This has lead them to increase their shade ranges and even hire more people of color in leadership positions to help with their diversity issue. Many mainstream beauty brands have also made it their mission to be more inclusive. 2020 brought a lot of struggle and pain, however, that made many people interested in supporting black owned companies which also included black owned beauty brands. So many black owned brands are now in mainstream stores such as Target, Ulta, Sephora & more. It was a wonderful experience but made me realize that at the time, no matter how much money you had, how successful you become if you were black (had brown skin), you were reminded that you weren’t worthy of beauty products. The brand and shade and guess what… WE DIDN’T HAVE IT IN STOCK! We didn’t have her shade in stock & we had a great conversation about the lack of inclusivity. That women was THE Naomi Campbell! She knew what she wanted.


She soon called me by my name to assist her and another women she was with. I told her I was available to assist her if she had any questions. Her assistant came in before she did, I was thrilled to see a black woman come in & I introduced myself. This was quite embarrassing when Naomi Campbell came into our store (Meatpacking) during Fashion Week.

If wearing gold jewelry looks best, you have warm undertones, but if the silver jewelry looks best, you have cool undertones. Try on both sets of jewelry and decide which jewelry flatters you the most.
