Iman Cosmetics: Iman, daughter of a Somalian diplomat, might be called the Estee Lauder
for women of color. Iman distributes her cosmetics in 700 shops in the USA. Now living in London and married to David Bowie, she's rated among the 5 most beautiful women in the world.
Iman opened a shop in London and South Africa
in 1998. Her products are for women of many races; Asian, Black, Hispanics and Arabs. Iman says that Metis are in fashion
and provides products for them. Colored women were always ready to invest in cosmetics, a sector of rapid expansion. What's
termed minorities, represents the majority of world population.
In
the USA, fifty percent of the public will
soon be colored, which represents a gigantic purchasing power. We have to tell to the black women that they are beautiful.
I am against products which clear the skin. Colored women sometimes use chemical products and damage their skin.
Those products should be controlled by professional dermatologists.
