It’s not a secret that the beauty industry has a diversity issue. In both the US and the UK beauty shelves are stocked to the masses with white-owned brands, catering to white skin tones and white hair textures.
When you think of mass market black-owned beauty brands: Fenty Beauty and Pat McGrath Labs steal the show, but how many non-celebrity/world-renowned makeup artist black beauty brands really get their time in the spotlight? Now is the time for retailers and publishers to pull up and give the floor to some of the brilliant black-owned beauty brands out there. Because there are so many amazing brands that just aren’t given the space to shine.
