Read it:
Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Detroit, Lagos and Warri, 1965 to 2026. For most of a century the American cosmetics counter carried a foundation range that stopped before it reached most of the world's skin, and the industry treated the stop as a fact about demand. Four founders treated it as a fact about supply. A working makeup artist cut a sponge with scissors because a new camera showed every edge. A financial analyst poured lipstick in a Brooklyn kitchen and kept the molds in her freezer. A brand executive who had launched other companies' products on three continents built her own, then asked every firm in beauty to publish how many Black employees it had. The argument was never about color. It was about who counts as a customer. Covers Rea Ann Silva, Melissa Butler, Sharon Chuter, Beautyblender, The Lip Bar, and UOMA Beauty.
