Shanthi Couldn't Buy Foundation For Her Skin Tone, So She Decided To Do Something

Growing up, Shanthi Murugan remembers not being able to find a foundation that suited her skin tone, and the feelings that came with that. As Shanthi says, makeup should make you feel good. It shouldn't make you feel excluded or invisible. So, when Shanthi started working at Adore Beauty, she decided to do something about it. 

She emailed Adore's founder Kate Morris and pitched her the Global Shades project, a four-year-long project calling for inclusivity in the beauty industry through acquiring all globally available complexion shades.

And now, they're making it happen.

Shanthi joins Shazzy to talk about it now.

The list of products mentioned in this episode are below:

• Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation
• M.A.C Cosmetics Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 Foundation
• Bobbi Brown Skin Weightless Long-Wear Foundation
• Giorgio Armani Power Fabric Concealer
• L'Oreal Infallible More Than Concealer
