7 Beauty Box Subscriptions Designed For WOC

Store aisles have expanded to include more products that cater to more people, but the need for beauty box subscriptions for women of color is still essential. Kicking your beauty routine into high gear can be the ultimate struggle, and finding a spot-on foundation shade or the perfect natural hair product can be difficult. With beauty subscription services curated specifically for WOC, testing out a range of products that can actually work for us is a dream come true.

Beauty boxes based on customer preferences have made it easier than ever to try loads of hair, skin, and makeup products without having to commit to full-sized bottles. Often at low to moderate price points, figuring out what works best for you has never been easier.

With samples of hair products for WOC and beauty essentials from black owned makeup brands and more, these subscriptions are a must-have for brown babes.
