Bernicia Boateng is one of the new generation of stars in the beauty world. Now, she joins Sarah Jossel at The Beauty Desk to talk honestly about what beauty, confidence, and self-worth really mean to her.
From the multi-step skincare routine that sculpted her signature “second-skin” glow to the invisible SPF stick she swears by for darker skin tones, Bernicia shares her full kit secrets, her thoughts on the evolution of shade inclusivity, and the budget-friendly brow pencil she still picks over luxury brands.
Plus, Sarah asks her about starting her career on the beauty counters at Selfridges, launching her hair brand Anollé, navigating the love-hate pressure of social media, and how she turned an early struggle with traction alopecia into her ultimate superpower.
