Chicago-based cosmetics brand Fashion Fair will soon be back on store shelves — with a bit of a makeover.

When Fashion Fair launched in 1973, it was one of the only makeup brands creating cosmetics designed for women of color. But the brand struggled in the years before its parent company, Ebony and Jet magazine publisher Johnson Publishing, went bankrupt in 2019.
