Women with dark skin 'held hostage' by make-up brands

A blogger has convinced make-up giant Maybelline to expand its range for women with dark skin after writing a blog post about how the company was ignoring women of colour.

Nadia told 5 live: 鈥淭here is so little choice. If you are someone like me who is dark skinned you are basically held hostage, you have to buy from expensive brands.鈥

Maybelline recently announced that it is increasing the number of shades across three of its main franchises of foundation.
