You might know Nyma Tang from her Fenty Beauty campaigns but you’ll learn she’s much more than just a pretty face. The burn survivor became popular for the way she transformed her scars with makeup but she’s so much more than that. Or take a look at Shalom Blac’s feed to see what real confidence is.
And this creates real change in the industry. We love it when she calls out brands for their lack of shade representation, saying exactly what we were thinking. Take Jackie Aina‘s no-BS approach to makeup. These Black beauty influencers are a good start if you’re a fan of colorful makeup, killer wigs and clutch skincare tips. You can’t elevate the voices of Black people if you’re not following any. Just like it’s important to share Black-owned organizations for donation and Black-owned businesses to support during the Black Lives Matter protests (and always!), it’s also important to look at the diversity of your own social media feed.
