This year, UOMA Beauty is turning four years as a brand and it is celebrating this milestone with a colorful beauty campaign. Dubbed 'We See You,' the initiative celebrates "everyone's truth and authentic self"—a sentiment the brand mirrors with its highly inclusive range of makeup products. According to Sharon Chuter, the brand's founder, "the first step to being authentic and living true to yourself is self-love. You have to love yourself enough to be okay to show up to the world exactly as you are."
UOMA Beauty is definitely a pioneer in its category and is considered the "first 'Afropolitan' makeup brand [to take] the industry by storm." The colorful beauty campaign reflects that and in addition to its beautiful message, it enlists models like Jasmine Sanders and Leomie Anderson.
