    Love The Skin (Makeup) You're In

    Because 'nude' foundation shouldn't mean accidental whiteface. Here are some easy-to-find ones that won't all be named after synonyms for mayonnaise.

    There might be 50 shades of grey, but going shopping for makeup can frequently mean you've only got three shades of brown. The cosmetics industry frequently does a terrible job of ensuring that there's a good amount of diversity represented in terms of product range and models. For years, a gigantic percentage of consumers looking for good makeup were driven to aisles that were quite literally labeled "ethnic," as though anything other than Caucasian implied other-ness. And oftentimes, women of mixed or Asian descent were forced to mix their own makeup or buy cosmetics from overseas.

If you're looking for accessible products that won't break the bank and will actually match well, you've got options.
