It also makes me think about how 16-year-old me would feel reading it – looking through the book while wearing pink-based foundation, straightened hair, with very little self-esteem, and finding products that would actually suit me.

The highly respected Nigerian British beauty editor began her career as a freelance fashion writer, and is now in a position and a columnist for UK paper , Funmi previously spent years working at British , and recently released her book, speaking to those who have largely been left out by the industry.
