    To be honest why do we beg and ask them to include us when we can create our own. This is where the problem is, they r not the problem, we are the problem. Stop looking up to ppl who don't look like us to include you, build ur own brand so the money stays in the community. All they will do is create the line just to collect the money. It doesnt mean now they care, they jus see our desperation for their acceptance

      @almondjoy4737 Před 4 lety +163

      I agree. Black people are too reliant on the whites or others to help or include us. Blacks need to wake up and start investing into black communities. The black men are neglecting black women and black women are disrespectful towards black men. Black men aren't leading the community and black people as a whole aren't evolving. We need to stop this and start helping our own communities like the others do.

Rihanna's stake is a closely guarded secret but she doesn't sit on the Board and is certainly not the CEO. However sales neared £600million in the previous financial year so we're talking half a billion in sales at least. THAT is the power of the Black Dollar/Pound and it's gone into the pockets of white shareholders. She's the face to get WOC away from the Kardashian domination of late. They've never created shades for us on the past because they didn't want this to seep into the consciousness of WOC but they're making too much money to care right now. People need to do their research and stop reading into society's rhetoric designed to diminish our power.

We as black women tend to have fuller lips, we age gracefully and slowly, the sun also doesn't burn us with permanent discoloration...etc. We're so naturally beautiful that adding a little blush or highlighter completely eliminates them off the face of the beauty game.

      Lynn Lynn they are very jealous. The hateful looks I get from white women when I step into a building, a clothing store, restaurant, exclusive club, etc... my beauty and presence aggravates them and they start to get a little aggressive because they feel insecure around me. Their men, husbands, boyfriends and whatever, stares at me, smiles, flirt with me in front of them, hold the door for me, pull out my chair..... it’s quite interesting.

    Thank you for featuring me in this video. I am so honoured and I love this topic. 👏🏾
    We as black women, we do tend to spend more on makeup because we need to “figure out” what will work for us or try to mix shades of foundation, concealer, powder together to get our shade or something close to it. Even though there is still a lot of work to be done, I do believe a shift is happening right now and I hope it continues to do so. It is time brands focus on catering to all rather than competing. It is time they bring out different shades of brown and not just light brown, brown, and “dark”. They need to consider our undertones and shades of melanin.
    It is time they also remember those who are not based in American, those who aren’t African American but also, British African, African Australian etc. cover all BLACK PEOPLE. All MELANIN!.
    We shouldn’t be an after thought, a “we are expanding later strategy”, we are not a trend! We are also important!

    I completely understand the frustration in not seeing relatable examples of beauty in the media. I am fair skinned but have dark hair, growing up in Eastern Europe I remember every single story we read as children the female protagonist was the most beautiful and that always included her being blonde. To me that was extremely infuriating, the only dark haired character was snow white, but she had impossibly pale skin- I was neither here nor there.
    I feel very hopeful seeing more and more representation for the ladies of colour and high quality brands founded by them. The most important thing is to have variety, beauty comes in many different forms and as long as we don't try to create one image to uphold we can all feel more comfortable in our skins.

    Looks like beauty industry always operates in a paradox way. In my country most females are pale yet we have an abundance of cosmetics for females with dark complexion and very few cosmetics that would go well with pale complexion. Same with sensitive skin issue common in here whereas what we have on offer is mostly for oily or combination skin, not for very common in here dry and sensitive skin. So I would say it's the huge global offer versus local demand mismatch in many countries. So maybe the best solution is local production by females who know best what local needs are?

    Wow I loved the points that were made in this video. This definitely has been talked about for years now but the recent shifts are not a coincidence. It’s great to see inclusivity but the end almost made me want to cry! Because it’s so true how inclusivity could possibly be a trend in makeup and not a solid change in the right direction.
    And how sad is that? What does that communicate to people who are just as valuable and beautiful?!!
    I’m so glad I watched this. I will be sharing everywhere I can.

Brands are starting to wake up finally. I just wish by black cosmetic brands are supported the same as the more well known ones. More black owned brands need to be on the shelf. It's making progress but it still needs a little more work. Jackie Aina has done such a great job at voicing these issues and working with brands to create better shades. Because of her I found my shade in Sephora. I hope that I can be a help to the beauty community with my CZcams channel as well.

The BROWN WOMEN are just simply BEAUTIFUL without ANY cover -up. We were BLESSED to be born with, 1. Rich skin tones ranging from the lightest Buttery Tans, to the deepest, Coffee/Chocolate Browns. 2. We have natural Lushious Lips, 3. We DO NOT wrinkle, as others do. 4.We have GREAT Bone Structure. 5. Our CROWNS, (hair) range from Soft Tight Coils to Silky, Losse, Waves, etc. We have adopted and have been Heavily INFLUENCED in our definition of What OUR, Beauty SHOULD look like. WE'VE Allowed, another people to tell US how U.N. -acceptable our True Beauty is to them, and have told us, "THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD define beauty. They (others) in turn, through the CONTROL of the market, then profit from services, and products that gives them the enhanced look of what WE ALREADY HAVE. They plump their lips, lay in the sun/tanning beds, use facial contouring, perm their hair, and the list goes on. In conclusion - To MY BEAUTIFUL, BROWN SISTERS, "They have proven what I say to be TRUTH. So LETS BOLDLY ROCK OUR GORGEOUS howEVER you ROCK IT. But KNOW - WE DON'T need to spend HUNDREDS of DOLLARS to have what We have NATURALLY❤❤❤MUCH LOVE SISTERS

    At 750 very valid point . As someone that has worked behind the scenes in the beauty industry, it’s fact that people in the board room , PD , concept , marketing etc don’t look like us. Even when we ( women of color) do apply for roles as such , it’s incredibly hard to obtain these roles and the interview questions that are asked...don’t get me started. Many brands are stuck on pet projects and the same brand norms. Making it impossible and all ideas dismissed for diversity expansion. On experience I will never forget is when I worked at one of the larger beauty companies and I was sitting at my desk. When Product development visited my area to test shade colors on my co workers ( all being lighter complexion.) both wore significantly less makeup then me. I was the only one that wasn’t tested for shade matching. I asked PD where is the makeup for me. The express on their faces made them as uncomfortable as I was, not having my shade or evening trying to include me in the conversation of helping my two co workers find their shade.
