Best Black-Owned Beauty Brands at Target

The Coolest Black-Owned Beauty Brands You Can Shop at Target

One thing people of colour on the hunt for beauty products know all too well is that finding products and brands that actually take our needs into account can be a bit of a journey — especially when it comes to drugstore shopping. Too many times have I found myself roaming the beauty aisles of any given drugstore only to come across makeup companies with foundation ranges that aren't wide enough, hair products that aren't designed for kinky textures, or eyeshadow palettes that aren't pigmented enough to show up on darker skin. Thankfully, stores like Target have a wide range of product lines created by Black founders that make products specifically for people of colour.

Ahead, check out some of our favourite Black-owned beauty brands whose products can currently be found at Target.

The Lip Bar

The Lip Bar is a vegan beauty brand that once specialised in — you guessed it — lip products, though the brand has since expanded its range in the last year to include everything from eye pencils to a bronzer palette to 26 shades of foundation. Since being founded by former Shark Tank contestant Melissa Butler, The Lip Bar has amassed a huge following thanks to its mission to create a limitless selection of makeup options for women everywhere. The Lip Bar Matte Liquid Lipstick ($13) is a bestseller.

Carol's Daughter

Named after founder Lisa Price's mother, Carol's Daughter prides itself on its products being "made with love." The brand launched in 1993 with some of Price's own homemade hair and body products, and in the decades since, it's become a favourite among people with textured hair and made its way to Target in 2016. One of its bestsellers is the Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Moisture and Shine Leave-In Conditioner ($11).

Created by stylists Maya and Brian Smith, The Doux isn't the couple's first take on entrepreneurship.

One of the brand's bestselling products is The Doux One Love Co-Wash All-In-One Shampoo Deep Conditioner Treatment ($13).
