11 Incredible Tutorials From The B.O.M.B Challenge

There always seems to be some sort of makeup challenge floating making its way around YouTube. As of yet, I haven't been brave enough to test my skills in the challenge arena, but the B.O.M.B makeup challenge — otherwise known as the Black Owned Makeup Brands challenge — is definitely one I can get behind.

Started by beauty vlogger Jackie Aina, the B.O.M.B makeup challenge asks beauty mavens to exclusively use black-owned makeup brands to create a unique look. In her YouTube video for the challenge Aina challenges both black and non-black YouTubers to try the challenge out. "The reason I'm asking that is because we use beauty brands that were originated from non-black people all the time," she said in her video. "It just doesn't make sense that people shy away from beauty brands because they're black-owned."

It's true: The only way to grow black folks' presence is beauty is to support the brands they create, and luckily, much of beauty YouTube seems to agree. Jackie's call to action has inspired other YouTuber to try the challenge out on their channels as well. These are the 11 best tutorials that resulted from the B.O.M.B. challenge — the looks this challenge inspired are truly amazing.
