3. User Conduct

To maintain a positive, inclusive community—consistent with Huda’s vision of beauty for all—you agree to the following:

  • User-Generated Content: If you share reviews, photos, or videos (e.g., makeup looks using our products), you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute such content in connection with our business (with attribution where reasonable). You warrant that this content does not violate privacy, intellectual property, or hygiene laws (e.g., sharing photos of opened/used products in a way that risks contamination).

Color variations may occur due to screen settings; ingredient lists are updated periodically and should be reviewed before purchase (especially for allergy concerns).
