Nude. Flesh-tone. For decades, when these words were used, it was often to describe a peachy tan – not the multiple variations of skin color that exist among humans.
In spite of the Black personal care industry being a $700B one, advertising dollars are, overall, disproportionately spent on White consumers. With African-Americans watching more television than any other group, advertisers are missing a niche opportunity. As African American women, we need to use our voice and economic dominance to further influence brands and marketers to create products and market products directly to us.
The concept of flesh-tone in marketing, media and products has, historically, been limited to Whites. Johnson & Johnson created Band-Aids in 1920s in a beige color and the products was, unsurprisingly, not marketed towards the African-American population. In a 1955 Band-aid ad, a White woman modeling a Band-Aid on her hand and an voiceover proudly declaring, “Neat, flesh-colored, almost invisible!”
The simple statement: “flesh-colored” and illustrating one type of skin color, was limiting, creating a dangerous statement, and has taken us down a winding road of mainstream products, not being created with multiple variations in mind. For the purpose of this article, I tried to determine, through scholarly research, just how many varying shades of skin color there are. I couldn’t. There are that damn many. In 1957, Johnson & Johnson created a clear band-aid, which is still in production today. However, though we have SpongeBob’s and Dora’s and every other print that can cause intrigue, Johnson & Johnson has not responded to their minority customers.
…and this is a shame. The current buying power of African-Americans is $1 TRILLION…yes, I repeat, $1 TRILLION and predicted to be $1.3T by 2017. The strength of our spending power has shifted the market to adapt or create specific brands that are more inclusive. In 1969, after watching models mix foundations to create specific shades, Johnson & Johnson created a capsule collection, a mail-order brand named Fashion Fair, launched in 1973 by popular demand.
In that same time period, came the popularity of sheer panty hose. While they came in sheer and even extra sheer, the panty hose still did not cater to women of color. Over 40 years later, we have a burgeoning of beauty and fashion products created in response to the demand that larger corporations and brands often ignore.
One of these “invisible” women of color, dancer Erin Carpenter, was familiar with the struggle, constantly facing challenges in finding hosiery to match her skin tone. Sick of dying and altering hosiery to match her skin, she founded Nude Barre . Nude Barre is an eco-friendly undergarment line made in 16 shades of nude to match all skin tones. The website states it’s, “durable enough for active women and stylish enough for everyday fashion.”
Erin exclusively told HelloBeautiful about her experience in creating a product by and for women of color: “When dealing with my customer directly it has been great. The response is amazing and my customers are grateful for a product like Nude Barre. Nude Barre makes women of color finally feel included in the lingerie and hosiery market and not an after thought.”
Though consumers, customers and the general product are screaming for inclusion, retailers are still not fully realizing the disconnect. Black owned. Female owned. A focus on shades that most brands don’t even acknowledge: it seems like a no-brainer. Erin tells us,
When dealing with retailers things can be a little bit tricky. A majority of the buyers are not women of color and do not truly understand the pain of not finding undergarments in their nude shade. Therefore, they do not always understand the frustration. They hear about it from time to time, but I really have to sell them on this idea. The idea that finding ‘nude’ feels impossible to many women.
As a former fashion buyer, I can attest to the lack of women of color in the industry. It’s no surprise that something which directly doesn’t affect the buyers is not a focus, as they simply cannot understand the niche opportunity.
However, fashion designer Christian Louboutin is capitalizing on the demand and reaching this consumer niche, which in reality, is a massive market. Launching in 2013, Louboutin began with a five-shade line of “nude” shoes, to the delight of the consumer market. He has plans to expand the capsule collection by next year to seven shades. Even Donna Karan is investing in the new nude. Her line, simply dubbed, “The Nudes”, is the fastest growing hosiery category, representing 50% of the brands’ multi-million dollar hosiery business. Duke graduate, Ade Hassan, is the founder of Nubian Skin , a line of lingerie that comes in various skin tones for women. We reported on her burgeoning lingerie empire earlier here .
Yet, for every step forward, we still deal with challenges. In 2003, Johnson & Johnson released a ‘concealable’ contraceptive, Ortha Evra. Within a year, the company had made almost $30M dollars. However, the company alienated African-American woman (despite using them in advertising), because the patch came in one color, which they dubbed: beige. The ‘concealable’ contraceptive was only hidden, for a few. In 2004, the below Ortha Evra commercial came out, illustrating a diverse group of women using and wearing the patch and boasting, “On your body, off your mind.” On the company website , their main model is a black woman, and the patch is starkly visible on her back. If they can advertise with African-Americans in mind, why can’t the product be created or evolved with us in mind as well?
As we move into a more diverse nation, the definition of nude will continue to expand. Retailers and brands can continue to ignore the growing population of people of color, forcing the hand of African-American consumers and others to demand and seek other smaller power players that are responding to the needs of the 21 st Century. The power of the African-American dollar in the fashion and beauty industry is real: 1 trillon real and growing. It’s time to use our voice and demand that brands cultivate diverse products.

