Why Does Beauty Become 'Niche' When It's Black-Founded?

Tomi Talabi is the founder of The Black Beauty Club , a cultural platform redefining how we see, celebrate and invest in Black beauty. Since launching in 2020, The Black Beauty Club has become a go-to destination for conversations, experiences and collaborations that center Black women at the heart of beauty and culture. Previously, Talabi led global communications at Estée Lauder Companies and spearheaded inclusive storytelling at Pinterest . Over the past 10 years in the beauty industry, I have watched Black-founded brands get covered on a schedule: during Black History Month, on Juneteenth, around a moment of social reckoning or alongside a time of struggle. Too often, the stories center survival, scarcity or support, instead of the things we would lead with for any other beauty brand: innovation, performance, desirability, cultural relevance and commercial potential. This framing matters because it does not just stay in the press. It follows founders into investor meetings, ret...

Indie Sun-Care Brands React to New FDA-Approved SPF Filter: 'It's About Damn Time'

America's sun-care market has long trailed behind its global counterparts (especially Europe and Asia's expansive SPF innovations), but now, we're one step closer to slathering on better sunscreen. Surprisingly, some good news came out of Washington, D.C. last week: On June 9, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officially approved bemotrizinol (BEMT) as a permitted sunscreen active ingredient. It's a major win for stateside SPF fans (and, frankly, anyone with skin), as it marks the first new addition to the FDA's over-the-counter sunscreen monograph since 1999. What is Bemotrizinol? BEMT — also known by its trade name Tinosorb S — is a broad-spectrum chemical UV filter that protects against both UVA and UVB radiation. "One of its most notable characteristics is that it is highly photostable, meaning it does not significantly degrade when exposed to sunlight, allowing it to provide consistent UV protection throughout sun exposure," Dr. Hadley Ki...

Chappell Roan's Makeup Artist Wants to 'Make People Look Like a Walking Piece of Art'

Andrew Dahling 's beauty awakening began at age 8, when he was left home alone for the first time: He snuck into his mom's makeup bag, and later got caught trying (unsuccessfully) to rub off waterproof mascara. While his parents were "gagged and shocked" when they found him, Dahling remembers that moment as the beginning of his beauty path. "When I was a kid, I went through this era where all I drew were women with tons of makeup and big lips and big eyes," he tells Fashionista. "Glamour and women always fascinated me, and I was enamored by the world of makeup, hair and fashion from an early age." Andrew Dahling.

Hi Fashionista! I'm Liz

Hi, Fashionista readers! Where do I even start? At a time when the media landscape is changing daily, with print magazines closing and digital teams shrinking, I know how rare it is to have a new job. If you saw "The Devil Wears Prada 2," you got a peek inside our new reality. But I'm here as Fashionista's new deputy content editor, and there are a ton of exciting things happening. Fashionista has been growing and growing, especially in social and video, and I'm thrilled to be joining such a talented team. But let me back up a bit and tell you a little about myself. I grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania (where the Hadids now casually own a farm). I was obsessed with media and magazines from an early age. My favorites were Lucky, Jane, Seventeen, CosmoGirl, Teen Vogue and so many others that sadly no longer exist in print. I also grew up at a time when movies glamorized magazine careers. Films like "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" and "13 Going ...
