Philomena Kwao is a plus-size model living and working in New York. Already re-defining what it means to be beautiful - she is stunned that in 2016, black beauty consumers are still being overlooked by the mainstream cosmetics industry. Philomena Kwao is on a mission to highlight the struggle that black women face to find make-up for their skin tone. She meets the people changing the beauty industry from the inside, including London-based cosmetics entrepreneur Florence Adepoju, and iconic supermodel and beauty pioneer Iman, who are leading the beauty revolution — proving it's high time for the industry to diversify and represent everyone.
