In celebration of Muslim Women's Day, we've rounded up some of our fave Muslim beauty bloggers and MUAs. P.S.: There are just SO many talented Muslim beauty gals, much more than we can fit on this list!
These Muslim beauty sensations are helping to break down stereotypes and redefine the faces of beauty. Although we're super happy that the beauty world has been taking small steps to better inclusion, there's still much more to be done—we love that these lovely ladies are diversifying the beauty landscape (although it is not and should never have been their responsibility).

This beauty blogger and Youtuber was named an ambassador for CoverGirl's So Lashy! BlastPro Mascara campaign and became the first woman to appear wearing a hijab in one of their campaigns. Nura Afia told Refinery29, "I hope [this campaign] will show Muslim women that brands care about us as consumers and we're important, especially hijabis.
