Ethnic Beauty All Access: Top makeup tips & techniques
My ethnic beauty story . . . As a teenager I remember hunting for the perfect shade of lipstick to match my caramel skin tone, and the only one I managed to fall in love with came from the neighborhood Dollar Store, and unfortunately it stained my lips. But hey, a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do, right?
There were only a couple of cosmetics lines around at the time and most of the foundation colors they offered were either too dark or too red for my complexion, but I wore it anyway because I didn’t know anything else. It didn’t matter that my foundation didn’t blend perfectly with my neck; I was wearing makeup and I knew I looked GOOD!
Fast forward 20 years later and fortunately the standard of beauty has changed. The facial features owned by our Caucasian counterparts are now considered more generic-looking because they lack the sensual and exotic elements that have long embraced our ethnic beauty. Now the world is paying attention, and every woman wants what we have: full lips, golden skin tone, and ageless skin.
I’ve been a freelance makeup artist for the past 8 years and I thoroughly enjoy helping my fellow ethnic beauty women find foundation shades, eyeshadows, blush, and lip colors to suit their skin tones. The one thing that makes me happy is seeing how the world has embraced our unique features, and different cosmetic lines are opening up to serve us.
I want this site to be the main voice in helping you find what you need, whether you’re Black, Hispanic, Indian, or of Asian descent. Here you will find:
As an ethnic woman I know firsthand what it means to want to try new products, but have no idea where to go, what to do, and simply how to find reputable products. I want this to be the place where we can pitch ideas to each other and offer our own tips and tricks about how we best enhance our look. What works for one woman may not work for the other, so it's ok to try different various tips until you discover what you like.
In building and working on this site, I will say the most challenging part is finding other ethnic cosmetics and beauty lines to inform you about. A lot of the brands are fairly new but I do want this site to serve as a platform in helping them establish a voice in the ethnic cosmetics market. If you want to share ideas or speak up on the behalf of a line whose products you enjoy, submit your feedback to one of the links housed in the Beauty Articles section, and I’ll build a page just for you!
One more thing . . . while you’re here, don’t forget to subscribe to my mini-blog, which is an RSS Feed that keeps you in the loop about new articles and information posted to Ethnic Beauty Central. The advantage is that you don’t have to search around for new articles because they’ll be delivered to you! The Site Map is also an easy-to-use tool because it lists every page on this site by category, which is easier because you find out sooner rather than later if you’ve covered everything that’s of interest to you.
I think that covers it for now . . . I hope you enjoy!
