As melanated women, “girl maintenance” can be quite the task. Between browsing beauticians and landing lash ladies, finding the right match for our bi-weekly upkeep is often exhausting. Throw in the search for a bomb nail tech and it’s easy just to say “forget it” altogether. However, while those things may be daunting, they’re fun and necessary. The same goes for our at-home self-care routines. Here are the best beauty products for Black skin.

In an age where gatekeeping is at an all-time high, letting each other in on the secret(s) to premium makeup and skincare at an affordable rate is important. With the climate of today’s economy, (the truth is) not everyone’s pockets are wide enough to cash out on hundred-dollar bottles of foundation or moisturizer. Some of us still rely on drugstore favorites to get us by… and that’s okay!

This is why you should always:

  • Stockpile: We’re all guilty of getting “just enough to last” until there isn’t anymore. Then, as soon as we run out, we’re either scrambling to find our go-to items or forced to settle for something less-effective. Whether there’s a sale or you have some extra coins after bill-paying day, it’s vital to load up! This is a great way to help budget and free up the money you would (usually) allot upon running out for something else the following month.
  • Compare prices: Walking into the store and picking up the first thing you see isn’t recommended. See what’s more reasonable, check the labels, and read the ingredients. You’d be surprised how many hidden gems you can come across if you choose quality over quantity. The higher the cost doesn’t always mean the better. Neither does the prettier packaging!
  • Apply wisely: Utilize what’s needed to get the job done! Spread it out! Too often, we skip the directions and plop it on without realizing we’re doing ourselves a disservice by overusing the product and speeding up the restocking process.

Although on the higher end of the price spectrum, Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation is worth every penny! What’s so admirable about this product is it’s full coverage, long-lasting, and doesn’t feel like an extra layer on your face. It goes on smoothly, doesn’t cake upon application, and won’t sweat off during the day. A pump here and there goes far! Also, if you’re of darker skin tone, there’s no need to worry about if the foundation will leave orange residue behind. The chemists involved ensured that this would have a natural, matte finish!
