In honor of Black History Month, we celebrate and acknowledge the contributions Black people have made and are still making in American society and the world in general.
In a world where Black people are still fighting for inclusion—especially in the beauty industry—some black creators across the globe are doing their part to make sure that Black people are represented. We are shining some light on the black beauty creators who use their skills and platforms to shape the world we live in today.
When we talk about black beauty influencers, we’re not just referring to women. Gender-nonconforming people and men make a big difference in the beauty community and should be recognized.
These are some of the talented, creative Black makeup artists and creators we’ve worked with; they deserve recognition not just because they’re Black but because they’re incredible at giving us looks to die for and challenging beauty standards.
