Huda has three siblings. Two sisters named Mona and Alya, and one brother named Khalid.
Vogue reported that she was once called 'Heidi' as a nickname.
"I wanted to go by Huda, but people thought it was so weird. But when we moved to Massachusetts, people were like, 'That's such a cool name! They would even tell me, 'You're from Iraq; wow, that's so cool!'" she revealed in a 2015 interview with Vogue Arabia's Caterina Minthe.

Controversies
Though Huda may seem to have a perfect life with her business, career, and family; she was still faced with terrible controversies from the past.
In 2018, Huda Beauty faced backlash after another influencer Em Ford or known with her @mypaleskinblog on Instagram criticized her for using her picture as a sample of breakout acne with a caption saying, "The only thing worse than a breakout is the little scars they leave behind."
It was later on, posted by Ford, by saying, "Dear @HudaBeauty, I wanted to say thank you for using my #skinpositivity images to tell the world that my face full of scars is worse than active breakouts. And for reinforcing that narrative that anything less than 'flawless' is something we should feel ashamed of, or want to fix and 'get rid of.'"
Huda Kattan vs. Jeffree Star
After two years from this controversy, Huda was faced with another controversy against a fellow influencer, Jeffree Star.
On Feb., Huda released its Pastel Palette collection. Interestingly, it had its keen similarities with Star's make-up line called ColourPop's, accusing Huda of somehow copying the design.
At that time, it was the eyes and ears of all beauty experts. Thankfully, it is over now.
