I remember my mother using a variety of different Fashion Fair when I was a girl. My first lip stick as a young lady was by Fashion Fair. Fashion Fair has been a staple cosmetics line in the Black community for many years. Needless-to-say, Eunice Johnson is a pioneer in the cosmetics industry.
Let’s put it this way: Fashion Fair walked so Black Opal and Iman Cosmetics could run. Fashion Fair was THE brand for Black women, especially designers and models, in the ‘70s.
It was founded by Eunice Johnson and her husband John H. Johnson in 1973 with a focus on cosmetics for women of color, particularly Black Women. After the brand’s unsurprising success, other mainstream makeup brands at the time like Revlon and Max Factor began to expand their shade range.
As a continued supporter of Black women, she went on to create the Ebony Fashion Fair, a nation-wide tour that showed couture and ready-to-wear clothes for a Black audience.
Have you used Fashion Fair products? If so, what's your favorite product?
