FASHION FAIR IS BACK, GIRL! | *GRWM* TRYING FASHION FAIR FOR THE FIRST TIME! | Andrea Renee

[@AndreaRenee00]

Happy Friday!! How many of you wore Fashion Fair back in the day?!😍

[@KLove7557]

I did! Foundation-Brown Blaze Glo, for the lip I wore Chocolate Raspberry or Magenta Mist! I am tickled pink that FF is BACK!!!!! The packaging used to be bubblegum pink.

[@vanitybymari]

I was too young but my mama did before she went to Mary Kay

[@chipsnana6852]

My favorite lipstick was chocolate raspberry and their creme to powder foundation was great

[@salsasoul4112]

I did my Junior and Senior years of High School from 1992 to 1994. I'm a lipstick girl. Was never a full face makeup siren. I remember having to ask my Mother of I could wear lipstick. Lol! I wore a beautiful wine colored lipstick. Don't remember the name. I also used to wear their body oil. Maaaaaaaaaan, listen. I'm so happy they're back ❤

[@426adina]

I had my favorite lipstick made by them glad they are back so I can get it again. My mom will be happy too she can get the lipstick she loves by them as well this is exciting and nostalgic

[@staceythorpe168]

Ok so I’m really telling my age here. But I wore Fashion Fair for years, starting as a teenager, we’re talking the 80s. I remember as a teenager saving up my money to get makeup items at the Fashion Fair counter at the mall. Back then FF was one of the few makeup brands for WOC. It use to come in their iconic pink packaging. I use to use the soufflé which was a cream foundation that came in a jar with a little spatula which you used to scoop out the foundation. I think my shade was Bronze. It gave such beautiful flawless coverage. I would love to see how much they have reformulated the products. The only downside back then was that the foundation transferred pretty bad but the color selection was awesome. They use to give free makeup with purchase which was right up my alley because I definitely couldn’t afford a full collection of FF back then. This brings back so many memories of my first experience with makeup as a young teen. I will definitely be bringing this back into my makeup collection. I just hope they will continue to be innovative and allow themselves to compete in today’s makeup industry. They really were a superior brand back in the day.

[@Kittyhammertoe100]

My favorite lipstick in the 80's was Chocolate Raspberry. I loved the way their lippies smelled.

[@aprilshorty4094]

Me, too. Fashion Fair was my first beauty purchase at the department store. I had just graduated from High School. I had my first job and could buy my own things. It brings back memories.

[@joyceholmes9181]

Yes Ms Stacey I too am telling my age here. I started wearing FF in the late 70's when I was in college. I remember when the Ebony Fashion Show would come to town the department stores that carried FF would have free samples of FF when you made a purchase. Oh I loved me some FF.

Black History moment in Makeup: I was 13 and attended several Fashion Fair shows. Eunice Johnson created the Fashion Fair makeup line for her models. It was high-end, so it sold in Woodworth and Lothrops and Hechts (y'all remember those?) in September 1973. After her passing, her daughter was forced to sell. I'm so thankful to Desiree Rogers (she also owns Black Opal) and Cheryl Mayberry McKissack for buying it back (August 2021) and being it back to the states and taking it back in to Black ownership! I know they will be producing a full line with concealer and everything like before. It was such a beautiful line including skincare. Bravo to these ladies. Much love and blessings.🖤💋🤎🕊🥰🙏

[@AndSoBeneathItAll]

Girrrl, I screamed this to my husband when I saw it on Sephora’s app 😂 I’m so happy to see the OG Fashion Fair glow up & jump back in the game.

[@iamyolandamoore]

I went and bought everything they had in my Sephora!!! This was the first makeup line I wore. My sister took me and bought me everything and I loved it even though it made me look red as a beet you couldn’t tell me NOTHING!! I was so excited to see THIS brand back because of what it meant to women of color particularly black Women!! ❤️

Hey ladies…..question has anyone else tried it since it came back? I want to know if it oxidizes like it did back in the day. I don’t to be walking around looking orange. 🤣😆

@@sweetbaby00000000 I had to return the pressed powder because it was red and I tried three shades in my range but the stick foundation is on point!! That was the issue back in the day it made u either look red or orange 😂😂😂 I bought three of the lipsticks. I’m just so happy they’re back ❤️

[@jrmetmoi]

Nope I hated the red as a beet or orange as a tangerine look. I didn’t buy any Fashion Fair Cosmetics until they came out with the foundation shade called Butterscotch which had yellow undertones which they took forever to come out with because they created that shade ten years ago.

