To help ring in the New Year, Huda recently put together a YouTube video of her ‘Holy Grail’ productsΒ for the past year, explaining: βSo much has gone down these last 12 months that I really wanted to do a video of my life-changing products for 2016.
βThere have been some products that Iβve found, and some Iβve used before, that have been absolute ‘Holy Grails’ to my beauty routine. I can not live without them. If I donβt have them I freak out. I literally cannot go on without these products!β

Here, we take a look at her top 17 product picks and why she loves them:
- Anastasia Beverly Hills MoonChild Glow Kit
- Morphe Brushes 35OS Orange Shimmer Palette β “What I love about this is the pigmentation is amazing.”
- You get that perfect brow application every time.”
- Ouai Wave Spray
- Cinema Secrets Ultra Translucent Setting Powder β “This is really great as it mattifies your skin so well without being too cakey. So great at smoothing and making your skin look really beautiful.”
- Huda Beauty Lip Contour Set
- Makeup Forever Lipsticks β “I love the shape of the lipstick. Itβs pointed at the top – it gives a really precise, beautiful application. And the colours are incredible!”
- Zoeva Rose Gold Brushes
- Benefit KaBrow βΒ “Shade number four and shade number three are my absolute go-tos. Iβm so obsessed with them. I use the KaBrow every single day. What I love about them versus other pomades is that itβs just so good at applying product on without being too waxy, without moving too much βΒ it literally applies product on so well.
- Caudalie Divine Oil
- Victoria Beckham for EstΓ©e Lauder BronzerΒ β “This is my go-to bronzer. I have two – one at home and one in the office. The colour is perfection. Itβs not over-powering. It doesnβt apply in a way that you look muddy or dirty. Itβs got that brown with that hint of a bronze undertone to it. I think this is the most beautiful colour to bring harmony into the face.”
- James Read Overnight Tan
- Huda Beauty Rose Gold Palette β “I use this on a daily basis. When we were creating it I tried to include all of the essential colours, so I donβt really need any other palettes. This is literally like me pouring myself into a palette.”
- My Burrberry Black
- Byredo La Tulipe Body Lotion β “The fragrance is intense and stunning and beautiful. It has a floral essence and it has a softness to it – which is what makes it so special, because floral can sometimes be too floral. It feels so rich on your skin.”
- Alterna Bamboo Kendi Oil
- Tarte Rainforest of the Sea FoundationΒ β “One of my favourite foundations of the year is Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Foundation. This has marine and algae extracts, which doesnβt sound exciting, but it does make your skin look beautiful. It is hydrating and has that light watery essence to it. It makes your skin look like skin.”
- Kat Von D Ink Liner
