Glam Africa: The Revolutionary Edition (2019)
2019 has been a special year for so many reasons, and Glam Africa is bringing the year - and the decade - to a close with our most ambitious edition ever: The Revolutionary Edition. In this edition, the reality TV phenomenon is front-and-centre, with Love Island star Ovie Soko joining us for his first ever cover shoot, as well as a fashion cover featuring Big Brother Naija and Dancing on Ice stars, power couple Mike and Perri Edwards. To pull off this one-of-a-kind issue, we said sayonara to our in-house editorial team (temporarily) and enlisted a diverse group of talented, young content creators for our first ever ‘digital takeover’, which sees online personalities including bloggers, presenters and YouTubers adapting their digital expertise for print media. Very few publications can boast such a diverse range of content, and whatever it is you're looking for, GA has got you covered. We might as well have called this ‘The Egalitarian Issue’, because there really is something for everyone.

MAKEUP
We’ve all heard of the amazing makeup lines like Fenty Beauty
and Iman Cosmetics, but these are not the only black-owned
beauty brands out there. Here are 3 young makeup brands that
you should consider the next time you refresh your makeup bag.
Uoma Beauty
Founded by Nigerian-born, former beauty
executive Sharon Chuter, Uoma Beauty is a
breath of fresh air within the ever-evolving beauty
scene. The brand burst onto the scene only eight
months ago in April 2019 and has already been
spotted in the makeup bags and on the faces of
all our fave queens such as Tamar Braxton, Ciara
and Keke Palmer. The brand has been praised
for its foundations not only having a large shade
range (stocking a massive 51 shades), but also
infusing its foundations with skincare benefits. The
brand recognizes that different skin complexions
come with different skin needs. For example,
the darker shades have built-in components for
hyperpigmentation and the lighter shades have
elements to combat hypersensitivity, giving those
of us who still haven’t developed a skincare
routine a helping hand (don’t judge us please).
The brand’s ethos is based on uplifting women,
instructing women to ‘never apologise for being
the sh*t’, and frankly, we are here for it.
