Black Barbie Series

As I was browsing the net for inspiration one day, I was led to do a google search for Black Barbie’s to see what was really going on. To my surprise I found a host of lovely photos of popular and independent creations of black dolls that absolutely blew me away. I mean, how could I not be inspired! I immediately began collecting images to re-create on my YouTube channel and couldn’t wait to get started. There are about 6 or more looks that have inspired transformation makeovers…some more challenging than others…but fun none-the-less. I hope you enjoy watching the series as much as I enjoy performing the transformations.

This post is well overdue, as I’ve already completed two looks in this series. Well…better late than never!

Two down…much more to come!
