7 Dope Black Makeup Artists You Should Follow

Black makeup is so important to many of us, when often our appearance and presentation are not only tied to how we feel, but also to our survival and navigation of an antiblack world.

It’s amazing to see how makeup for Black folks has become more readily available with the rise of social media, when often so many of us are subjected to not finding accesible makeup artists/makeup products due to colorism, fatphobia and capitalism.

Here are some of my favorite black makeup artists to follow that also share their magic and labor in providing information on products and methods for beauty!

My clients are usually asking for something natural (but still glamorous), so I thought it would be fun to take on the #MFMGChallenge from @MakeupForMelaninGirls and do something different by recreating this face chart! Plus, it's October. So anything goes😈💜 What do you think? If you're down with me, tag @MakeupForMelaninGirls lol😘 #MFMGCHALLENGE #MAKEUPFORMELANINGIRLS ________________________________ Eyes: @anastasiabeverlyhills Modern Renaissance Palette "love letter", Self Made Palette "Deep purple" and Artist Palette "phresh" and "aubergine" | @urbandecaycosmetics "Midnight Cowboy" glitter liner | @tartecosmetics clay liner | @ardelllashes Face: ABH #sticktoflawless foundation sticks "chestnut" and "cocoa" for foundation, "Amber" for highlight | @lancomeofficial stick foundation "555 suede" for contour | @maccosmetics "sketch" blush | ABH "Gleam Glow Kit" "hard candy" highlight Lips: @occmakeup lip liner "black dahlia" and ABH "potion" lip gloss