[@VANITYISFARE]

@@sweetbaby00000000 i think the colors are great ! I have both the pressed powder and cream to powder and they dont look orange or red on me! Id go in store so they can match you

[@michellehill6166]

Fashion Fair was my first beauty purchase from the department store. The history of Fashion Fair makes its comeback extra special for me. It’s from The makers of Ebony Magazine. It’s one of the first makeup brands made for black women. Well before the major luxury brands added darker shades in their collections. Ebony Fashion Fair was also a place for black models. It held fashion shows all over the country showcasing black models and black designers in addition the other well-known designers. Fashion Fair has its place in black fashion and beauty history. I’ll definitely try the new products.

[@eboneewinston6078]

Chile I’m so here for it! The pressed powder was my favorite in high school. I wore it like foundation with the Chocolate Raspberry lipstick. And I was a cheerleader too, couldn’t tell me I wasn’t fine!! 😂

I'm in my 60's, there I told my age and proud of it. Another one of my favorites the Translucent Press Powder 'Koke-Kola' I'm sure I did not spell it correctly, it was a game changer. I can go on and on.

[@karamelbuttafly3624]

Yasss! Come through with the Fashion Fair review. Fun Facts: Fashion Fair, black owned, launched in 1973 catering to the beauty needs of women of color long before Mac or some old brands like, Estee Lauder and Clinique expanded their shade range. Macy's and Belk department stores was the spot. My mom wore it on Sundays (church) only. 🤣🤣 She purchased it once but eventually stop wearing it.. I remember the Iconic Chocolate Raspberry lipstick. I definitely want to try it. 💄

[@Lisabeeme15]

I played in my grandmother’s Fashion Fair as a child. It was my introduction to make up. I just saw they brought the Chocolate Raspberry lipstick back which was my grandmother’s favorite, and probably one of the very first lipsticks I ever bought. I know I’m going to buy it just for the nostalgia.

[@salsasoul4112]

Fashion Fair is awesome! The only makeup line back in the day that had colors for dark skin girls. I loved their Body Oil Spray. Hope that's back. Your finished look is beautiful. Great job 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤❤❤

[@cherrishpryor7568]

I remember Fashion Fair. Their packaging was pink. It was even sold in Macy’s at one point and I also remember being little and seeing it in my local drug store, which was Black owned. That might have been before they were at their high point. They had beautiful lip stick colors. They also had perfume. I even remember they would have the Fashion Fair Fashion Show which was a big event. I never went, but wanted to. I hate they left, but I am glad they are back. And I love the face. Fashion Fair showed out. I will be getting some and letting my mom know they are back.

[@damitalashea3546]

When you said Fashion Fair is back, I hollered Yaaaaas!!! I was 16 in 1992 at a store called "PERSIANS" and had my face made up with Fashion Fair for the 1st time. The Makeup artist then deserve so much more respect. Alot people don't know that Fashion Fair & Iman WHERE THE BLACK MAKEUP LINES before Black makeup was as popular as is today. Honey, Fashion Fair had a Lipstick that I PRAYER TO GOD they brought back call "Chocolate Raspberry". It was THE MOST BEAUTIFUL Iced Plum color on dark skinned, LAAAAWD😁🥰. I'm being extra with excitement but this news made my heart smile. No shade to the newbies of Today but Fashion Fair is The Grand Dom of Black makeup, Periodt!!!

[@debrasplace8658]

Fashion Fair use to be my top brand back in the day! I started wearing the foundation at the age 15, it was my first foundation. I am 59 now! Lol.. Thanks for the review

[@pinkivy20]

FF is looking great. Back in the day, Chocolate Raisin was my favorite lipstick color. The foundation color looks very good. Previously, their foundation had extremely red undertones that didn’t match me well. The new FF has more golden undertone options. I purchased the Chocolate Raspberry lipstick from Sephora and the formula is even better than I remembered. I believe the Chocolate Raspberry was their most popular shade. I would love to see a swatch video. Before Mac Cosmetics, Fashion Fair was the only makeup brand with shades for deeper toned skin.

[@mariaddubkg531]

Come on back Fashion Fair! The original triple OG of makeup for women of color back in the day. If their formulas are still good I definitely will be glad to see them back in my makeup bag! Thanks for reviewing this brand Andrea!!❤️

[@ekeshafrancois]

GIRL!!!!! I was in Sephora a couple of weeks ago browsing the aisles. When I saw the Fashion Fair display was under construction… I 👏🏾 WAS 👏🏾 SHOOK 👏🏾. I immediately snapped a pic and sent it to my friend like, “Girl! Fashion Fair is making a comeback!!!” Like so many ladies in the comments, my first “high-end” make-up purchase was Fashion Fair. That Chocolate Raspberry lippie and nail polish was a higher quality version of Wet n Wild’s Purple Passion. I had my makeovers done for prom at the FF counter, too. At that time I was not into complexion products, so I cannot wait to try them now. Thanks, Andrea, for the review and first reaction… my next Sephora purchase will definitely be from the FF brand. Now, if they bring back the FF fashion shows 👏🏾💃🏾🤎

[@kelahbrown1677]

Fashion Fair was the only make up brand I wore as a teenager thru my early twenties. I’m very curious to see if the formula has changed. The only downside back then was that the foundation would transfer very easily.

