As Americans protest against racial injustice since the tragic death of George Floyd, beauty brands are joining the online movement and showing support by sharing posts on social media with the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter.   

Many are also taking part in #BlackoutTuesday online on June 2 – with posts about racial equality flooding social news feeds. A few are featured in the slideshow above.

The beauty industry is showing solidarity, as MAC’s post literally says. Brands are also promoting black-owned beauty brands. Allure just posted, 24 Black-Owned Beauty Brands to Support Now and Always

Update: The most comprehensive list of black-owned beauty brands is featured here in the News story: Calling Attention to Black-Owned Beauty Brands

Beauty brands are also spreading the word about donations they have made to various organizations, including the NAACP and Black Lives Matter. Some are finding clever ways to illustrate diversity and inclusion with graphics featuring various shades of foundation makeup. 

See the slideshow above, which shows the messages that some beauty brands are posting on social media about racial equality — and the organizations each chose to support.
