**BEHIND THE BRUSH**
Growing up in Dayton, Ohio, I developed a deep passion for beauty. I often found buying palette after palette, only to stick with the same few colors repeatedly. Craving more creativity, I decided to make my own eyeshadows and discovered my application skills were amazing! That’s when I thought to myself, “What do you want?” and the answer was clear: “Let’s start a business!” Thus, Blaque Beauty was born.
Many wonder about the name Blaque Beauty and its significance to me. Growing up in suburbia, I often felt out of place, and my skin tone became the target of countless jokes. It wasn't until I became a mother at 18 that I truly learned to embrace, realizing that my blackness is my greatest asset. My Blackness makes me uniquely beautiful, and from that realization, my passion for Blaque Beauty blossomed.
Blaque Beauty offers a premier line of customized eyeshadows, lashes, and more! Enjoy browsing the site, and welcome to the Blaque Beauty Experience.