[@cocoaeve9054]

This brings back memories of when I first fell in love with makeup. FF had a lipstick called Chocolate Raspberry... I wore this all the time. LOL. Back in the day I could not where the foundation - I have a yellow undertone and FF made me look like an orange pumpkin. I am definitely going to pick up the foundation stick. Thanks for doing this video 🥰

[@denisebose1351]

If you had put one more "day" on that age description..... Girl... I was gonna have something to say! 😂😂😂😂 Especially since Fashion Fair was my introduction to makeup along with attending the iconic Ebony Fashion Show... Soooo... Yes... No surprises here. Fashion Fair is and has always been without a doubt the OG makeup brand for us brown girls. We simply were lured away. Glad they're back. Thanks for shining a light. Ready to support them again.

[@jjss5076]

They were an excellent quality makeup for brown girls when there were no options in drugstores and department store brands had little to no options as well.

[@carolyndavis5373]

Yessss! I used to use Fashion Fair back in the day. The packaging was pink, so that has changed. Also, it was mostly oil based. So you had to have powder with you if you had oily skin. Formula has definitely changed. The foundation was sort of thick, not buttery at all... LOL. Eyeshadows & lipsticks were pretty. One of the popular lipstick in the 80s, was chocolate raspberry. A fuchsia color. I’m excited to try it again.

[@Kittyhammertoe100]

Omg. I just said Chocolate Raspberry was my all time fav!

[@jrmetmoi]

I don’t like Chocolate Raspberry but I do like Tropic Pink and Magenta Mist.

AAAAAHHHHH💃🏽💃🏽 I'm 37 and I...LOOOOVE... FASHION...FAIR! It was a sad day when they left the Macy's. When I walked in Sephora yesterday I missed it because I went with Makeup For Ever. However, when I went in there today (to tell the sales associate that I am COMPLETELY HAPPY AND SATISFIED with the foundation)...I glanced around and saw the Fashion Fair section. I was like a child having a fit/fanning out as if I'd seen my favorite singer (Whitney Houston)😄😉 They were not completely stocked with all products so I'll go back and get my favorite blush in Chocolate Chip when it's in stock and I'll try a foundation.

Over the years, it began harder and harder to acquire their products so I began using other product lines. I used to go to their fashion shows. I got my first matte lipstick 💄 from FF. The last FF products I used was their golden highlighter and their bronzers. I bought the line from Macy’s and Dillard’s. I am so glad to hear that Fashion Fair is back in action!

I'm 70 yo and wore FF back in the day when selections for WOC werr very limited and b4 MAC or Visage came on the scene. FF was in pink packaging and offered liquid and cream to powder foundation and all the accompanying makeup. There were also skin care products. As white companies recognized how much money WOC spent on makeup, FF sort of fell by the wayside. Flori Roberts was another company which targeted WOC. I'm glad to see FF's revival and will probably go in store to check it out since Sephora is having a 20% off sale on foundations until 9/20. I have to say your makeup looked fabulous so I'll be excited to give FF another try after not using for over 2 decades.

I'm 63 and I wore FF until they stopped making the products. My Auntie started using FF when it 1st came out. She was asked to be a plus-sized model when she was shopping in Lane Bryant. My Aunt Cynthia was gorgeous! She taught me everything about make-up and FF. Auntie was 74 and recently passed. She's my FF memories.

I was a counter manager for FASHION FAIR in 1981-1985. This was the first major department store cosmetics for women of color….. everything sold out constantly and I loved it…. Slowly other major brands started ‘trying’ to indulge WOC with their products. Some formulas were a MISS and some were right on! Now with Fashion Fair BACK! along with Fenty and Juvia’s Place, and Danessa (?) Myrick, and now along with companies like NARS, Estée Lauder and countless other major and Indie companies, WOC are getting the recognition we deserve of our unique beauty.. Andrea, enjoy. I’m sure the excellence that is Fashion Fair has resurfaced into the beauty community taking up where they left off….

OMG, FF makeup!!! These babies on here talking about 1999 and 2010, LOL. I'm a 60's baby and FF was all the rave growing up in the 70's and 80's. They even had their own fashion shows. It's was advertised in Ebony and Jet magazine. I believe my foundation shade was Bronze Glo. The shades of the lipstick were phenomenal. Chocolate Raspberry, Loving Red, Sangria Red, & Spicy Lady, and Hot Chocolate were my favorite shades and I used Crystal Russet gloss on top of my lipsticks. Can you say "THROWBACK", and "MEMORIES"! Yes, going to Sephora's website tonight and see what they have. Andrea, you look like a stunning 1980's Fashion Fair model! Thanks for this video!
