YouTube Star Ruba Zai Guest Judges Teen Vogue’s Beauty Awards
Ruba Zai may be based in the Netherlands, but her makeup and hijab tutorials inspire YouTube viewers worldwide. She’s posted about everything from her trademark winged liner to her tweezer-free brow tutorial, but her love of super soft makeup always reigns supreme. But, the 22-year-old doesn’t only stand out on YouTube. Her Instagram @hijabhills boasts 855,000 followers — not to mention, shots of travel, style, and, of course, beauty.
Ruba exemplifies a Teen Vogue Beauty Game Changer in every sense (and on every channel), but the award-winner has a few picks of her own. Click ahead to see the 10 products Ruba nominated for this year's Awards, and stay tuned for more.