Damaris Lewis has one of those faces you never forget. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, the 23-year-old model has stamped her beauty on the 2009, 2010, and 2011 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues. Lewis is well trained in performing arts, has appeared in the music video for Kanye West’s single “Monster” and was selected by Prince to be his muse and dancer during his Welcome 2 Australia Tour 2012 with The New Power Generation.
Arlenis Sosa Peña is a 24-year-old Dominican fashion model who went from battling the color prejudice of designers in the Dominican Republic to representing the most prestigious designers and fashion houses in the world. She is the current spokesmodel for Lancôme. She also appeared in the 2008 Victoria’s Secret fashion show. Arlenis is proud of her black heritage and has said: “We Dominicans should value the things we have principally our beauty, our country is black, not blond and blue-eyed.”
Thanks for including me on this list. I'm honored. : )
I saw you once on 6th Ave…I did a "double take…!!!"
I saw Kenisha's pic and remarked about the quality of the photography…. I agree that your credits should have been included!!
Wow a Trini made it on this list. Big up for Kenisha Thom!!!
Correction……Kenia Martinez is the 3rd black woman to win the Miss Universe Title…….Janelle Penny Commissiong & Wendy Fitzwilliam were 1st and 2nd respectively…..both from Trinidad & Tobago……
Sunil…it's tough to not notice when Mark mentions it in the first sentence of his status.

wendy is not only beautiful inside but outside also, she is actually the most beautiful woman in the world 4ft of leg and an absolutely stunning face. the model of this century
Correction again…..Kenia Martinez was 4th…..Miss Botswana Mpule Kwelagobe was the 3rd black woman
Where's Aboriginal Australia? [-0-]
HEY sis, maybe they think black people are only from Africa…
This may be true brotha – time to educate the black people about global black methinks
2 from UK, England, Ghana but 0 from here. Spread the global love around I say…Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Mauritius, Seychelles, Reunion Island, Madagascar, Comoros and so on and so on.
I may add that Nigerian model, Agbani Darego is also the first black woman to be crowned Miss World in 2001
Another correction, I don't really watch Miss Universe, but I do kno this, 4 Black Women/Women of Afrikan Decent hav Won "The Miss Universe":Janelle Commissiong (T & T 1977), Wendy Fitzwilliam (T & T 1998), Mpule Kwelagobe ( Gaborone, Botswana 1999) & Leila Lopes (Angola 2011)!
Definitely beautiful women. I just wish we could have seen pictures of them in their natural state, minus the make up and fake eye-lashes.
This is wonderful. Folks like you feed my fb addiction!! (thanx)
Congrats to Kenia Martinez, Crown Ms Universe of Honduras. God's Speed in your future aspirations and endeavors. You are an excellent 'Role Model' for young people. Be Blessed
Read this article in the Atlanta Black star were Iman and Naomi Campbell speak out about the lack of dark skinned models being presented in the media and put on the runways… Do you think this is one of the reasons why people are bleaching their skin?…dark skinned people are hardly anywhere to be see in the world of fashion arts and entertainment!!!….Do dark skinned people have less to identify with?
Sam Cook if there's only 20 how could the love be spread around?
All lovely ladies no doubt! However, since you have one that is from India, how did she become black as opposed to Asian? I guess 19 out of 20 is OK LOL
Kenisha,,,my Cuz..of course a realbeauty ,,bless her
Thank you Mark… Your eye is the keenest… Indeed, Kenisha is one of the most beautiful under the gaze of the heavens! What a rare moment caught by you! Congratulations!
They got it right! YOU are stunning beautiful! : )
Roger Baptiste Wendy wasnt 2nd she was third . Chesea smith from U.s was 2nd. Trinidad and Tobago should feel very proud out of the five we have two including the first.
i just hate when they write things like "Most Beautiful Black Women" though…can't people just write 20 of the most beautiful women around the world and they all be black?

