Actress/Entrepreneur

One of the most important assets of a performer in the entertainment field is to have healthy, glowing skin. Heavy cover up is passé. Today's makeup is lighter and more see-through. Being exposed to all kinds of working conditions, long hours, hot lights, heavy stage make-up etc. actress/entrepreneur Vera Moore realized the need to fill the void for quality cosmetics especially for women of color, a foundation that wasn't wasn't greasy, oily, turned red and rubbed off on her clothes at the mere touch. This gave birth to a family owned business Vera Moore Cosmetics.
