Finding makeup, as a black female in the UK is a hard task if you don’t know where to start.

The beauty industry is worth billions of pounds and where I live, in London you can rarely find a variation of makeup for women of colour. (Thank God for the internet and the inner city!) I have tried various brands in the UK and also in the USA.

Makeup brand Sleek has developed over the years, I remember when I was in secondary school and the foundation I wore was an orange brown shade which was completely wrong, but as time has gone on, more brands have been produced and are more mainstream.

MAC makeup is my favourite brand of makeup that I love to wear. After a recent trip to the USA I have fell in love with the Cover Girl Queen Collection (not available in the UK as yet).

For great skin and to feel healthy inside and out, 8 glasses of water is what you should attempt to consume every day. Your skin will work wonders and you will glow.

Even if you don’t wear foundation you will have a great base for your moisturiser. The good thing about wearing foundation is that you can apply light layers to achieve the coverage that you are going for.

Concealers are a great wear to touch up any dark marks or circles on your face. If you are not interested in foundations and just want to conceal, this product will work for you.

Blending is key! You do not want to have any lines or blotches of makeup on your face. Sleek have a great Crème to Powder finish which is a great on the go foundation. I highly recommend this full coverage.

For people who want to enhance their features but do not want to overdo it, make sure your eye brows are professionally shaped, blend in any shade of brown eyeshadow on your eyelids and a few coats of mascara preferably in black and your favourite lipstick or lipgloss.

Finish off with a bronzing powder like NARS Casino for that extra glow. Always examine your makeup in natural light and last but not least...

SMILE!
