The beauty industry has historically marginalized people of color, resulting in inadequate options for melanin-rich skincare and makeup. Beauty experts Nyakio Grieco and Tisha Thompson, who faced these challenges firsthand, founded brands that prioritize inclusivity and innovation. Grieco's Thirteen Lune marketplace enhances visibility for Black- and Brown-owned beauty brands, while Thompson's LYS Beauty addresses the lack of suitable products for diverse skin tones. Their personal experiences with improvisation in makeup have shaped their mission to create accessible and effective beauty solutions for all, particularly women of color.
My introduction to makeup was all about hacking the system and mixing and blending products to make them work. It often meant settling for 'close enough' shades.
Grieco is the founder of Relevant: Your Skin Seen and the co-founder of Thirteen Lune, an online marketplace that enables the discovery of Black- and Brown-owned beauty brands.
