Exposed Trends for Black Beauty: Video Series

Makeup for Brown Skin, Women of Color (W.O.C.)

As women of color, sometimes we think we cannot wear a certain makeup look because of our skin color. Or we cannot rock a trend like others of fair-et skin tone. Well I want to tell you that this is just NOT TRUE!

Because of this, I decided to create a series showing black women the most common trends or looks that we think we cannot pull off and giving tips and tricks on how to make it work for you.

The name of the series Exposed Trends for Black Beauty.

Episode 1: Nude Eyeliner
This was requested from a fellow youtubber, Miss A. Marie and it is a great summer trend to kick off this series.
If you have any requests, feel free to leave a comment down below or on the video.
