I've been thinking about how cosmetics for beauties fo color have progressed from what I remember until now. My mom never had foundation or powder growing up because they didn't make it in her skin tone.
When about 12 years ago I found one or two "deep" or "dark" shades and it wasn't enough. I also remember Shades of You by Maybelline and how they promoted a wide range of beautiful colors- but unfortunately the foundations were too oily. Then while shopping would find Flori Roberts or Iman in dept stores. Then in Jr High school getting excited with Clinique had Stay Amber because it matched.. then onto MAC when they had strictly C's, N's and W's from 1-10 (- they discontinued 80% of the 30 shades they had). So now that I see more companies tying to make an effort with ethnicities- do you think its getting better? Are we getting the recognition?
