Project Beauty Expo has been running for three years now. Brittany Brown launched the event in Washington DC, and relocated it to New York City for 2017, 2018, and the foreseeable future. PBE features cosmetics, personal care, and wellness brands founded by women of color. It’s an event that hosts a tremendously valuable community of entrepreneurs as the beauty industry at large struggles to be legitimately inclusive and deliver products for the full diversity of women (and men) living and loving beauty today.
This year’s event featured 40+ brands, welcomed hundreds of consumers, and accommodated beauty press from print, TV, digital, IG, etc.
