4 WoC beauty bloggers you need to follow
Huda Kattan
We could call her the Kim Kardashian of the East, but Huda Kattan is so much more. The Dubai-based beauty guru and entrepreneur has a passion for contouring and has come up with a diverse range of products to help you do it. Her makeup line Huda Beauty is one of the best-selling brands in the world right now. She also recently released The Overachiever , which comes in 20 shades.

Beauty on the Fly
Huda's unique selling point as an Instagram beauty icon are her super attainable tutorials. The self-made makeup guru recently did a complete beauty tutorial on a flight because that's just how she rolls.

The New Contour Icon?
Raschelle's contour rituals might be just the inspiration you need to really put your palette to work. Her full face and fast, glam makeup taught us a thing or two about contouring and highlighting. She recently uploaded a post-makeup skin care ritual that may come in handy if your skin is stressed out.

Farah Dhukai
The Canadian beauty guru is all we want our Insta beauty icons to be. Farah Dhukai mainly gained popularity with her DIY hair and makeup treatments, which are super easy on the wallet. She has relentlessly called out trolls and spoken out against double standards in beauty. She recently posted before and after pictures side by side to respond to bullying and got real about her roots.
