Make-up powerhouse Huda Kattan criticizes beauty industry's sexism

Huda Kattan, the founder of cosmetics brand Huda Beauty, is being celebrated for the 10th anniversary of her brand. She has taken over a building in Paris and decorated it in pink. Adoring fans scream and chant her name as she arrives, and some even cry when she hugs them. However, despite her success, Kattan criticizes the beauty industry and social media for objectifying women and perpetuating unrealistic standards. She also speaks about the lack of inclusivity in the beauty industry and the slow progress in offering products for diverse skin tones. Kattan's success is largely due to her presence on social media, where she shares makeup tutorials and reviews. However, she is now cynical about social media and its negative impact on women's self-esteem. Kattan acknowledges that she is part of the problem but also a victim of it. She wants social media to be a more vulnerable and honest space. While she has been outspoken about political issues in the Middle East, she faces criticism and fears discussing her Muslim faith due to potential backlash. Despite her achievements, Kattan hopes to inspire women of color and make them feel represented.
