Based in Melbourne, All Shades Matter Cosmetics have recently launched The MATTERfying Foundation (AUD $34.99) which comes in 4 distinct shades for people of colour. Made in Sydney, Australia, utilising local ingredients, its weightless mousse-like texture provides a natural ‘no makeup makeup’ look and has the ability to create buildable coverage perfectly for your desired finish. It’s also transfer-proof and infused with a light vanilla and coconut scent.
Founded by Tali and Shaanti, All Shades Matter Cosmetics is built on the notion of supplying affordable, simple and polished everyday foundation that caters for people of colour. They are both adopted from India and struggled to colour match makeup products in Australia. They are striving to close the gap between makeup shades, eliminating the need to ‘colour mix’ or find the ‘ideal’ shade. At All Shades Matter Cosmetics, the message is to positively change the beauty industry within Australia and the movement of shade variety and diversity. Believing this is not just confined to their skin tone, all shades matter to them and they aim to expand their range towards the Caucasian market. Available now from asmcosmetics
