FF COSMETICS

Fashion Fair Cosmetics was founded by Eunice Johnson of Ebony and Jet magazines (Johnson Publishing Company) after she recognized a gap in the beauty industry. While working with European fashion houses like Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and Givenchy, she saw the need for cosmetics catering to Black women and women of color. After facing repeated rejection from American beauty brands, she took matters into her own hands—hiring a dermatologist and launching the first Black-owned, female-owned makeup brand in the U.S. Today, Fashion Fair’s legacy continues under the leadership of Desiree Rogers and Cheryl Mayberry McKissack and is available at Sephora.
