Beauty is deeply personal. Why? Because every aspect of what we consider 'beauty' is a personal choice, allowing us to express ourselves through each decision. Think of various makeup products as tools for self-expression—whether it's a bold eye look, a subtle dewy glow, highlighting cheekbones, contouring the nose, or choosing lashes or not. Each choice mirrors a part of our personality, communicated non-verbally, shaped by our unique sociocultural contexts.
This personalization is why the beauty industry remains one of the largest globally—a fact easily observed by a visit to Sephora UAE. Recently, a significant moment on social media involved two beauty icons, Huda Kattan and Katrina Kaif, coming together for an inspiring interaction. Their conversation quickly turned into a celebration of their shared passion for empowering women through beauty. As they exchanged beauty secrets and reflected on their journeys, it became evident that their partnership was built on mutual respect, admiration, and a shared understanding of what it means to be a woman in business.
In an interview with Khaleej Times, Katrina and Huda discussed the foundations of their partnership, the qualities that inspired them to collaborate, and shared memorable moments from their joint shoot. Edited excerpts from the interview with Katrina Kaif reveal her admiration for Huda’s journey and vision, and how their collaboration felt organic due to their shared beliefs in individuality and inclusivity. Huda, in her interview, expressed her admiration for Katrina’s assertiveness and strength, highlighting the common synergies between Huda Beauty and Kay Beauty, despite their differences.
Both women emphasized the importance of inclusivity in their brands, and their collaboration is seen as a powerful statement of breaking down beauty barriers. Their advice to female entrepreneurs is to trust themselves and take risks, as their journey with Katrina has shown that self-trust is crucial for achieving dreams.
