To be honest why do we beg and ask them to include us when we can create our own. This is where the problem is, they r not the problem, we are the problem. Stop looking up to ppl who don't look like us to include you, build ur own brand so the money stays in the community. All they will do is create the line just to collect the money. It doesnt mean now they care, they jus see our desperation for their acceptance

I agree. Black people are too reliant on the whites or others to help or include us. Blacks need to wake up and start investing into black communities. The black men are neglecting black women and black women are disrespectful towards black men. Black men aren't leading the community and black people as a whole aren't evolving. We need to stop this and start helping our own communities like the others do.

However sales neared £600million in the previous financial year so we're talking half a billion in sales at least.

Thank you for featuring me in this video. I am so honoured and I love this topic. 👏🏾 We as black women, we do tend to spend more on makeup because we need to “figure out” what will work for us or try to mix shades of foundation, concealer, powder together to get our shade or something close to it. Even though there is still a lot of work to be done, I do believe a shift is happening right now and I hope it continues to do so. It is time brands focus on catering to all rather than competing. It is time they bring out different shades of brown and not just light brown, brown, and “dark”. They need to consider our undertones and shades of melanin. It is time they also remember those who are not based in American, those who aren’t African American but also, British African, African Australian etc. cover all BLACK PEOPLE. All MELANIN!. We shouldn’t be an after thought, a “we are expanding later strategy”, we are not a trend! We are also important! Thank you BET for covering this. ❤️👏🏾

Wow I loved the points that were made in this video. This definitely has been talked about for years now but the recent shifts are not a coincidence. It’s great to see inclusivity but the end almost made me want to cry! Because it’s so true how inclusivity could possibly be a trend in makeup and not a solid change in the right direction. And how sad is that? What does that communicate to people who are just as valuable and beautiful?!! I’m so glad I watched this. I will be sharing everywhere I can. We must be the change we want to see! And I’m so happy and here to support every WOC who wants to put out her own products to cater to a demographic that is too often intentional pushed to the side. More power to these women!!

I completely understand the frustration in not seeing relatable examples of beauty in the media. I am fair skinned but have dark hair, growing up in Eastern Europe I remember every single story we read as children the female protagonist was the most beautiful and that always included her being blonde. To me that was extremely infuriating, the only dark haired character was snow white, but she had impossibly pale skin- I was neither here nor there. I feel very hopeful seeing more and more representation for the ladies of colour and high quality brands founded by them. The most important thing is to have variety, beauty comes in many different forms and as long as we don't try to create one image to uphold we can all feel more comfortable in our skins.

Vera Moore Cosmetics was made by a black woman for black women over 20 years ago.

Loved this! I started a lipstick line in 2016 for women of color because I’m a lipstick addict and it was so hard finding the colors I needed. I officially launched last year Lolly Lips By Kyanna. It has been amazing to see the progression of cosmetics for black women over the last few years.

Looks like beauty industry always operates in a paradox way. In my country most females are pale yet we have an abundance of cosmetics for females with dark complexion and very few cosmetics that would go well with pale complexion. Same with sensitive skin issue common in here whereas what we have on offer is mostly for oily or combination skin, not for very common in here dry and sensitive skin. So I would say it's the huge global offer versus local demand mismatch in many countries. So maybe the best solution is local production by females who know best what local needs are?

This is a big business opportunity and yet we are begging for inclusion.

Brands are starting to wake up finally. I just wish by black cosmetic brands are supported the same as the more well known ones. More black owned brands need to be on the shelf. It's making progress but it still needs a little more work. Jackie Aina has done such a great job at voicing these issues and working with brands to create better shades. Because of her I found my shade in Sephora. I hope that I can be a help to the beauty community with my KZread channel as well.

Buuuut can't we say the same about the pile of weave you have on your head in your avatar picture? See how THAT works? 🙃 Moral of the story: JUST STOP policing black women's bodies whether it's about our makeup or our hair!

Amazing value in here! As a French woman it is great to have these insights from the american perspective and ponder about what is going on in the french market for minorities. Thank you BET Network for this one!

Revlon ColorStay Foundation was one of the first drugstore brands that tried to be inclusive with shade and skin types for me. As frugal as I am, lack of shade options is why I don’t get creative and try new items.

