Now more than ever it is important to support our own. Here are some of the Black-Owned beauty products that I use and love. Please share some of your favorite Black Owned products that you love down below! Also, has anyone tried to Uoma Beauty “Say What?” foundation? It is currently in my Ulta cart and I would love to hear your thoughts on it! 🙂
Pat McGrath Labs
I have a few Pat McGrath products and I love all of the ones that I have. I will be honest though, her line is on the pricier side but it is so worth every single penny. With this line, you truly get what you pay for.
Pat McGrath Labs Sublime Foundation
I love this foundation because of the skin like finish that it gives. After you apply this, it feels like nothing is on your skin and everything is smoothed out and blurred. I bought this sometime last year (during the summer or fall) and it is my go to foundation when I want to look put together but I don’t want a full glam face. I am in the shade M18 and it is a good match. For reference I am MAC NC44. This foundation gives a light to medium coverage but It can be built up if you really want to.
I have this lipgloss in a few shades. The first 3 are the ones I have full sized versions of and the last 3 are the ones that I have mini versions of . The mini versions come in a pack of three. I like the minis because you can throw them in your makeup bag and keep them there and just keep have the full sized ones in your vanity. The small ones also give you to opportunity to try out the gloss before you purchase a full sized one.
Blitz Gold
Love Potion
Nude Neglige
Pale Fire Nectar (my favorite of all of the glosses! It looks sort of intimidating in the bottle but it look sooo pretty over a nude lipstick.)
Divine Rose
Dare to Bare
Beauty Bakerie
I first tried Beauty Bakerie a few years ago. Although I wasn’t a huge fan of their original foundation formula (which they don’t sell anymore) there are other products that I really like from them.
When I originally purchased this powder it was named “yellow” but it has since been renamed to “cassava”. I really liked this powder then and I still have/use it. It is very fine and is not drying at all. I would like to try the white version of this because I really like a super bright under eye. I have a feeling it will give me the undereye brightness that I love.
All I have to say is La Vida Mocha. I am a sucker for an orange toned blush and this is blush is just beautiful!
Fenty Beauty
Foundation:
Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Foundation in shade 320
Pro Filt’r Hydrating Longwear Foundation in shade 330
Sun Stalk’r Bronzer in the shade:
Coco Naughty
I have this gloss in two different shades. I really want the clear version of this gloss. I think it’s called glass slipper.
Diamond Milk
Fu$$Y
Fairy Bomb Shimmer Powder (loose highlighter) in shades:
Rosé on Ice
This is such a beautiful highlighter. You don’t need much to get that disco ball glow!
Trophy Wife
Killawatt Freesytle Highlighter in shades:
Girl Next Door/ Chic Phreak
Ginger Binge/Moscow Mule (my favorite of the two I own!)
The first two shades are the ones I use for concealer. You do have to warm these up a bit on the back of your hard to make them work but but overall they give pretty good coverage.
Caramel
Sand
Truffle
Rum (shimmer)
Unicorn (shimmer)
Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Powder in shades:
I really like the powder but you have to be careful about applying it. If you apply too much, your underlies will be unbearably dry. You only need a little of this power to set your under eyes. The first 4 colors are the ones that I use to set my undereye are and occasionally my entire face. I use the last shade (nutmeg) to set my cream bronzer.
Butter
Banana
Honey
Cashew
Nutmeg
Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longer Concealer in shades:
This is one of my favorite concealers. I am super self conscious abut my under eye darkness and this really helps cover those areas. I have no issue with this concealer moving or fading away. As for creasing, I will always have some creasing with any concealer because I have a naturally wrinkly undereye area. Compared to some concealers that I have uses there is minimal creasing with this concealer. I use the first two (300 &310 to highlight/conceal my undereye area. I use 320 as a concealer as well but it is closer to my skin tone so it doesn’t give me that brightness that I like when I am doing full glam. I tend to use this when I just need something under my eyes to run to the grocery store. I use 420 to bronze my face.

Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick in shades:
These are actually on sale for $12.50 on the Sephora website which is such a great price! These lipsticks are so creamy and they come in a bunch of shades. I used to also own Flamingo Acid which is a really pretty berry shade that is perfect for the fall/winter months.
Ballerina Blackout
Violet Fury
Snap Shadows Mix and Match in shade:
I have not had the chance to use this yet. I purchased it while I was pregnant and I haven’t really had the chance to try it out since having the baby. I like this palette because it is shades of pink (hints the name lol). When I get the chance to create a look with it, I will post pictures on insta for you guys to see.
