90's Nostalgia Commemorative Issue April 2017 | Page 44

MADEXXXX MADELIFE nice setting powders that come in three different shades, one being for darker skin tones and it doesn't have that white flash back. Her lock it foundation also has 31 shades to choose from if you like a full coverage foundation. ESTÉE LAUDER Their double wear foundation is one of my absolute favorite medium-full coverage foundations. It stays on all day, has the best wear, no matter what you're doing! They have 36 different shades for everyone. Their concealers also come in 10 different shades and are long wearing. ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS ABH stick foundation has a natural matte finish and she did extend the darker tones in her brand with now 29 shades. I personally haven't tried these yet but have heard good things about them. Also when it comes to contouring everyone thinks of ABH and she does have a contour/ highlight kit for medium and deep skin tones. The formula is nice, creamy and gets the job done. MAKE UP FOREVER Make Up Forever has 40 shades of foundation in their Makeup Forever HD foundation. This has a natural looking finish and medium-full coverage. This is my absolute favorite foundation of all, because it does make you look super HD and flawless. POC can definitely find a shade in this line. I like that they offer warm, neutral and cool tones too. All their makeup pretty much works on POC from their lipsticks to their shadows & primers. MENTED Mented cosmetics is a new brand launched by two women of color. They launched lipsticks, specifically neutrals so POC can find their perfect nude. Each lipstick is meant to fit a different personality depending on the mood you're in, which is such a cute idea. IMAN IMAN was created by supermodel Iman for women of color. She has a variety of options from foundations, blushes, lipsticks, glasses and powders for POC.
