Meet Tomi Gbeleyi, the 27-year-old founder of Makeup For Melanin Girls. Winning headlines in Glamour Magazine, and Buzzfeed, MFMG Cosmetics was born out of a beauty blog that blossomed into a 170,000-strong online community, filling a void for women of colour. Just a year and a half in, the direct-to-consumer makeup line recently earned investment capital from the New Voices Fund \u2013 a Unilever-backed initiative designed to support Women of Color entrepreneurs.

Tomi was driven to develop her line of beauty products at the behest of her loyal following. The best-selling liquid lipsticks boast \u201cnudes\u201d and \u201cflesh\u201d tones for every skin hue \u2013 and they haven\u2019t gone unnoticed in Hollywood either. This fall, MFMG will enter the foundation category, with shades currently in development using never-before-used technology - which shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise given her first life working as a woman in tech.
