After swapping the layout of its beauty section for a more user-friendly shopping experience last fall, Target has just added another major change to the docket: eight new cosmetic brands, all helmed by women (and primarily women of color at that).
Starting today on Target.com and on May 20 in select stores, Target will officially carry products from Coloured Raine, EveryHue Beauty, Haleys Beauty, Hue Noir, Makeup Geek, Reina Rebelde, The Lip Bar and Violet Voss. You might recognize quite a few of these indie brands as buzzy beauty blogger favorites — and now you'll have the option to shop their wares in real life.
The new brands greatly expand Target's shade range — between them, they'll be bringing in more than 150 products designed for medium to dark skin tones. In a rapidly shifting beauty landscape, it's heartening to see a well-loved destination like Target taking such big steps towards increased inclusivity — especially since the products are offered at a more affordable price point.

Haleys Beauty is still fairly new to the scene, having been founded by Ashley Ocampo back in 2016. You'll be happy to hear that its products are vegan and made without common irritants such as sulfates, parabens and fragrance, making them ideal for sensitive skin types. The Haley's Re:Set Liquid Matte Foundation, $19.99, strikes that perfect balance between high-coverage and lightweight and is currently available in an impressive 33 shades.
