We're on-location interviewing Huda Kattan! It’s been 10 years since Huda launched her eponymous makeup line, and to celebrate, we interviewed the makeup mogul in person at Huda High in Hollywood. She chatted with us about growing up as a woman of color in the south, what being an influencer was like before influencers were a thing, the product she had to kill before it was ever seen by the public, finding validation for yourself versus spectators, and even teases a few new launches coming from the brand in the next year.
