This is exactly what we needed to ease into the working week.

In the online beauty world, the ‘boyfriend does my makeup’ video is a timeworn formula.

You know how it goes. The poor guy has no idea what he’s doing, uses a foundation brush for eye shadow, and ends up shattering an expensive bronzer.

In short, chaos reigns, and how entertaining the resulting video is depends entirely on the charisma of the people in it.

With that in mind, we’re delighted to see beauty entrepreneur Huda Kattan giving the form a bit of an update.

Instead of her husband, Kattan enlisted her dad to do her makeup on camera. We’ll let you take a look:

Well, we’re not sure if Dr Ibrahim Yahya Kattan is about to start pulling in the big dirhams as a freelance MUA any time soon, but it’s one of the cutest makeup videos we can remember seeing.

“You tried your best, that’s what matters,” as his daughter says in the clip.

Kattan has only posted a short teaser video, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled for the full version. In the mean time, you can follow her dad’s Instagram @drdaddycool.

In other Huda Beauty news, the brand just celebrated its five-year anniversary.

“We started as a lash brand & had no idea that we would one day have our own foundation, highlighters, lipsticks and some of the worlds most coveted eyeshadow palettes,” Kattan wrote on Instagram. “We did all this with your help my loves! You all encourage us so much and your love & support keeps us going!”

While they don’t discount, the brand have put together some specially priced packages to celebrate. Happy shopping, friends.
