Jackie Aina Announces New Candle Brand, Forvr Mood
Jackie is known for stunning make and fashion choices, as well as being the queen of meme. For years now she has been making sure out makeup bags are in check and now Jackie is coming for our homes!
After sharing a very vague post on her Twitter captioned “something is coming” it’s fair for all of us to assume that our fave Jackie Aina was coming out with something popping. Of course, our minds would go straight to the beauty industry considering her collabs with Too Faced, Artist Couture, Elf, and Anastasia Beverly Hills. But no! She switched the game up on all of us!
Jackie Aina is dropping a candle collection! After years of getting our makeup bags in check, she is checking for our homes. Jackie is known for her “black women in luxury” aesthetic. Never shying away from being “extra” or dramatic when it comes to her outfit, hair, or makeup choices. She has been one of my favorite YouTube makeup artists and influencers because she is not afraid of expressing her opinions on problems in the beauty industry. She advocates for the visibility of people of color in the beauty industry, specifically dark skin people. In her past collaborations with beauty companies, her objective was to make certain her products work with a large range of skin complexions.
