11 Black Beauty Influencers You Should Be Following on Instagram

Just like it’s important to share Black-owned organizations for donation and Black-owned businesses to support during the Black Lives Matter protests (and always!), it’s also important to look at the diversity of your own social media feed. You can’t elevate the voices of Black people if you’re not following any. These Black beauty influencers are a good start if you’re a fan of colorful makeup, killer wigs and clutch skincare tips. Who isn’t?

Take Jackie Aina‘s no-BS approach to makeup. We love it when she calls out brands for their lack of shade representation, saying exactly what we were thinking. And this creates real change in the industry. Or take a look at Shalom Blac’s feed to see what real confidence is. The burn survivor became popular for the way she transformed her scars with makeup but she’s so much more than that. You might know Nyma Tang from her Fenty Beauty campaigns but you’ll learn she’s much more than just a pretty face.

When we speak about Black beauty influencers, we’re not just talking about those who identify as women. Black boys and GNC people often get looked over when it comes to big brand campaigns, fancy trips and sponsored posts but things are finally changing. Give those like Tavaris Jefferson and Victor Ramos a follow to diversify your feed in terms of both skin color and gender.

Below, meet some of our favorites Black beauty stars to follow on Instagram but be sure to check out their YouTube and TikTok feeds, as well.

My Favorite Matte Sunscreens For Oily & Blemish-Prone Skin

Sunscreen is arguably the non-negotiable skincare product that pretty much every dermatologist will tell you is an absolute must . Aside from SPF’s beauty benefits (it protects your skin from the sun’s wrinkle-inducing rays and offers defense against free radical damage), you probably already know just how important it is for the purpose of preventing life-threatening forms of skin cancer as well. Unfortunately, finding a matte sunscreen for oily skin types isn’t exactly an easy feat. While I recognize that a good sunscreen is paramount when it comes to preventative skincare and my overall health, I also happen to have very oily skin that tends to react rather poorly (a.k.a. looks like an absolute oil slick) with many sunscreen formulas — both mineral and chemical. However, just like it’s important to moisturize even the oiliest of skin types, it’s equally — if not more — vital to protecting shine-prone skin with SPF, regardless of what season it happens to be. On that note, yes, ...

The Best From-Behind Sex Positions For Bottomless Pleasure

Image
When you think of sex positions from behind , you may scratch your head at how backward penetration could stretch far beyond classic doggy style. And, I’ll be honest, I immediately (and erroneously) had the same reaction. As an avid fan of the down-on-all-fours technique, I questioned how you could possibly switch up reach-from-behind penetration for the better. I quickly realized I was overthinking it. You see, when it comes to sex positions from behind, it’s not as much about drastic directional changes as it is all about getting deep and, in some cases, putting balance to the test. Hell, in some renditions, you can even bring in props for added pleasure . The more research I conduct on from-behind play, the more I realize I have tested many of these delightful iterations in my own life. And that’s the beauty of these backwards sex positions: They don’t require gymnast-level flexibility to accomplish O-worthy depth—at least not all of them do. And let’s not forget: The view is pret...

The Best Drugstore BB & CC Creams For Acne Prone Skin

Image
Temperatures are beginning to sky-rocket, which means if you have oily or breakout-prone skin, excess sweat and shine may just become your worst enemy in the months to come. But if you’re like me, wearing a heavy, oil-controlling foundation with a flat-matte finish feels just plain wrong during the summertime, especially if you’re spending more time outdoors and looking for a simplified beauty routine. For me, beauty should be care-free and low maintenance during summer, not a hassle. While BB and CC creams are traditionally associated with having more hydrating formulas and dewy finishes, if you’re looking to get the fuss-free blendability, fast application and skincare-enhanced benefits of one of these complexion multi-taskers without the risk of turning your face into an oil slick mid-day, switching to an oil-free BB cream for acne-prone skin is your best bet. When both temperatures our skin’s oil production reaches their peak high, pores open up more, which can lead to exacerbat...
