The 10 Best Huda Products of 2022

Huda Beauty #FauxFilter Luminous Matte Liquid Concealer

A luminous matte concealer may sound contradicting, but it’s the finish you never knew you needed — until now. Topping the charts as Kattan’s favorite complexion product from her line, the founder touts the formula as being the most blendable, buildable, and comfortable one she’s ever used. Any skin type can benefit from this concealer — it’s laced with vitamin E and sweet almond oil to keep the under eye area hydrated (perfect for dry-skinned folks), but boasts a 14-hour weartime that’ll withstand sweat and water (so won’t slip off throughout the day if you’re oily). It has a second skin-like finish, not to mention, as with all Huda Beauty complexion products, comes in an impressive shade range (there are 29 hues to choose from). 

When it comes to application, Kattan recommends working in layers.” I always try to use less concealer than I think I need, and always wait a few minutes for it to set before blending with a brush or damp sponge — this allows you to build up the coverage without it looking cakey or adding extra texture,” she explains.

Huda Beauty Giselle Classic False Lashes #1

I’d be remiss not to include the Samantha #7 false eyelashes, which was my first foray into the brand back in 2016. It’s a dramatic lash no doubt (with double-layered lashes of different lengths to show for it), but it’s among the brand’s most natural styles that flatters all eye shapes. I find myself reaching for this style no matter what look I’m going for — whether I’m trying to dress up my daytime eyes or I’m pairing it with a glamorous smokey eye and a smudged out lower lash line. Either way, my natural lashes never feel heavy when I wear them, and I always end up with a “your lashes but better” type of look.

Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Ultra-Comfort Transfer-Proof Lipstick

The only thing worse than a liquid lipstick that cracks throughout the day is one that forces you to go back and forth when applying. That’s why we’re major fans of this one-swipe wonder, which features a newly revamped formula that’s creamier, more comfortable, and more pigmented than its predecessor. You won’t have to worry about flaking, smudging, or transferring with this formula — just take your pick from a library of 16 shades, apply with one swipe, and you’re set. Dealing with extremely dry lips? Kattan recommends priming your lips with a scrub to get rid of flakes before applying a thin layer of the lipstick. Then, “wait 30 seconds for the color to set and intensify to a matte finish,” says Kattan.

Huda Beauty Loose Baking & Setting Powder

Is there anything this loose baking powder can’t do? Not only does the skin-hugging formula neutralize dark circles and brighten your highlight points, but it effectively blurs those teeny-tiny lines underneath the eyes and swiftly conceals enlarged pores. If you’re concerned with your makeup moving throughout the day, the finely-milled powder also sets your makeup into place for all-day wear. It comes in eight different shades that’ll suit all complexions, from fair to rich, and delivers a non-cakey finish so smooth you won’t miss the Instagram filters.

Huda Beauty Nude Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette

Neutral eyeshadow palette, but make it interesting. If you’re yawning at the mere idea of another neutral eyeshadow palette, hear us out. This one features nine toasty shades that are suited for neutral days and beyond — that’s all thanks to the mix of glistening shimmers, striking metallics, and ultra-blendable matte shades that work for any occasion. Beyond the finishes, the shade range is also impressive — the palette is brimming with warm browns, sexy coppers, and dusty mauves that complement every eye color.

Huda Beauty Quick ‘N Easy Precision Liquid Liner

Whether you’re following a #wingedeyeliner tutorial or you have your cat eye technique down pat, having an easy-to-use eyeliner in your arsenal is a must. Cue this precision liquid eyeliner, which is expertly-crafted with a 0.03mm fine brush tip that’s firm but flexible, giving you full control of your wings, geometric liner, and everything in between. It comes in two shades (black and brown), dries down to a matte finish, and disperses the ideal amount of product as you apply it (for less clean-up post-application, of course). 

As for the inspo behind the eyeliner? It came from Kattan’s need for a go-to option that wouldn’t budge. “When creating this product, I made sure the formula was waterproof, sweat-proof, smudge-proof, transfer-proof, and flake-proof,” she notes. Needless to say, if you need your makeup to last, this is the liner to sport. Here’s how she recommends nailing your wing: “Instead of starting your wing from the edge of your waterline, my secret for the perfect wing is to go just above the edge of the waterline to create a slightly lifted effect. I also like to create the shape of each wing before I finish drawing along my lash line — this ensures both wings are symmetrical.”

Huda Beauty Lip Contour 2.0 Automatic Matte Lip Pencil

This lip pencil is versatility in its purest form — not only does it extend the wear of whatever you put on top, but because of its opacity and velvet matte finish, it looks good on its own too. It lasts up to nine hours (and will even stay put if you’ll be eating or drinking), and contains a soybean and licorice complex that keeps your lips nourished and comfortable from workday to Happy Hour. Another thing that adds to its cool-factor: it has a sharpener on one end, making it the perfect one-and-done product to throw in your travel makeup bag.

Huda Beauty GloWish MultiDew Vegan Skin Tint

When the worlds of makeup and skincare intertwine, remarkable things happen — as is the case with this multi-purpose skin tint, which will do more than just even out your skin tone. Its formula is meant to brighten up a dull complexion and keep skin hydrated, all without feeling heavy or appearing caked up on the skin. The star-studded list of ingredients is enough to make you want to nixx your pre-makeup skincare routine (aside from SPF, of course), as it includes squalane to hydrate, red bell pepper extract to protect against blue light damage, and Damascus rose oil to calm irritation. Beyond this, the formula dries down to a dewy (read: not sticky) finish for instantly radiant skin. TL;DR:  If the day calls for a light veil of coverage, this formula will become a staple.

Huda Beauty Legit Lashes Double-Ended Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara

Sparse, straight lashes? Don’t know her. This do-it-all fiber mascara doesn’t leave any lashes behind as it instantly grabs onto each hair for maximum volume and length. On one end you’ll find a cone-shaped brush meant for pumping up the volume (we’re also major fans of the tip of this brush, which makes it easy to get to those often tough-to-reach spots like the inner corners and lower lashes). On the other end is a curved brush that’s dedicated to curling and lengthening. Use each side on its own or combine the two — either way, you’ll be left with a more wide-eyed look.
