing a new product shade called Kalamantina with proceeds benefiting Palestinian initiatives.

But life as a vocal public figure hasn’t been without its own share of controversy for Huda Kattan. As recently as August, reporting from Cosmetics Business reveals that LVMH-owned Sephora undertook a formal internal review after a video Kattan posted about the Israel-Palestine conflict drew backlash online, spurred in part by allegations of antisemitism from the Anti-Defamation League. Kattan responded in an Instagram video, firmly rejecting hate or antisemitism of any kind and explaining that her words had been misinterpreted—a removal she claimed was her own decision to de-escalate further hostility. She reaffirmed opposition to all forms of hate and stood by her advocacy for the Palestinian cause, even as controversy threatens business relationships and public profile.

Through it all, Huda Kattan’s central message is clear: the values of her brand are non-negotiable and her activism remains a key element of her ongoing legacy. For her, the intersection of business, social responsibility, and personal conviction continues to define both opportunity and challenge in equal measure.

Huda Kattan Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Huda Kattan, founder and CEO of Huda Beauty, has found herself navigating some of the year’s most high-stakes brand turbulence. Just in the past week, global headlines have focused on Huda Beauty’s decision to swiftly end a major collaboration with Love Island USA star Huda Mustafa. The partnership, announced less than two months ago and described by Kattan herself in campaign teasers as the “most requested” brand collab, was anticipated to fuel excitement around the new Easy Bake Duo Loose Powder. Yet, the deal came to an abrupt end after Mustafa, during a TikTok Live with her boyfriend, was filmed laughing when a caller used a racial slur targeting her Love Island co-star. In a statement posted November 1 to Instagram, Huda Beauty publicly cut ties with Mustafa, stating, “kindness and humanity are at the heart of everything we do. Unfortunately, one of our recent collaborators has displayed behaviour that does not align with our values. We know many members of our community and team were hurt and offended by these actions.” According to The Independent and Cosmetics Business, all traces of Mustafa’s campaign with the brand were quickly scrubbed from store displays and social channels, highlighting Kattan’s decisive leadership.

The incident spiraled across social media, as fans and influencers dissected both the original livestream and Mustafa’s immediate and later apologies. Olandria Carthen, the target of the slur, addressed the situation on Instagram, explicitly rejecting racism and advocating for accountability. The conversation quickly morphed into a broader examination of what kind of responsibility brands and creators hold when facing racist speech in real-time. Rolling Out and Economic Times covered the online backlash, with some observers noting that Huda Beauty’s tone was not punitive but instead centered on inclusion, diversity, and accountability.

Meanwhile, Kattan herself has not issued a separate personal statement about the Mustafa controversy but has faced her own scrutiny over the summer for a TikTok video on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which led Sephora to publicly review their relationship with Huda Beauty, as reported by Cosmetics Business and Israel Hayom. Though the company maintains enormous commercial influence, these dual flashpoints—first around geopolitical commentary, now around internal partnerships—underscore how deeply social and political issues can affect beauty business operations.

On the business front, Huda Kattan has recently reclaimed full ownership of Huda Beauty, a move in June 2025 that consolidates both her financial and creative control, which many industry watchers see as significant for the long-term evolution of her personal brand and product innovation pipeline. There have been no new product launches or public appearances reported in the past 24 hours, with Kattan’s attention presumably focused on reinforcing the brand’s values amid this public aftermath.

Huda Kattan Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Huda Kattan, the powerhouse behind the billion-dollar Huda Beauty empire, has once again dominated headlines this week—not merely for her business acumen, but for her unflinching stance on brand values and global politics, all while juggling the scrutiny that comes with being one of beauty’s most visible figures. According to Cosmetics Business, the most striking development is the abrupt end of Huda Beauty’s high-profile partnership with Love Island USA star Huda Mustafa, barely six weeks after their much-hyped collaboration launched. The trigger? A TikTok Live on October 28th, during which Mustafa and her boyfriend Louis Russell appeared to laugh after a caller used a racist slur targeting another Love Island contestant, Olandria Carthen. Huda Beauty’s official Instagram statement called the incident “deeply upsetting,” emphasizing that “kindness and humanity are at the heart of everything we do” and that Mustafa’s “behavior does not align with our values.” The brand swiftly removed all content related to Mustafa from its platforms, and Kattan, who just regained full ownership of Huda Beauty in June, made it clear that accountability—not cancellation—was the goal. Rolling Out and The Independent confirm the speed and decisiveness of the brand’s response, framing it as a public reckoning with the realities of influencer partnerships in an age of instant backlash.

Behind the scenes, Kattan’s own past controversies are still part of the conversation. Just earlier this year, Sephora, Huda Beauty’s primary retail partner, was “reviewing the situation” after Kattan faced accusations of sharing anti-Israel and conspiratorial content related to the Israel-Palestine conflict, as reported by both The Independent and Israel Hayom. This week’s Mustafa incident only sharpens the spotlight on Kattan’s delicate balancing act as both a brand founder and a politically outspoken public figure. Social media remains divided: some applaud Huda Beauty’s zero-tolerance stance, while others question the brand’s consistency, given Kattan’s own history of provocative statements. Kattan herself has not personally commented on the Mustafa fallout, but her absence speaks volumes—her team is clearly letting the official statement do the talking.

On the humanitarian front, Kattan continues to leverage her platform for advocacy. Arab News highlights her recent show of support for Nadeen Ayoub, the first-ever Miss Palestine, as Ayoub prepares to compete in the Miss Universe pageant. Kattan took to Instagram to celebrate Ayoub’s historic achievement, calling it “so much bigger than pageantry—it’s about strength, pride, and representation.” This follows Kattan’s ongoing activism for Palestine, including a $1 million donation to humanitarian organizations in Gaza and a charity lip oil collaboration with Palestinian artist Saint Levant. Her public appearances—particularly on Instagram—remain a mix of beauty launches and geopolitical commentary, blurring the lines between influencer, entrepreneur, and activist.