External looks are just a wrapper. True beauty comes from within
I don't know if the original text was changed…..but it says "Kenia Martinez, 26, was crowned Miss Universe HONDURAS 2010 and is the second black woman to win the title"…..which means she was the second black woman to win the miss universe honduras title….the local leg of the competition
Danielle ☥ Toppin …yes..crossed my mind..I just lacked the skills to Hack this site!
Roger Baptiste I don't think you read the article correctly. It said she was the 2nd black woman to win Miss Universe Honduras not Miss Universe.;-) In other words she was the 2nd black woman IN Honduras to win the title.

And their goals are…world peace. *rolls eyes* How lovely how all of them are models.
Scoured the world and could not come up with a single beautiful black woman who like…had a career not solely based on her looks?
Dark skin equals black…how else could she get that way? We're global… Putting myself on the list

Out of the 20 women I must agree that about 6 are really beautiful including Kenisha Thom . Credits should only be given to the Makeup Artist for the others.
The title of this article should be "20 of the Most Stunningly Beautiful Women From Around The World".
Julie Williams You ARE beautiful. Thanks for the scenery, NUFF Said!!!

Black women are God's truly BEAUTIFUL creations or for those who prefer EVELUTION.
Absolutely heart stopping GORGEOUS!!
These women are lovely looking , but I think you should have included the stunning looking black Saudi Arabian pop star waed
what about the lady that won Miss World some years back from nigeria
Agbani my brother,she deserve to be here.
Am happy that there's a ugandan on this long list of models.
Beautiful women indeed every one of them.
the only unattractive one is Rissikat Bade. But I wonder what percentage of these "black" women are actually biracial.
So black women with the least traditional black features are the "most beautiful"??? such a message coming from a so-called black magazine. The more things change the more they remain the same. Of course you can be as dark as you want to be, as long as your features appear "mixed-race", be it with Indian, Chinese, white, whatever…..
You fail to realize that if you travel throughout the entire continent of Africa and meet all the different type of indigenous people living there…you will find every single "physical feature" known. Wide noses, pointy noses, large eyes, small eyes, coiled hair, naturally wavy hair, dark brown skin, light brown skin, etc are all found on different types of indigenous african people…don't let the european classification of things fool you. I can show you an african man with skin that is virtually the color black with a nose as pointy as any Nordic man. Don't forget Africans are genetically more diverse than the rest of the world combined.
When has a competition or magazine/tv/online feature highlighting the most beautiful women, ever shown the women in their "natural state" I've never seen that. And for the ones wearing make-up, for majority if not all of them the noticeable make-up worn does nothing to enhance their beauty and if anything detracts from it. I see the natural beauty of all of them, which can not be said for many of Hollywood's Darlings whose beauty is directly correlated to how much make-up they have on.
This list is official. However, I would suggest you see http://ConfidenceLives.Tumblr.com to see a more complete list.
…are we looking at the same women? I was thinking the exact opposite. I guess this just goes to show that "tradition" is relative.
Black Women are the most Beautiful Women In the Whole Wide World!!!
I am a white guy, but Veronique Boubane is the most beautiful Miss Everything, wow, you go girl! I am absolutely awed by her beauty:)
Joelle Kayembe is an absolute Goddess:)))
Lydia Marsha and Joelle Kayembe are the epitome of Beauty!
This doesn't sound well searched and studied before posting it here ! First of all where is The Famous Liya Kebede ( the first African ever to be on the cover of vogue before anyone else , and also she is the spokesperson for united nation ) I believe she is from East Africa . And Also the first Immigrant Non-Israel , African woman who won Miss-Israel in 2013. and She is also studying law and one of the most influential person in Europe. So I would say dig it well !!!!
Did you notice the one thing they have in common, besides God's g
