The UK’s Only Online Magazine Dedicated To Beauty For Women of Colour Re-launches.
With over 15 years of journalism and marketing experience, Ronke Adeyemi founded brownbeautytalk.com in 2014 after being tired of seeing little or no coverage of beauty products for women of colour in the UK. Rather than debate and talk about the issue of exclusion and diversity, Ronke decided to set up the dedicated website herself, self-funding the project and sourcing freelance writers for content.
In May 2017 brownbeautytalk.com has re-launched with a brand new look and attitude. The website aimed at Women of Colour (WoC) in the UK will feature more beauty product reviews with a heavy focus on foundation, concealers and haircare. The site will cater towards more purse friendly beauty products and operate a no bullshit beauty attitude as an unapologetic celebration of women of colour who are often invisible in the media.
Ronke Adeyemi, Founder and Editor In Chief of brownbeautytalk.com said, “With so many beauty products being launched every week it can be very overwhelming for our readers who don’t have the time or the budget to delve into all of them. Our aim is to test these products out and share the results, with particular focus on whether they suit the various skin and hair types of WOC.”
The website will also feature videos for the first time where events will be showcased and site visitors will be taken behind the scenes of some of their favourite beauty brands. The overall aim is to create an online space where WoC can come together and share their love of beauty. As well as the website the brownbeautytalk hosts the #BBT Twitter discussion which takes place every Sunday between 8pm and 9pm.
Ronke Adeyemi set up the brownbeautytalk.com as a platform where Women of Colour (WoC) could discuss beauty issues that affect them without fear of judgement. The site has covered everything from finding the right foundation, WoC who run their own beauty businesses, body image, sun care for WoC and reclaiming natural afro hair. It has received international coverage and will continue to be at the forefront of hair and beauty discussions for WoC in the UK.
Brownbeautytalk.com has gained a loyal following as well as a lot of media coverage on the BBC, The Voice, Pride, Black Hair and on several beauty blog. She has also collaborated with several beauty brands such as Mavala, Antonia Burrell, Fashion Fair and Anita Grant. brownbeautytalk was launched this April as an online magazine that covers beauty news, events and product reviews for WoC.
