An African City (BeautyMarked & Co)
Founded by unknown
An African City is a Ghana-based liquid-lipstick line (sold via BeautyMarked & Co / beautymarkedgh.com) whose shades are named for prominent African cities, a love letter to the continent's beauty. The liquid lipstick is designed to create a velvet, smooth, matte finish with all-day coverage, and flatters all skin tones, whether worn alone, layered for an ombré effect, or paired with a lip liner. The colors are named after some of Africa's prominent cities, with seven shades available. The range includes unmistakably deep options, Cairo as a deep red and Nairobi as a deep fuchsia, plus Serwaa lip glosses to layer on top. It's long-wearing, waterproof, highly pigmented, and vegan, cruelty-free and paraben-free. A truly under-the-radar West African pick that almost never appears on Western roundups. Caveat: founder and founding-year details are unconfirmed, and the brand's exact relationship to the An African City web series should be verified.
