From social media makeup artists to grassroots disruptor brands, beauty is innately more democratic, lending itself to activism, says Uoma Beauty founder Sharon Chuter who launched Pull Up For Change in summer 2020 as a call to action. Fashionâs top-down exclusivity makes the industry more resistant, she says.
Chuter should know. In the wake of Black Lives Matter protests taking place in the US and in other parts of the world, Pull Up For Change asked companies to share the number of Black employees on their payrolls in an act of transparency and unity. While many of beautyâs biggest players participated, including Sephora, Ulta Beauty and Kylie Cosmetics, very few fashion brands responded, says Chuter.

Your barista, beauty blogger and fantasy author don t vote the same way you do. So what?

When I go to a farmer’s market or shopping mall, I generally don’t ask vendors 20 questions about their background or political opinion before buying their product. I want to know: Is the product good quality? Is it worth the price?
Now, there are caveats to this: Generally, I don’t want to do business with people who I know are dishonest, immoral, or who are using their business toward ends I find reprehensible. That’s where boycotts come in (or, in another context, where tariffs and trade embargoes come in). Consumers are free to pressure companies to act a certain way. That’s always been the case.
