Sam fine beauty5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Because it's more than just making darker shades-you have to reach out. I think some of the brands just don't know how to have the conversation. You have brands that have never spoken to this woman. _Have brands gotten better at all over the years at addressing women of color? Fashion Fair makes a great loose powder-RuPaul is a fan of it.
