Our products ARE better than MAC for black skin – why pay their prices? Doris Michaels Cosmetics celebrates dark skin. Black women often have skin tone problems, such as blemishes, uneven skin tone, scarring and oiliness, which our products cover giving them flawless skin,” it added.
Stating what the Doris Michaels foundations and powders have been created to do, it said it;

Palazzo pants are one of the hottest trends at the moment and they coordinate very well with crop tops. Palazzo pants or Palazzo trousers are long women’s trousers cut with a loose, extremely wide leg that flares out evenly from the waist to the ankle. Some Palazzo trousers can be very wide that they’ll get you confused as you’ll be wondering whether they’re actually pants or skirts.
These wide-legged pants can be worn all year round in places with constant warm weather or during the summer in places where there is colder weather. This is because they are generally made with light, flowing fabrics such as silk crepe, chiffon and jersey.
While Palazzo pants are not a popular fashion piece to wear during the winter, some people still put them on during the cold season but usually go for those that are made with wool or other heavy synthetic fabrics.
Palazzo pants became a popular fashion piece for women in the late ’60s and early 70s when many women started rebelling against the idea that women are not meant to wear trousers. During this time, some upscale restaurants were denying entrance to women wearing trousers. To resist and bypass this discrimination, some women started wearing palazzo pants that look like flared skirts to these upscale restaurants and were able to avoid being forced to wear skirts and blouses for their evening outings.
Do you want to join this trend and also rock your wide leg palazzo pants with crop tops? See photos below for the best ways to rock palazzo pants with crop tops.
