Ami Colé

Imagine makeup so seamless, it feels like it’s part of your skin. That’s the magic of Ami Colé, a brand born from the heart of Harlem and the mind of Diarrha N’Diaye. Growing up, N’Diaye noticed the lack of products that truly catered to melanin-rich skin. So, she created Ami Colé, a line that doesn’t just match your shade but celebrates it. With ingredients that are as clean as they are effective, this brand is all about that effortless glow—think skin, but better.
