K by Beverley Knight

Soul superstar Beverley Knight MBE launched her first ever cosmetics range, K By Beverley Knight on 17th September in Selfridges, London. She was joined by international singing legend Chaka Khan who is a huge fan of the new range.

The range is available exclusively to Selfridges in London, Manchester and Birmingham until 6th October, when it will be rolled to other leading retailers including John Lewis as well as online at www.kbybeverleyknightcosmetics.com. The brand is entirely unique and the first to provide a full range of products that address all of the issues currently overlooked for darker skin tones. The new range, which covers 15 products, from oil-free foundations through to eyeliners and highlighters, is both sophisticated and affordable – perfect for today’s modern woman!

Often referred to as the Queen of British soul, Beverley Knight’s success as a vocalist and songwriter has given her a career that has spanned over a decade and brought her a huge following. Having won three MOBO Awards in addition to Mercury and BRIT nominations, Beverley was awarded an MBE in 2007 in recognition of her contribution to music and various charitable projects. With her musical career ever growing, Beverley has continued to expand her talents and has dedicated all her spare time to creating the K by Beverley Knight cosmetics brand. With so few brands that cater too the needs of dark and black skin, she has always felt that there was a gap in the beauty industry and this project was born out of her desire to create a brand that satisfies every skin type and tone.

“Time and time again I would find myself looking for make-up that would work for my skin – everything from bases to eye shadows and lipsticks. The choice was very limited and, like the vast majority of black and dark-skinned women, I found there wasn’t anything that provided the full spectrum of colours I needed. I was so excited to be offered the chance to work on my own range of products, introducing a home-grown brand which caters to all tones of black and Asian skin.”