How is Jackie not on this

I enjoyed the total segment. Thank you. I hope the makeup industry watching and learns what is important to Women of Colors. I want to see African American women in the board meetings when selecting our makeup. Please send this video to ALL brands so it can speak for WOC and let the industry know we exist, this is what we are thinking, feeling, and how serious we take our skin tone.

Eyebrow pencils ladies I didn't hear anything about eyebrow pencils!!!

To find your right shade is so difficult I use two to three foundation shades to make my perfect shade, the only foundation that I can use one foundation is Fenty I appreciate Rihanna for including all colors of black into her cosmetic brand and using many different black women across the globe to showcase her brand I like to see people that look like me using products ‼️

At 750 very valid point . As someone that has worked behind the scenes in the beauty industry, it’s fact that people in the board room , PD , concept , marketing etc don’t look like us. Even when we ( women of color) do apply for roles as such , it’s incredibly hard to obtain these roles and the interview questions that are asked...don’t get me started. Many brands are stuck on pet projects and the same brand norms. Making it impossible and all ideas dismissed for diversity expansion. On experience I will never forget is when I worked at one of the larger beauty companies and I was sitting at my desk. When Product development visited my area to test shade colors on my co workers ( all being lighter complexion.) both wore significantly less makeup then me. I was the only one that wasn’t tested for shade matching. I asked PD where is the makeup for me. The express on their faces made them as uncomfortable as I was, not having my shade or evening trying to include me in the conversation of helping my two co workers find their shade.

Fenty definitely changed the game. I'm the girl at 5:10 and I love the palette I'm holding because I could create literally any color. I don't feel like we need to beg brands to include us, we just need to support the ones that already do 🤷🏾‍♀️

Bravo BET! Thanks for this documentary on how important Black women to the beauty industry!

Absolutely beautiful topic thought considering how much black Women Spend on Makeup, I love it 🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜🔥🔥🔥.

Meanwhile I’m over here working as a model for a new makeup technology where you can virtual match your share just by taking a selfie. We have come along way but can we all appreciate the progress we’ve made thus far

Thank you 😭 can y’all make this a panel discussion as well. Why is the lack of representation with WOC as well as a lack of body positivity in fashion and beauty

Thank you for your kind Words of Wisdom 💜 blessed love 💜.

I just purchased for the first time from Colored Raine, and OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH HUNNY, I was BLOWN AWAY by the color saturation and creaminess of everything!!!!!

Love this doc!

I so appreciate this video expressing the thoughts of so many so clearly! Because even as drugstore brands are dropping Foundation shades darker than I have ever seen, when you get to CVS & Walgreens, they might not have them. And Walgreens is the drugstore I use, so I should not speak on CVS. Walgreens has not been having the new darker shades or even medium dark shades from drugstore brands that have extended their shade range. Maybe it’s just in my city, but it’s frustrating as heck.

I had to go for a minute, but I want to say, that I was born in 1963 and remember clearly when makeup for deep/dark skin tones was almost nonexistent, and to see a time come when we have Fenty, Juvias Place, Crayon Uoma, is such a good feeling. And what I really Love is these brands aren’t excluding anyone, they have shades across the range and they take the same care in getting undertones right across the board. And I like a lot of brands, but I am loyal to these brands that didn’t believe the hype. You know, the hype that products specifically for deep/dark skin tones don’t sell. Actually this is why all these brands are jumping on the bandwagon! They saw Fenty pull into the train station and leave them behind. They didn’t just suddenly decide they should cater to everyone, no, they saw all that money going to a new brand when they have been doing this forever but weren’t inclined to address this issue. Anyway, I’m putting this on my Facebook page for my family and friends. Excellent piece.

This is a very informative and on point!😃

This is so very true I walked into a store the other day trying to find a shade to fit me I am in between I'm not very light and I'm not very dark but I still have a hard time finding a shape that is right for me I have ended up with two or three different shades sometimes I have to mix them to get my shade thanks for this video

I am so grateful that you guys are bringing this to societies attention but one thing that I did not hear was... What is actually in the makeup and or products? I am big on natural/ organic makeup and I have the most difficult time finding the right shades as well. So the process of the making and not wanting harmful chemicals has been extremely important to me.

