16 Black Muslim Beauty Bloggers You Need to Follow on Instagram
Over the past year, the beauty industry has been proactive about representing more Muslim women. Nura Afia was named a CoverGirl. Orly created a collection of halal-certified nail products with Muslim Girl. While these are praise-worthy steps forward, one group that has been woefully underrepresented are black Muslims. Halima Aden may have starred in Fenty Beauty's launch campaign, but there is still so much work to be done.
This has been a major topic of conversation in the modest fashion and beauty blogging communities, especially following the recent Dubai Modest Fashion Week. London-based beauty influencer Manal Chinutay lamented about both the lack of women of color she saw while attending DMFW and colorism within the Muslim community.
"I myself was the only black woman to be flown out and participate out of MANY beautiful influential black women," she wrote on Instagram. "Whilst there, I've had our sisters (WOC who live in Dubai and purchased tickets) come up to me at the event and ask me what was very apparent . . . 'Where are all the other black bloggers/influencers?'"
Najwa Umran (aka @poelitical on Instagram) was similarly frustrated and decided to start a hashtag, #BlackMuslimahExcellence, to encourage people to uplift black Muslim bloggers. "F*ck waiting on validation from outside in when we can support our sisters from the inside out," she proposed on Instagram. Thousands of people started tagging and posting photos of black bloggers in response. Many of them were makeup artists and enthusiasts.
