Best Black Owned Beauty Brands
Published on March 25, 2026.
The article lists the best Black-owned or -founded beauty brands that are truly tailored for those with deeper, darker skin tones. In 1973, Fashion Fair cosmetics was the first national makeup brand founded by and catering to women of color. However, only about 5% of retail-carried beauty brands fall under this category. Black-founded makeup and skin care brands typically offer products designed specifically for people with lighter skin tones, while most also offer options for those of lighter tones. Black Opal, known as BLK/OPL, makeup aims to provide high-quality makeup without the high price tag and cruelty-free products. Other notable brands include BeautyStat, Bevel, and Bread Beauty Supply, which uses natural ingredients that are health-conscious and suitable for those living a vegan lifestyle.
