Starting your natural hair journey can be a little overwhelming, especially if you've gone your whole life chemically treating your hair and don't know how to deal with your new texture. It can be a big learning curve, but that doesn't mean you can't do it — you just need a little schooling.
Finding the perfect foundation is hard enough as it is — no one needs limited shade ranges to make things even worse. Luckily, thanks in part to the Fenty Effect (aka Rihanna and her 50-shade foundation collection), things are starting to change. It also took the work of outspoken customers and even internet celebrities like Jackie Aina (who partnered with Too Faced to add 11 new shades to one of its most popular foundation formulations) to really get the ball rolling.
So, you've gone natural and probably been on your natural hair journey for a while, but now you're thinking about adding another layer of complexity: You want to try some color.
Your skin changes as you get older: In your 20s, you battled acne and oily skin — and in your 50s, you'll be dealing with fine lines and wrinkles. Your skin's natural oil production will stars to slow, which can lead to a duller complexion... and suffice it to say, with these changes, your same old foundation (and other makeup products) may not work the best for you anymore.
It's official: Cannabidiol (CBD) is the It Ingredient of 2019. You'd be hard-pressed to go anywhere these days without hearing someone rave about CBD or shopping at a store that sells it. (For a while, there was even a CBD cocktail bar near my apartment.)
