And remember: Healthy Eating is the key to a happy, healthy, future.. by Carla D. Johnson Amber Hues Cosmetics, the natural looking cosmetic line especially designed with women of color in mind, was founded during the mid 1970’s by Mr. and Mrs. Ron White of Dallas, Texas. Mrs. Rita White conducted a comparative analysis study of a cross section of women of color. She analyzed skin types, and shades of Black women, Hispanic women, Oriental women, and other women of color. She asked them about the makeup they were using and how it met their skin care needs. Most of the women had color conflicts with their makeup giving them an ashy look, or the makeup had a heavy oil base which clogged their pores and left them with skin disorders, or the makeup came off on their hands and clothes when they touched their faces. These particular problems were found in all makeup lines, even those that are designed with Black women in mind. Mrs. White, after analysing her data, founded the "first cosmetic line that caters to women of color.” Amber Hues Cosmetics products are designed to cleanse, tone, and moisturize gently, yet thoroughly. The cleanser is a deep pore cleanser that does not contain alcohol which is a harsh drying agent. The facial mask pulls impurities from the skin, removes dead cells, and revitalizes skin in general. The freshener toner removes residuals that the mask might leave behind, and closes facial pores. The last and most important step in the skin care regimen is the moisturizer. The moisturizer is milk based. It protects the skin from at mospheric impurities while con ditioning the skin at the same time. This fabulous Skin Care Regimen is not all the Amber Hues Cosmetic line has to offer us. Amber Hues Liquid makeup is water based and fragrance free. It is specially formulated with a yellow base so that it blends well with the skin tones of women of color. This complimentary com bination adds for a natural looking skin color. The eye, cheek , lip and nail colours were designed to compliment olive and yellow skintones, and other earthy shades. By now, I'm sure that you are wondering where you can obtain Amber Hues.
