Fashion Fair and BLK/OPL were center stage at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) providing makeup services. These iconic Black-owned beauty brands, known for their commitment to inclusivity and celebrating different skin tones, ensured that the speakers looked their best and felt confident representing their communities on such a significant national platform. The collaboration between the DNC and these heritage beauty brands highlights the importance of amplifying diverse voices and talent in spaces where they have historically been underrepresented.
The significance of Fashion Fair and BLK/OPL’s involvement goes beyond makeup—it symbolizes a powerful statement of excellence and empowerment. By spotlighting Black-owned beauty brands, the DNC acknowledged our community’s cultural and economic contributions, reinforcing the importance of representation in all areas, including politics, beauty and media. This partnership serves as a reminder that when Black-owned businesses are given a platform, they have the power to influence and inspire not only in beauty but across all sectors.
