If you’ve been on the hunt for a great pressed powder foundation for African American women, search no more black ladies! IMAN’s Pressed Powder matches your skin tone, removes shine and provides full even coverage for your black skin.
Hello Classy Black Ladies! I am very pleased to provide you with this review of IMAN’s Luxury Pressed Powder.
I have been searching high and low for a pressed powder foundation that will not only match my skin tone but also *not* make me look like I just stepped out of Michael Jackson’s thriller video shoot! I like my dark skin tone with its golden undertone and I want it to look that way whether I have foundation on or not.
It seems that I visit the beauty section of my local pharmacy every month looking for a new pressed powder. I’ve tried powder foundations by L’Oreal, Maybelleine and all the major brands, but they do not match my skin tone and do not provide even coverage.
I’ve also tried liquid foundations, like Maybelleine’s Dream Liquid Mousse (my last brand) but they just made my face look greasy and uneven.
About a month ago I was sorting through my foundation options in the beauty section of my pharmacy yet again, and picked up a new powder press foundation by one of the majors. I sighed, knowing that it would probably not work out, as I walked toward the register.
Then, like a beacon of light, I happened to look back toward the beauty section and saw a display for IMAN cosmetics. I’d never seen her beauty products in Fontana before.
I went over and picked up her Pressed Powder in Earth Dark. I went home and immediately tried….. the results??
WOW! I was truly amazed. The color didn’t seem like it would match my skin tone when I looked at it in the case, but when I put it on my face it blended perfectly. The pressed powder provided full coverage over my skin and didn’t make me look like a Black Zombie! Yay! It looked like my own natural skin tone.

A matte lip is a go to for me. I’m not a huge fan of glossy lips simply because my face is already an oil slick. However, a matte lip can be tricky sometimes. For me, achieving that even application is dependent on how moisturized and smooth your lips are.
One must prepare the lips properly before applying a matte lipstick because this could leave your lips looking a dry crumbling mess. Don’t panic just yet, we’ve got you. The key to achieving baby soft lips is to exfoliate. I usually mix a little sugar with olive oil or honey and gentle apply to the lips in a circular motion. You can also use a soft tooth brush or wash cloth in the same way to get rid of the dead skin on your lips. Also, a recent discovery of mine is the Elf exfoliating stick; it is just like a lipstick.
Here is a tutorial demonstrating how you can achieve baby soft lips for the perfect matte lipstick..

Ugh! I don’t know any makeup artist who enjoys cleaning their brushes…it’s just not fun. However, it is extremely important for us as makeup lovers to take the time to clean our brushes thoroughly at least once per week. Hey, hear me out for a sec. Would you continuously use a dirty wash rag covered in makeup to wash your face for weeks on end? Exactly. Think of your makeup brushes as a wash rag that you use to cleanse your face. If you do not wash and disinfect your brushes, bacteria will build up and this could lead to major skin problems.
There are a few easy ways to clean your makeup brushes without breaking a leg…I usually mix anti-bacterial liquid soap or baby shampoo with olive oil or coconut oil. The oil helps to break up the products that are trapped inside the bristles of your brushes and keep them soft and moisturized. Some people even use alcohol to help break down excessive products in their brushes. All these products are available at your beauty hub, Fontana Pharmacy…
Here is a quick video demonstrating how you can clean your makeup brushes quick and easy…
Ok my lovelies, don’t be lazy…clean those brushes…Until next time, stay gorgeous…

The eyes are the windows to the soul, so make them POP!!!
This winter we have seen on the runways big bright eyes paired with bold lips. You can achieve big sexy eyes with a few simple steps and tools. All you’ll need is mascara, eyeliner, a highlighting pencil and an eyelash curler.
For mascara, I would select the following because they lengthen and adds volume without clumping.
–Maybeline New York Volum’ Express Pumped up Colossal mascara
For eyeliner, you can choose between a gel liner and a pencil; whichever you are comfortable with. I would definitely recommend the following:
Revlon Colorstay creme gel liner – easy to apply and lasts all day
Nanacoco mechanical pencil – very creamy, smudges easily into the lash line to create a smokey effect.
For highlighting the water line and brow bone, I would recommend Milani’s Shadow Eyez pencil for its creamy consistency and blendability.
For all the products listed, don’t forget to visit your one stop beauty hub…Fontana Pharmacy
Here is a tutorial demonstrating how you can achieve bold eyes without lash extensions.
Until next time, stay gorgeous…

I personally love this formula! This foundation has a medium to full coverage and is easily build-able, which I love! Trust me my skin needs so much coverage. It definitely does cover any imperfections and fine lines and it looks so natural! It does give you a sort of matte look. I apply it with my Elf Professional Powder brush and it gives me a nice streak-free airbrushed look. I can definitely agree with the claims, it does not give you a cakey face or feel heavy, sometimes I even forget I’m wearing it. It doesn’t rub off or transfer once you set it your good to go for the rest of the day.
So would I buy this again? YES! I love how build-able this product is and the fact that I can use it as a concealer if I’m in a hurry And it’s not a bad price, especially if you can get it on sale.
Have you used this foundation? Did you love it? Hate it? Tell me in the comments or give me some recommendations of other things to try!
