Beautifully brown
Melanie Yvette worked as a beauty and fashion editor for the Ebony edition about African American culture, and now she has her own blog. She writes columns and gives practical advice to dark-skinned girls - no matter what nationality or ethnic group they belong to. For Melanie, it is obvious that the beauty industry often ignores such people, so it is important for her to bring their beauty to their readers. The whole section is devoted to interviews with successful women who talk about cosmetics, work and hobbies. There are materials in which a blogger raskazyvaet, for example, about decent mineral powders for dark skin or orange blush, which really look fantastic. Her personal experience is also useful to make-up artists - she details the specifics of the selection of products, colors and textures for dark skin and curly hair.
The main section of the blog, of course, is about culture, and articles about current issues are no less than inspiring interviews. The controversial (and offensive) names that cosmetic brands choose for their products, the social habit of representing black girls as exotic and the scandals arising from this - such news sometimes does not even get wide publicity. In the same section you can find materials on various cases of cultural appropriation, racism and colorism in the United States, and find out what the talented journalist thinks about, for which all of the above things are not an empty phrase.
