Nyma Tang

Nyma candid reviews often prove the point that dark-skinned women are largely overlooked by the beauty industry. Her point is to empower women to look and feel their best, while also holding makeup manufacturers to account.

This issue led her to start a series called The Darkest Shade in 2017. In this series, Nyma reviews different makeup brands, one by one, and shows off their darkest shade of foundation. Besides this most popular series, in other videos, Nyma reviews other makeup products, such as lipsticks and makeup pallets.

Nyma’s career as a beauty vlogger opened up remarkable opportunities, allowing her to collaborate with renowned makeup brands. One notable brand she had the privilege to work with was Fenty Beauty, which holds a special place in her heart. She admires Fenty Beauty for its exceptional quality and unwavering commitment to inclusivity across all skin tones. In 2018, another significant collaboration came her way as she partnered with MAC Cosmetics, resulting in the launch of a new lipstick shade, aptly named after none other than Nyma Tang herself.

At 25, her Youtube channel became an instant success and shook the beauty industry’s old ways.

Her first video to surpass 5 million views was “Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Foundation Review ~ Nyma Tang #thedarkestshade.”

Hailing originally from South Sudan, Nyma Tang eventually found her home in Dallas, Texas. Within her journey, she has been accompanied by her younger sister, who has made appearances on her channel, and shared experiences throughout her content.
