“For women... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.” Gloria Steinem

Real Beauty
Name: Wande Alugo
Tell us a bit about yourself. Who is Wande and how did Wande's World start?
Wande is a young girl who adores beauty, and empowering women to help benefit their lives. At the moment I am currently in University so I am working on my own life lol.
Wande's World started out as a venture, and I was constantly being asked about beauty products, and at times I could spend hours on the phone, twitter, facebook, explaining what's good, and what's not.
So to save myself time I decided to write a blog on what's hot and what's not in beauty.
In your opinion, are black women well represented in the beauty industry?
They are not represented at all, but what some brands do is that they try to perhaps use one woman of colour in a campaign and think the problem is solved eg. Vogue's Issue on black women.
However as Women of Colour when entering the Beauty Industry, in fact any competitive industry you always have to work 10 times harder.
What do you think is the most beautiful thing about being a Black woman?
The beautiful thing about being a woman of colour is that we do not age, till today I get shocked when people tell me their age.
Although we do need sun cream, yes I have said it Women of Colour need sun cream!!!!!! We do not need tons and tons like other races may!!
As I always say Black is Beautiful!!
Any beauty tips you'd like to leave us with?
Always use eye cream; it helps to define eyes, reduces circles, and for me personally your eyeshadow or any eye make up for that matter will POP!!!
