There’s been a wave of international influence on the American beauty market in the last few years. From K-beauty skin care to French-girl makeup, brands from all over the world have been appearing in our favorite U.S. stores, consuming our Instagram feeds, and inspiring new beauty trends. And as unique beauty communities get more attention in the beauty aisle, we’re seeing an uptick in brands owned by Latinx men and women.

The Latinx community prides itself in having a strong connection to la belleza. And it has given birth to some of the most talented makeup and hair artists and created some of the best beauty hacks. But before now, the Latinx consumer hasn’t been fully represented in the beauty space — whether it be in foundation shades or curly hair products — which is why some entrepreneurs took it upon themselves to create new brands that speak directly to their specific needs and culture.

In 2018, the Latinx consumer is finally getting some much-needed time in the spotlight. From curly hair products to fragrances inspired by Mexico, these are the Latinx-owned beauty brands you should support right now.

You can take a perfumer out of Mexico City, but you can’t take Mexico City out of the perfumer. Master perfumer Rodrio Flores-Roux’s newest perfume is an ode to his native Mexico — not just with a Spanish name but with the citrus and floral notes, a combination that he finds to be as vibrant as the colorful city he was born in.

Mia Del Mar is a brand that aims to change the “lack of authentic representation for Latinas in the American beauty mainstream,” according to the brand website.

Right now, the brand only has one product: a night cream that comes in gorgeous lavender packaging and has hydrating ingredients that will give you smooth skin by morning.

Former talk show host Bianca De La Garza knows a lot about makeup and skin care (thanks to hours sitting in a makeup chair before going on air). Now, she has her own beauty brand called BDG Beauty. The only product is the serum that follows her mission of “skin care meets makeup.” It’s got a slight tint for coverage (with three shade options), leaves skin with a glowing finish, and fights hyperpigmentation.
