    /

    Can you use some black-owned lip colors for National Lipstick Day? Blaq Vixen Beauty is on the case!  Happy National Lipstick Day! A few years ago, I rounded up a quick list featuring best selling MAC pink lipstick colors on black women. This year, I want to help put black-owned makeup brands (BOMBs) in the spotlight. There are five lip colors I think every woman should own: a notable nude a reliable red a posh pink a werk it wine a vivacious violet With this aim in mind, I sought out photos of celebrities wearing five popular black-owned lip colors. If you’re looking to support more beauty brands that are for us, by us,…

    Where to Buy Chokers Online By Black Women

    /

    It seems like everyone is wearing some variation of the choker nowadays – from Cookie Lyon to your faves dominating the conversation on gossip blogs/boards. I myself dabbled in the trend briefly by adding two simple gold neckbands to my collection from JLANI Jewels. I’ve found over 20 chokers online at various price points and in different styles. After weeks of reading what my favorite style publications had to say about the resurrection of this 90’s accessory mainstay, I was dissatisfied. Why? Because no one thought to include any collars from woman-owned businesses. Especially picks from black woman-owned brands. I mean, damn! Y’all know we’re the plug! Keep reading to find out where…

    Black-Owned Highlighters For Total Glow-balization

    /

    This compilation of black-owned highlighters for deeper skin tones has been in draft for a bit. At first, I wanted to showcase great highlighters that looked beyond on richer skin tones. If you follow any makeup Instagram accounts, then you know highlighters are, well, lit (pun intended). Inspired, I created this quick list identifying highlighters from black-owned businesses. Every entry featured is on my shopping list. My roundup is quite small, but our fellow entrepreneurs are launching new beauty businesses daily. It’s only a matter of time before I can provide a more impressive list of glow-getters. Staying faithful to my focus on black celebrity beauty, I have tracked down several black…
