Brown skin has a tendency to become pigmented and leave brown spots where acne once was. This serum works wonders in correcting the skin to become more balanced, all while fighting fine lines and sun damage. You can use it morning & night and notice a difference in as little as 7 days.
Yes, this blush will work on your skin type and look amazing! This is one of the most iconic shades for cheeks and for good reason. Nars Orgasm Blush is highly pigmented and offers a silky texture that will give you the most natural finish.
All Modern Brown Girls look amazing in a bold red lip. The pigments in MAC’s Ruby Woo lipstick are flattering enough for all shades of brown and won’t leave your lips dry and flaky. This lip color is in every makeup artist’s bag and should be in yours too!
Bobbi Brown Shimmer in Brick will give you an instant glow that will have you feeling (and looking?) like JLo.

Made in Brazil, this luxury soap is 100 percent vegetable-based, paraben-free, and not tested on animals. The refreshing bars are produced in Brazil’s Amazon and contain exotic scents like “Odor de Rosas,” and “Agua de Alfazema,” that will leave your skin super soft and smelling delicious!
When styling your hair with heat, or to smooth it out, La Plancha has you covered. This miracle in an orange jar will make your hair manageable, healthier and will eliminate dullness. It’s no wonder this product has been a staple for Latinas all over the world.
After treating your hair with La Planca, you’re good to go with a good hair iron. CHI is the creme-de-la-creme of flat irons. Use it to straighten or to do loose waves. And you don’t have to crank up the heat on this iron to get an amazing finish, thus leaving your strands less damaged.
You can’t look amazing without a good foundation. Having moisturized skin with sun protection is a must. Mario Badescu’s Oil Free Moisturizer in SPF 30 is gentle enough for all skin types.
