Best Makeup for Women of Color (on a Budget): Reader Advice
Some of us here at TBF are women of color, and some of us are not. Regardless, anyone who’s spent a little time learning about the beauty industry knows that the make-up made for the masses is generally not geared towards the skin tones of women of color. The big brands have done better as of late—like Cover Girl’s Queen Collection —and Kathryn, of course, has referred readers to brands like Black Opal (specifically for their great foundation) in the past, But we want to know your thoughts—what’s your favorite make-up brand/product for women of color, on a budget?
CoverGirl Queen Collection Oil-Free Moisturizing Make up, $6.99 at drugstore.com.

My vote for the best budget makeup for women of color goes to L’Oreal. L’Oreal is a little more expensive than other drugstore brands but the breadth and compatibility of foundation and color options is almost unmatched.
I like the Loreal Hip line as well because their colors have more pigmentation than other drugstore brands. I also like Mizani, who lipsticks are the best you find for under $4.
I have yet to find a concealer or foundation that works for traditional (i.e. yellow-toned, but not dark enough to be olive) Asian skin.