In the business realm, beyond the Mustafa saga, there’s little public activity to report; Kattan has kept a relatively low profile on new product launches or major appearances in the past 24 hours. But the fallout from the Mustafa incident is still reverberating, with Cosmetics Business and other outlets tracking how the episode could impact Huda Beauty’s partnerships and brand equity moving forward.

Huda Kattan Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Huda Kattan, the powerhouse beauty mogul behind Huda Beauty, has found herself at the center of one of the year's most significant social media firestorms. In the last few days, the brand’s name has dominated headlines following a swiftly executed and highly public split from “Love Island USA” contestant Huda Mustafa. The rift unfolded after Mustafa was seen laughing at a racial slur directed at fellow cast member Olandria Carthen during a now-viral livestream with her boyfriend Louis Russell. According to Complex, the incident triggered immediate outrage and Huda Beauty, in a show of corporate accountability, posted on Instagram to announce the end of their partnership, stating that kindness and humanity are core values, and that racism in any form is simply unacceptable.

NDTV confirms the split came with a broad removal of Mustafa’s content from all Huda Beauty platforms and in-store displays, reflecting the brand’s commitment to community sensitivity. The statement, echoed across Rolling Out and Poprant, emphasized disappointment and pain felt by both employees and fans, and called for real change in response to the incident. The beauty and influencer spheres have reacted forcefully, with Bella Hadid publicly distancing herself from Mustafa in the days immediately following the brand’s announcement, raising questions about the long-term future of Mustafa’s online presence and partnerships.

Social media has been ablaze, sparking intense debate about accountability and responses by influencers to racially charged incidents. Economic Times highlights the immediate and thorough apologies issued by Mustafa on her channels, characterizing the response from Huda Beauty as decisive. Across platforms, users called for even stricter standards for influencer partnerships.

Amid this drama, the business side of Huda Kattan’s empire remains steady but is clearly navigating delicate reputational terrain. Cosmetics Business reports another controversy has surfaced within the same window—this time centered directly on Kattan herself. Sephora is reviewing its retail partnership with Huda Beauty following backlash from a previous social media post by Kattan about the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Although details remain vague as the original video was deleted swiftly, the Anti-Defamation League has publicly pressured retailers to reconsider their ties with the brand. Kattan, addressing followers in a candid Instagram video, adamantly denied any antisemitic intent, stating that her message was misinterpreted and she stands firmly against hate of any kind. Historically, Kattan has been vocal about humanitarian crises, repeatedly asserting a willingness to risk her entire business in defense of her principles.

No major new products, collaborations, or public business events have been reported in the past 24 hours, as Huda Beauty focuses on public relations recovery and maintaining its position with partners like Sephora. At this moment, Kattan’s biography is defined less by business launches and more by her stance on urgent social issues and her efforts to steer her brand through complex waters of public accountability and values alignment.

Huda Kattan Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Welcome back to Biography Flash. I'm your host, and today we're catching up on the latest happenings in Huda Kattan's world. Let's dive in.

Just today, October 29th, 2025, Huda Beauty is launching its highly anticipated first-ever powder blush collection. According to Harper's Bazaar Arabia, the brand has unveiled three limited edition matte powder palettes called the Blush Filter palette, featuring Rose Berry, Toasty Peach, and Baby Pink. Each palette comes with ultra-pigmented matte blushes and a pearl blushlighter, plus a matching shade from Huda's iconic Liquid Blush Filter line. The launch also includes a new Diffusing Cheek Brush designed specifically for application. This marks a significant expansion for the beauty mogul, continuing her track record of innovative product launches that consistently sell out within hours.

In other recent news, Huda Beauty has been recognized as a top indie beauty brand for creator retention rate in 2025. According to Cosmetics Business, the brand was highlighted in an industry report showing that independent beauty players now hold 20.4 percent of the beauty market share, up from 19.1 percent earlier in the year. This recognition underscores how smaller independent businesses like Huda Beauty are thriving through sharper relationships and faster cultural moves.

However, the past few months haven't been without controversy. The August social media backlash over Huda Kattan's TikTok video about the Israel-Palestine conflict continues to have business implications. Sephora reportedly dropped Huda Beauty from its Fall Express campaign following the incident, according to multiple media outlets. Though Sephora stated in August that they were actively reviewing the matter internally, the removal from the campaign represents a tangible business consequence. Kattan responded at the time through Instagram, claiming the video was misinterpreted and reaffirming her stance against antisemitism while continuing to advocate for Palestinian causes.

On a more positive note, in July, Huda partnered with Palestinian singer Saint Levant on a limited edition Kalamantina Faux Filler Lip Oil, with proceeds supporting Palestinian organizations. This collaboration generated 210,000 dollars in emergency funds for Doctors Without Borders in Gaza, reflecting Huda's consistent approach of linking her brand to charitable causes.

This revelation, coming directly from Kattan herself, adds a new layer to the narrative of her growth and personal evolution.

However, not all recent attention has been positive. Earlier this month, AOL Entertainment highlighted controversy surrounding Huda Beauty after Huda made anti-Israel comments on her platforms, resulting in some backlash. This incident could have long-term relevance for her brand image and international partnerships, though as of this week, Huda appears to be focusing on moving forward with business innovation and audience engagement.

For those following business activities, Huda Kattan remains in the global spotlight as both an entrepreneurial icon and a social media powerhouse, always ready to speak authentically about both triumphs and setbacks.
