Huda Kattan Reacquires Full Ownership of Huda Beauty
Jun 03, 2025
Huda Kattan, founder and co-CEO of Huda Beauty, has announced the reacquisition of full ownership of her cosmetics brand by buying back the minority stake held by TSG Consumer Partners since 2017. The move ends an eight-year partnership with the private equity firm, restoring Huda Beauty to complete founder ownership.
Founded in 2013 in Dubai, Huda Beauty rose to fame with its bestselling false eyelashes and has since evolved into a global beauty powerhouse. The company is now solely led by Kattan, with her husband, Christopher Goncalo, serving as Co-CEO and her sister, Alya Kattan, heading social strategy.
Earlier this year, the brand sold its fragrance line, KAYALI, to co-founder Mona Kattan and private equity firm General Atlantic, facilitating the buyback of TSG's stake.

Monochrome Monday: Cocoa Cupcake
Cocoa Cupcake is a shade of grounded elegance- familiar, comforting, and full of depth. Jul 28, 2025 Brown possesses a multifaceted character, sometimes rustic and earthy, other times dark and brooding. Yet, Cocoa Cupcake is in a league of its own. Its richness outshines standard chocolate, its depth eclipses simple wood. This is the hue of quiet luxury and subtle revelations. Off-Shoulder Hand-Pleated Chiffon Gown | Marmar Halim Sculpted yet weightless, this hand-pleated chiffon gown swathes the body in rich folds of cocoa chiffon. With its off-shoulder neckline and corseted structure, it brings couture-level drama to brown-tinted elegance. Sequin Strapless Dress | Dima Ayad Fully sequined in bronze with a fiery red hem, this strapless column dress is bold, polished, and made for golden hour glamour. Franca Sparkle 105 in Brown | Andrea Wazen A classic silhouette with a crystal twist—this satin heel pairs a pointed toe with sparkle-strewn tulle for polished drama. Carmen Co-ord | House of THL This mocha-toned set pairs a sleeveless trench-style tunic with flowy wide-leg trousers. Sophisticated enough for city strolls, relaxed enough for summer getaways. Amber 23 | Kayali This scent wraps black cherry, honey, and tobacco leaf in soft rose and deep amber. It's the kind of fragrance that lingers long after you've left the room. Merzouga Top | Hanan Sharifa With its mesh and flowing scarf sleeve, this asymmetrical top was made for sun-drenched days and cool desert nights. Ayla Satin Knot Top | Abadia Brown hue and sculptural side knot, this satin top adds easy sophistication to any outfit—effortless, but never plain. Dome Clutch | Okhtein A refined take on a signature style, the Dome Clutch brings a sculptural edge to nighttime dressing—sleek, distinctive, and made to stand out. Takion T1 | Gentle Monster These tortoise-toned frames bring a quiet edge to any look. Round, compact, and easy to style.

Monochrome Monday: The Hint of Mint Edition
Fresh yet grounded, delicate but assured. Mint captures that quiet elegance found somewhere between nostalgia and refinement. Jun 09, 2025 Mint is having a quiet moment. We're giving it the volume it deserves. It's a shade that holds its own without needing to shout. Soft, fresh, and easy to wear. There's a calm to it, a softness that lingers, like peppermint on the tongue or jade in sunlight. Mint signals restraint. It's cool without coldness. There's something considered in choosing it, like reaching for mint-choc-chip as the first scoop of summer. She's serene. She's pared back. She lands her presence without pushing. This Monochrome Monday, we're wearing Hint of Mint. Huda Beauty | Mint Eyeshadow Pallet This pocket-sized palette delivers nine icy-smooth shades in both shimmer and matte. From pistachio to seafoam, it's your shortcut to cool-toned drama and summer sweetness. Lafshar | Mint Alphabet Keychain Small enough to flirt from the clasp of your handbag, Lafshar's mint acrylic charms turn initials into statement pieces. Personal but playful - a candy-coloured wink for minimalists with a secret sweet tooth. Rami Kadi | Mint Green Couture Gown Rami Kadi's couture masterpiece floats in liquid mint, with cosmic sparkles and architectural folds that move like stardust. Wear if you dare to be the event. Amina K | Juicy Wrap Skirt Lemonade stand meets slow fashion. With its asymmetrical lines and tie waist, it's your new go-to for beach club brunches or rooftop dancing. Wadha | Draped Back Cape Gown in Silk Organza Qatari label Wadha spins silk organza into a mint-swirled dream, dusted in sequins like something found at the bottom of a vintage trunk - delicate, well-loved, and quietly luminous.
