However, keeping in mind that we didn’t all wake up like this “flawless,” BlackDoctor.org recently sat down with cosmetics mogul Vera Moore and her daughter Consuella Helms Jeune, a licensed esthetician and National Training Director of Vera Moore Cosmetics, who dished a little guidance for those looking to turn heads.

Immediately, she was faced with a harsh reality — makeup options available to performers of color were slim.
