Lipstick has always done more than complete a beauty look. A single swipe can become a signature, defining an era just as much as a hairstyle or a wardrobe ever could. And when it comes to Arab pop culture, few beauty statements have proven as enduring as the iconic lip looks of Arab divas from the 1990s and early 2000s. From Sherihan’s unmistakable crimson pout to Nicole Saba’s frosted lips, these beauty moments continue to inspire makeup artists, mood boards, and TikTok recreations decades later.
Fittingly, today also happens to be National Lipstick Day, a celebration officially established by beauty entrepreneur Huda Kattan in 2016 after she secured recognition for the holiday, cementing July 29 as an annual tribute to one of makeup’s most transformative products.
In honor of National Lipstick Day, we’re looking back at the Arab divas whose unforgettable lip colors helped define a generation of beauty, proving that while formulas may change, an iconic lipstick moment never really goes out of style.
