We all live in a world where everyone is in the pursuit of beauty. Beauty is one of the most lucrative businesses we have right now, with millions of makeup and beauty brands in the market, as well as the new ones springing up daily. Nowadays everyone has become their own personal makeup artists with perfectly drawn brows and contoured faces thanks to YouTube tutorials and Beauty bloggers.
There are thousands of beauty bloggers these days each with her own unique taste, qualities and style; beauty bloggers (which are mainly female) dish out beauty tricks and tips on how to combine or create different beauty looks using various makeup or even household ingredients. The success of beauty blogging is measured by the amount of followers, viewers or subscribers you have depending on the platform being used. While there are alot of Caucasian, asian and lation bloggers, the black beauty blogger is on the rise as well. Recently Essence magazine decide to showcase what black beauty bloggers around the world look like, and here’s the list they compiled.
