From Vogue.co.uk……
Last autumn, I published my book Palette, The Beauty Bible for Women of Colour. Aside from the obvious “Why did you write this book?” (answer: because brands were erasing Black women from the beauty conversation and I wanted to write them back in), the question I got asked the most was: “Do Black people really need different beauty products?” Sometimes, this line of questioning was innocent and laced with curiosity. Other times it was accusatory, heaving with disdain.
