Spending five hours a day scrolling through your phone might sound excessive, but in Kuwait that’s the norm. 72 per cent of the population spends more than five hours a day scrolling through Instagram (here’s a survey that proves it).
From makeup artists and stylists to mommy bloggers, the nation’s growing number of influencers probably has something to do with it.
But recent years have seen a new breed of forward-thinking creatives come out of the woodworks, giving us a real look into what Kuwait has to offer. And there is no better way to get an insider-look than with a scroll through their feeds. These are the Kuwaiti creatives to follow.

Few Kuwaiti influencers have managed to stay on top of their game like Ascia. Having been around for almost 10 years, she’s the OG Kuwaiti influencer, and she’s showing no sign of slowing down.
