One of the craziest things about conducting this research was the fact that most employees just looked at the bottle and tried to guess from there. Who knew a white woman's makeup would work for colored girls?! Surprisingly, this foundation gave me just the right amount of coverage for my discoloration while staying true to my shade of brown. While that was the most generic name of a foundation I'd heard of and desperately wanted to write off, it turned out to be a decent look on me: She grabbed me the shade in 555C…and I had a 5 o'clock at 3 in the afternoon:īy this time, I was over it and ready to accept the fact that I'd have to spend $40 on the Becca foundation that worked.Ī particularly persuasive associate got me to try my last attempt was Kat Von D's makeup and selected the shade deep neutral for me. One employee raved about Lancome's Ultra Wear. I wanted to see how different the employee recommendations would be if I went to a Sephora in my own hood rather than one downtown. Once I finished at Ulta, I tried Sephora ooone more time Once pay day comes, I'm snatching this foundation from the shelf ASAP. This was the first time I'd ever been to a makeup retailer and the color actually made me look natural and even-toned. The minute she started blending it into my skin, I wanted to cry. She used a Becca foundation on me in the shade Sienna: When I finally found a display that wasn't trashed with a completely sold-out ethic section, the associate at the kiosk recommended Fenty's warm shade in 450. But while Rih knew what we needed, the Sephora employees decidedly didn't. Robyn Rihanna Fenty has reached legend status for her super-inclusive foundation range. Finally, I tried the much-laude Fenty foundation There were only about three shades even remotely representative of me, and most were completely out of stock while there was significant backstock of the dozen-plus white shades. The sad part about going through NARS collection was that most shades were for white women.
Unfortunately, I came out looking having a reverse sun burn. This is what it looks like in the bottle: I applied New Guinea, the darkest shade they had in-stock and the second-darkest shade in the entire line. I attempted an application of NARS Sheer Glow Foundation because my (light-skinned) friends had been raving about it nonstop. The Sephora specialist said "fuck it" and just handed me ABH's darkest colors, not even applying any of them to my actual face. These colors might even be too light for fucking Rachel Dolezal. People were going apeshit when ABH launched a spread of darker foundation colors but when I asked an employee to match me, none of their suggestions had any affiliation to my Black ass. First, I took a chance on the world-renowned Anastasia Beverly Hills
