The world of beauty is a big one, but as a woman of color, it can still feel relatively small. Brands like Fenty Beauty by Rihanna have made it easier to find the shades we need (when they’re not completely sold out at Sephora!) but finding women showcasing our shades can still be tricky.
YouTube is one of the go-to places for the latest video tutorials and content, but Instagram is the true goldmine. There are a ton of different influencers that deserve recognition (and we will be constantly updating this page!), but here are a few black beauty bloggers to follow in Instagram for melanin queens of all shades:
