Today I will be sharing with you The Ultimate List of Black Owned Makeup brands #BOMB!

If you’re a Makeup junkie I’m sure you’ve already heard about the #BOMB challenge that was created by 2 beauty influencer’s on YouTube. Alissa Ashley and Alyssa Forever . Check out their video’s below.

With everything that has been taking place lately, especially in America with police brutality towards Black people. It is a welcomed refresher for the black communities to come together and support each other in any way possible. Another beauty guru on youtube Jackie Aina has cosigned this challenge and has recommended all beauty YouTubers to do this challenge regardless of race. Jackie also joined in on the challenge, her video is below.

So with that all being said, I have compiled a list of all the Black Owned Makeup Brands #BOMB that I could find. The list is divided into 2 sections; 1. brands that are solely black owned and notable mentions. In the notable mentions secions, you will find brands that are not black owned, but offer a range of products for women of color. As well as brands that sell nail polish, and supporting products like lip scrubs. The ultimate list of black owned Bath and Body Products will be coming soon! I hope you enjoy this list, and share it with a friend! In the near future, I do aspire for Luxe XO to produce a Cosmetics line that will be added to this long list of wonderful makeup brands. #BOMB
