Iman has a book called Beauty of Color: The Ultimate Beauty Guide for Skin of Color, it's sold at Barnes %26amp; Noble.
you should definately try fashion fair!!!!!!!!they have all kind of products for oilu skin,dry skin and they all kind of different shades for foundation and much more.Just go to macys
I went to amazon.com to see if they had any good books - there is one user named ';divastate'; and she has created a list of books specifically geared to african-american skin.


The list has 23 books on makeup and skincare.


Each book has reviews written by readers, so I think this may be really helpful to you.
