Noha Nabil: From TV Star to Middle East Beauty Icon

Starting from television presenter, her journey speaks of permutations with never-ending sequences of achievements in different fields, all uniquely flamboyant. With an authentic personality and passion for beauty, Noha has gone on to build an empire, teaming up with the crème de la crème of brands and inspiring millions to rejoice in their own unique beauty. So here is her story, proof that dedication, passion, and staying true to oneself can inspire the world.

Noha Nabil was born in Kuwait and is also based currently in Dubai. She is one of the most acknowledged social media influencers in the Middle East. Starting her journey on TV when she was still a kid as a poet and presenter, Nabil could win over all hearts by her self-confidence and charm. By the time she turned nine years old, she had already garnered herself some name and fame. Nonetheless, years would later pass when this social media stardom would rain its fruitful showers of attention and fame upon her.

In 2016, she was featured as one of the “Most Influential Arab Figures,” and by 2017, Forbes ranked her 5th among “The Top 10 Most Influential Arab Women in Social Media.” As such, Noha’s influence kept getting bigger and better, going on to break even more boundaries as she went ahead to be titled as “The Most Influential Figure in the Arab World” and “The Biggest Influencer in the Arabic Middle East” by Vogue Business in 2020. Noha also continued achieving through her collaborations with well-established luxury brands like Givenchy, Versace, Swarovski, and Messika Jewelry.

Although Noha Nabil did take a brief detour into obscurity during her twenties, with her family keeping her busy, her interest in beauty and self-expression never dwindled. So it was only that Noha, now a mother, took to social media to express this newfound enthusiasm for makeup. Not having had any professional training, Noha taught herself beauty techniques on YouTube tutorials. This hobby blossomed into a full-time career as she shared tips on beauty, lifestyle advice, and personal stories with an ever-growing audience. Authenticity and relatability have been her winning keys. Unlike many of those influencers who work mainly based on glamour, Noha shares a raw and real side of herself to the fans. She’s often telling Arab women to be themselves, through makeup that defines who she is.

Noha is very far removed from all those makeup tutorials alone. She has become a symbol of empowerment of women across the Middle East. She has proven how you can actually pursue passion while still balancing family life. She keeps telling people on her network to pursue their dreams and not care how society feels about them; she encourages them to let it all out and be whomever they want to be. At the same time, her journey showcases freedom for self-expression creatively as well as passionately while holding on to the values that matter most. Her newfound stardom also emphasizes the need for self-made success. Noha built her career from scratch, using the strength of social media to make a name that speaks to millions of women. She is a perfect example to prove that in today’s digital age, talent, truthfulness, and dedication allow anyone who possesses these qualities to leave their print.

Noha Nabil is indeed one of the world’s most celebrated luxury beauty artists, recognized by many of the world’s top luxury brands. Fendi, Armani, and Bourjois are some of the global names she’s partnered with, demonstrating her ability to blend together traditional Arab beauty with modern-day fashion trends. It’s a reflection not only of her becoming a beauty mogul but also of elevating Arab beauty and fashion on the international stage.

Since becoming a successful influencer and entrepreneur, Noha continues to redefine the beauty standards of the region, being an influencer for inclusivity and diversity within an industry that has often been criticized and even narrowed. “It’s time for change,” it seems: what might once have seemed traditional is now evolving with social media influencers like Noha at its forefront.
