Being women of color, the challenges are great.
Throughout my family, we have all struggled to find help and guidance in a world it seemed only created and marketed to those with milky color skin tones. Thank you Sadichchha Adhikari for giving us an insight as to how brands for women of color came to be and for even exposing me to some brands I was not aware of. Congratulations on this masterpiece.

Most of the beauty brands we know are not separate entities; they are all owned by one of seven conglomerates.
Sadichchha Adhikari wants to talk about it.
Beautiful People: Women of Color Decentralizing Innovation in Beauty details the beauty industry's history, tracing back the origins of its renowned and beloved companies. It also tells the stories of women of color who founded companies to diversify and decentralize product development to create successful brands. In a sea of cookie-cutter brands, these women defied the odds to create products for others like them and paved the way for more independent, diverse businesses.
You’ll read inspiring stories from
Rea Ann Silva, the founder of Beautyblender
Toni Ko, the founder of NYX Cosmetics
Heela Yang and Camila Pierotti, the founders of Sol de Janeiro
and many more!
You’ll love this book if you’re looking to unveil the inner workings of the lucrative beauty industry. Get invaluable advice from some of the most successful women in beauty and learn about how they overcame their obstacles to create inclusive products in Sadichchha Adhikari’s Beautiful People: Women of Color Decentralizing Innovation in Beauty.

This book has truly changed my beauty experience. So thoughtfully written, curated with brilliant research and real life applications as to how we can create a more equitable and inclusion beauty industry. As a consumer, the decisions we make at checkout have an impact. So inspired by the stories of the women of color featured in this book.
