Iman’s Global Chic
By Marcia A. Cole
It’s a cold rainy afternoon in mid-town Manhattan and Iman, CEO of IMAN COSMETICS, is standing sparkling bright like a New Year's celebration. She's wearing a gold sequined Tory Burch cardigan to cover an American Apparel white tee tucked inside Earnest Sewn boot-cut jeans. She stands poised and polished in four-inch Sergio Rossi strappy platforms. Blue smoky shadows frame her eyes, a hint of gold illuminates her brow-bone and cheeks, and lips are kissed with a bronze hue. Not the exact picture of a mogul. But then again, Iman, wife of rock star David Bowie, and mother of two, is no typical businesswoman.
The makeup maven who dared to place the beauty of women of color on a high pedestal with formulations that are not only spot-on in regards to complementing the subtle shades of light, medium and deep complexions, but are also technologically sound, is ready to bet on another chance: That women everywhere would want a piece of her personal style.
