.JustineSkye is over makeup artists who can’t work with her skin tone.
As a singer, a model and the founder of Metix, an app connecting users to makeup master classes, Justine Skye has a close relationship with beauty. “Being a female artist, you’re constantly getting glam done for events,” Skye tells StyleCaster at the launch of Candy Crush Friends Saga in New York. “And growing up, as a girl, you’re always playing with makeup.”
But not all of Skye’s experiences with beauty were positive. As a dark-skinned woman, Skye often didn’t see her shade represented in beauty and fashion. “I definitely, 1000-thousand percent struggled with finding my shade,” Skye says. “The kids today have it so easy when it comes to everything—whether it’s makeup, whether it’s clothing, underwear, bras. Finding your shade, so it doesn’t show through your clothes.

Still, she does see a change in the beauty industry becoming more educated and catering to more diverse women. “Times are changing. Hairstyles are changing. More colors are being acceptable,” Skye says.
