10 Hijabi Beauty Influencers You Should Already Be Following
When modesty meets make-up on the ‘gram…
Over the last few years, modest fashion has quickly become one of the fastest growing sectors in the industry with an estimated net worth of over 240 billion dollars.
In 2017, Halima Aden became the world’s first-ever hijabi-wearing model to sign a deal with a major agency, paving the way for British-Somali newcomer Ikram Abdi Mohammed to recently land a contract with Premier Models. Away from the catwalk, hijabi beauty is a booming movement that has connected a diverse audience of both Muslim and non-Muslim followers who have a passion for cosmetics and make-up.
Popular hijabi influencers including Basma K, Dina Torkio and Habiba Da Sliva have racked up an impressive combined following of close to 3 million thanks to their immaculate make-up posts and beautifully curated Instagram feeds.
From make-up and skincare tutorials, to product reviews and hauls, hijabi beauty influencers are breaking down negative stereotypes often associated with Islamic dress codes through their creative content that inspires change and empowers all women to embrace who they are, unapologetically.
Here’s who to follow on the gram, now.
