Here's what Marsha Page, aka The Melanin Therapist had to share about getting that "no makeup, make-up look".

Q:  

What does a woman of color need to get a glowing, “no makeup, makeup” look?

Marsha Page, aka The Melanin Therapist:  

In order to achieve a glowing “no makeup” look, I recommend starting with a gentle exfoliator to remove any dry or flaky skin, a great daytime moisturizer (with SPF), and a lightweight, medium coverage, liquid foundation. I would also opt for a cream-based highlighter or bronzer to complete the look.

Q:  

Have you tried buttah? It’s skincare created by an African American man? 


TMT: 

I am familiar with the line “Buttah” but have not used it on any of my clients yet.

Q: 

What’s the truth about sunscreen?


TMT: The truth about sunscreen is no matter what skin type or tone you have, sunscreen should be a part of your daily skincare routine. Everyone needs it and can benefit from it. I recommend always using SPF 30 or higher. It’s also great to find a foundation or BB Cream with SPF in its formulation.
