We’re always keeping an eye out for what beauty products our favorite celebrities are wearing to share them with Byrdies. This time around, we’ve rounded up Latinx-owned brands that have become staples in their routines in honor of Latinx Heritage Month (September 15-October 15). Diversity in our beauty products is important for shades, undertones, and innovations that cater specifically to POC. Even within the Latin-sphere, there are so many cultures—Mexican, Brazilian, Colombian, and more—that have made unique contributions to the beauty industry.

From luxe skincare created by a celebrity facialist to the Rihanna-approved brand that launched the most unexpected lip color trend—the stars show support to these Latin beauty brands. Unexpected drugstore finds made the list, too. Scroll on to see their favorites.
