if you want a flawless base, this is it. It’s super full coverage and really covers everything dark spots, marks, all of it. Even with how pigmented it is, it doesn’t feel heavy on the skin or look mask-like. It gives that smooth, airbrushed finish a...

Juvia’s Place I Am Magic Concealer ,the pigment in this is no joke! 🏆 A little goes such a long way. I love that it’s super creamy but still dries down matte, so it actually stays put. And the shade range? Amazing !!They really got the undertones ri...

Juvia’s Place I Am Magic Setting Powder in Kalahari is honestly one of my favourite setting powders. The shade is perfect for deep skin  and  it doesn’t leave that ashy or chalky look that some powders do. It sets my makeup and keeps it in place. I also love that  It just blurs everything together and makes my foundation look smoother.

I had to put this on the list because Fenty is a total staple for Black girls. Rihanna changed the game for us. I switch between 400 and 420 depending on the season, and it’s one of the only brands that actually gets our undertones right without maki...

Fenty did it again! The Gloss Bomb is so nice. Fu$$y, which is like the prettiest dusty pink. These aren't sticky, they smell like peaches, and they make your lips look so expensive and feel nice.

Fenty did it again! So beauty. Hot Chocolit is that rich, shimmering cocoa that looks like it was custom made for our skin. I love that it's not sticky and it smells nice and doesn't dry out my lips. Must have .

Fenty really did it again with this one. The shade Mocha Mami is a total game-changer. I love the rich, deep brown with red-gold undertones that actually brings life back to my face after foundation. I love that Rihanna actually spent over two years...

If there's is one thing I refuse to skin in my makeup routine ,it's blush. There is just something about the flush. That makes look so healthy and alive. But as a 400/420, finding a brand that actually nails the pigment is a struggle. with Juvia’s Pl...

If you’re a blush girly like me, this is a must-have. Lolly Poppy is the absolute exception to the rule that corals don't work on deep skin! ​What I love most is the 'Suede' texture. It’s a powder, but it feels so silky,almost like a cream with pure,...
