The collaboration between Black Radiance — a leading beauty brand for women of color — and iconic streetwear brand Cross Colours brings together two influential names in African American culture. This partnership aims to merge beauty with the vibrant, expressive spirit of 80s and 90s hip-hop, reflecting the cultural intersection of fashion, music, and beauty that defined those decades. With a focus on empowerment, individuality, and Black beauty, the Black Radiance x Cross Colours capsule includes a range of makeup products inspired by the latter collaborator’s bold color palette.
The collection includes an eye shadow palette, mascara, and multi-use paint palette that emphasize high-pigment, vibrant formulas suited for bold looks. From the Cassette Tape-Inspired eye shadow to the Mic Drop mascara, the branding channels the retro aesthetics of the hip-hop era while ensuring versatility and skin-friendly ingredients.
