If there’s one thing I can confidently say I’m passionate about in life, it’s makeup. My love affair began at the age of 12 when Victoria’s Secret lip glosses first hit the market and MAC pigments were all the rage at the department store counters. Let’s just say it was a phase I never really grew out of. To this day, I still find myself scouring the Sephora aisles for glosses and adding every eye shadow palette under the sun to my Ulta cart.
What I have noticed over the years though, is that some makeup isn’t exactly made with my specific skin tone in mind. I remember I would excitedly try certain items with a cult-following only to discover that they didn’t show up at all on my complexion. It’s a disappointing feeling to say the least. After lots of trial and error, and an improvement in the conversation around inclusive makeup, I’m happy to say that I’ve discovered brands that get an A+ for their formulas. They don’t skimp on quality and guess what? They’re also pretty affordable. Whether your skin tone leans olive, golden, tan, or deep, you’ll want to take a peak at these beauty-editor loved brands.
