It’s time to celebrate Black History Month — which, dear family, for us is 365 days a year. Here are a few great beauty ideas for your 2022 exploration.
And since I never miss an opportunity to share new beauty mavericks here are a few African American-owned beauty brands that you should know.

Ms. Karen Stallings founded Colour U Cosmetics to make her day-to-night makeup transition seamless. Her passion is to create the type of makeup that’s perfect for a modern woman who is bold, and yet sophisticated.

Danika Berry of Glam Body
Danika Berry knows a thing or two about skin and to that end she founded Glam Body in 2017, after learning about coffee’s ability to clear acne, smooth skin, eliminate blackheads, cure hyperpigmentation, treat cellulite, and soothe eczema. She’s a skin diva.
Merced S. Boyce of BLAC Minerals
Merced S. Boyce, founder of BLAC minerals, took her longing for inclusive, toxic-free makeup products to the ultimate, where she turned a “wish” into a reality. Her mission, then and now, is to create a myriad of shade choices for folks that need those options.

Adiya Dixon Wiggins of Yubi

Michael James watched African and African-American men lose hope in the grooming department, searching for products to help fight their dry scalps, unsightly razor bumps, and other challenges. Inspired by the legacy of his grandfather –– the original Frederick Benjamin –– Michael developed a regimen of products to help every man sculpt his best self, no matter his style. https://iamglambody.com/