Tiana Raine I review toxic free foundations on my channel, so far I like Pat McGrath &/or Becca Ultimate Coverage Foundation for everyday liquid foundations and maybelline superstay stick foundation or L’Oréal infallible stick foundation ❤️

My mom has deep brown skin and she has been using Estee Lauder skincare and foundation since her late teens.

Ulta might be late to the game, but Uoma, Juvia’s Place and Beauty Bakerie are amazing! I love that I can go to the store and try them buy my shades!

We all have the RIGHT to BE and PRESENT to the world our own unique "ME", and That is an AWESOME thing! But I see something that is "WAY MORE", AMAZING. The BROWN WOMEN are just simply BEAUTIFUL without ANY cover -up. We were BLESSED to be born with, 1. Rich skin tones ranging from the lightest Buttery Tans, to the deepest, Coffee/Chocolate Browns. 2. We have natural Lushious Lips, 3. We DO NOT wrinkle, as others do. 4.We have GREAT Bone Structure. 5. Our CROWNS, (hair) range from Soft Tight Coils to Silky, Losse, Waves, etc. We have adopted and have been Heavily INFLUENCED in our definition of What OUR, Beauty SHOULD look like. WE'VE Allowed, another people to tell US how U.N. -acceptable our True Beauty is to them, and have told us, "THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD define beauty. They (others) in turn, through the CONTROL of the market, then profit from services, and products that gives them the enhanced look of what WE ALREADY HAVE. They plump their lips, lay in the sun/tanning beds, use facial contouring, perm their hair, and the list goes on. In conclusion - To MY BEAUTIFUL, BROWN SISTERS, "They have proven what I say to be TRUTH. So LETS BOLDLY ROCK OUR GORGEOUS howEVER you ROCK IT. But KNOW - WE DON'T need to spend HUNDREDS of DOLLARS to have what We have NATURALLY❤❤❤MUCH LOVE SISTERS

This been talked about for over 100 years and there are/was Black Owned Beauty companies/products for over 100 years.

Black women get judged by society and our own people too(black men) but we are just women with color.

Love this series.

This was a good watch.

Great piece!🥰

I love makeup, but sometimes I'm afraid of it, lol.. I have eczema and very oily skin.. Everything slides off of my round face!!! Contouring is the worst, I have a original MJ nose, lol.. It's hard for me, to feel comfortable with makeup!!!!

I wish you would do an episode featuring up and coming black owned brands.

Really! We blame other groups for not including US 😢 So much money to spend and can't invest in ourselves....

If it takes $700 or more of makeup to be on your face daily for you to feel beautiful, than your the problem!

As a mixed Asian woman with brownish wheat skin I used to love every Maybelline brand make up as a teenager. But as times goes by they have change every product to make it whitening or brightening after use. And it's sad cos I don't need to whiten or brighten my skin. Just need a natural skin tone foundation that's all. And some colors for my skin to make it pretty. I end up loving fenty by Rihanna products as it really bring out the best of my skin color. I'm sticking by fenty for the foundation sick. More than 30 colours OMG!!!! Love it

Lordt what happened to Fashion Fair? That's all my granny needed and had....

Wow the fenty beauty section was gorgeous but I love julee's lip color too.

Thank God for Fenty, Lip Bar, and Juvia's Place...

It's cool they want to make shades for us now, but I'm working on making my makeup products ALL black owned and then its on to skincare ✨

Fenty is amazing! It’s crazy walking into a Sephora and seeing all the shades. If my brothers were to join me in makeup (theoretically speaking) there’s a shade for each of us there (we’re biracial - Samoan and White mix - and all of our skin tones are darker or lighter than the other). I just think it’s cool cuz not only is there a foundation shade for you, but also a CONTOUR shade, a CONCEALER shade, a HIGHLIGHTER shade. Fenty did that! Kinda dumb that brands are NOW launching better products for darker skinned people, but I’m glad they are now. (Why so long tho? Bumbai ya learn!)

Black women and black skin is so sensational, I am so happy that we have brands like Fenty beauty that have absolutely revolutionised this industry and shown that there is a greater need for diversity in the beauty industry. MAC, Bobbi Brown, Estee Lauder have also been amazing throughout the years, I am so glad that we have so many powerful voices talking about this.

If your product is not pigmented , why are you selling it? I don’t get these big name brand companies have trashy eyeshadows.

🖌️ Thank You!
