In the mainstream consumer beauty market woman of color have a hard time finding products that match their undertones and that are good for their skin. It is important to bring attention to quality brands that do provide makeup for complexion in a variety of ranges without oxidizing AND is good for your skin.
During CIAA weekend professional cosmetics company, LimeLife by Alcone delivered a beauty experience focusing on makeup application for all women of color featuring pro-Makeup Artist Danessa Myricks and I had the pleasure of being involved in creating this event. Danessa Myricks is my favorite makeup artist and I love LimeLife by Alcone. It is 90% of my kit. I wanted beauty professionals and the everyday woman to have the LimeLife and Danessa experience.
