It seems like the world of makeup, hair and all things related to beauty has taken Instagram by storm. The number of hashtags, posts, and accounts dedicated to makeup and beauty is astounding. If you’re a follower of beauty and fashion, then I’m sure you know of just how large the makeup and beauty community is on Instagram. 



6 NUDE LIPSTICKS PERFECT FOR WOMEN OF COLOR




From pics of stunning nail art designs to flawless makeup selfies, the amount of awe inspiring beauty pics is enough to have you heading out the door and to your local beauty supply store. 


Despite the popularity of the makeup and beauty community, it often feels as though certain demographics are lacking in the exposure department. Women of color, especially black women, often have difficulty finding makeup and beauty accounts that represent their respective communities. 



With that being said, we’ve taken to Instagram in search of the best makeup accounts for black women. The following is a list of the 5 best black makeup artists to follow on Instagram.

After taking a break from YouTube for several years, she recently updated her channel with new videos and tutorials.

4 HOT BEAUTY TRENDS YOU NEED TO TRY IN 2016

MAKEUP BY KANGAI (@BELLESAAFRICA)

New Video Up!! So in my compound there are quite a number of gorgeous flowering bushes. So when one started producing these violet and purple hibiscus blooms, I decided to shoot a tutorial inspired by them, featuring foiled shadows by @makeupgeekcosmetics and two @morphebrushes eyeshadow palettes. PLUS I also managed to grab both @maccosmetics #MagicOfTheNight highlighters, with one featuring here (full review coming VERY soon). A big shout out to my girl Sheilla- MAC Village Market store manager, and one of my sweetest friends. These highlighters have been sold out AROUND THE WORLD- I know- I tried ordering them online in November and December but nope!! Thanks Sheilla!! And I also wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who sent me support and encouragement during the new year. To be honest, I was really sad and depressed (video shares why), but y’all CAME THROUGH for me! Y’ALL CAME THROUGH!! I felt the love guys, and I still do. So I really hope you enjoy this new tutorial because I made it for you, inspired by you. And also because this year I want to really focus on happiness, choosing joy, being healthy and starting afresh. There’s no time like the present. Have a fantastic rest of your Wednesday my friends. Y’all are LOVED!! #kenyanmakeupartist #kenyanmua #bellesaafrica #makeup
