A few years ago, representations of visibly Muslim women in the fashion and beauty worlds were far and few. Today, however, with the versatility and reach that platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and SnapChat provide, finding a diversity of online bloggers and influencers has never been easier. With women from the region seeking out more relevant choices on how to represent their true selves, more and more hijabi style icons have taken note and are now leading the way. Here are five modest beauty bloggers who have continued to grow their influence in 2018 and who you should definitely be following today:
