These are my favourite makeup items from incredible brands founded and owned/co-owned by Black Women. They are fantastic products that EVERYONE can use!
Nothing comes close to this base when you need your makeup to stay put in hot weather or sweaty conditions!
Yummy Skin Water Powder Serum - Danessa Myricks
This is a fantastic base for makeup or you can use it on its own. I wear shade 10. I tried 9.5 and 9 and they both run too warm for me.
Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder - Danessa Myricks
I use Chai Latte as a flush of colour or when I want to blend my concealer and blush. Its great on its own or when combined with other products!
Yummy Skin Matte Color Danessa Myricks
Eadem lip serums are unbeatable. I love the Bissap Glaze for a hint of colour. Also use the Burnt Malai from time to time. Cannot wait to try the new ones!
EADEM Le Chouchou Peptide Lip Balm
Topicals slick salve is top tier! I like the original flavour especially when my lips need a hint of hydration. I have the tinted version but I prefer the clear.
TOPICALS Slick Salve Lip Balm
I know Ami Cole is closing but this brand will always be that girl! Love the Foundation Stick in Shade 130
Ami Cole - Blurring Foundation Stick
I'll miss Ami Cole so much. The concealer is one of the best in the market. I was scraping the barrel once I was done. Rich 1
Ami Colé- Skin-Enhancing Concealer
Cannot go wrong with a bit of Fenty Hot Choclit! From my favourite billionaire!
Fenty Beauty - Gloss Bomb Lip Gloss
Coal Blooded when I want a deep dark lip liner
Pencil Lip Liner - Fenty Beauty
Brown'd Out when I want a warmer rich brown lip liner
Trace'd Out Longwear Waterproof Pencil Lip Liner - Fenty Beauty by Rihanna | Sephora
I love the WYN Beauty skintint. It's one of my faves for every day use. Really hope this brand doesn't get discontinued!
Hydrating Skin Enhancing Tint SPF 30 - WYN BEAUTY
This is a top tier eye shadow palette.
Mented - Every Night Eyeshadow Palette
Skincare & Fragrance
A repeat buy for me. I use this at night. You'll see progress with repeated use
Milk Marvel Dark Spot Serum - EADEM
A fantastic cleansing balm. Perfect for travel
Cleansing Balm - EADEM
These eye masks are great and what I love most about them is they do not slide down my face!
Faded Eye Masks - Topicals
This is such a smart and innovative product. Easy to use, helps with targeted areas of discolouration. Highly recommend.
Faded Brightening & Cleansing Body Bar - Topicals
I've a spot of eczema on my legs and this helps so much with that!
Like Butter Moisturizer - Eczema-Prone Skin - Topicals
Lovely scents. Bought this as a gift for a friend then bought myself one!
Discovery Set - BROWN GIRL Jane
Stunning scent! Also love the shower gel
Body Gloss Oil with Squalane - OUI the People
Hair
These are so good you need to lock them in a safe. Beyone's magic hair drops are beyond. Finished one bottle already, cannot wait to get the next
CÉCRED - Hair & Edge Drops -
I have thin 4c hair and this is a great product to use when my strands need some TLC.
CÉCRED - Reconstructing Treatment Mask
Really fab deep conditioner. I love that it's not overly scented. A little goes a long way and its great for my thin 4C hair
CÉCRED - Moisturizing Deep Conditioner
Love this hair oil and the bottle is so cute. It's a nice to have for me, not a must have. If you are on a budget, focus on the other CECRED items I've posted
Nourishing Hair Oil - CÉCRED
A really fantastic shampoo that does what it says on the tin. Very hydrating.
Hydrating Shampoo - CÉCRED
By far my FAVE clarifying shampoo of all time. Hands down.
Cleansing Shampoo - PATTERN
The main reason I like this is because it has the mini cleansing shampoo which makes it great for travel. Also an affordable price point if you want a full easy routine for type 4 hair and you are on the go
Texture Travel Kit - PATTERN
This is my ride or die deep conditioner. I wont be without it. It is a great option for all hair but especially thin 4C hair. Not overly scented. Just a perfect product. Its the only product I use from this brand, for good reason.
Plumping Deep Conditioner - Melanin Haircare
A very decent deep conditioner that I always have in rotation. It is heavier than the others mentioned so worth noting this. Smells great too!
Blue Tansy Reparative Mask - Adwoa beauty
Scent is delightful. I'd use this on my braids (strands not scalp). Also use it on my hair as well. It's fab for a post gym workout.
Blue Tansy Treatment Serum - adwoa beauty
A nifty product for taming my edges. Also great for travel.
