"Economically empowering women's lives by teaching the art of makeup"
Oshun Woman is a Canadian registered not-for-profit organization. Our focus is on empowering BIPOC women by teaching beauty industry skills. Our flagship program emPowered by Beauty teaches economically challenged women living primarily in urban areas how to be a makeup artist. We further assist by helping participants to promote their new skills with entrepreneur training and apprenticeships.

They become emPowered by Beauty.
emPowered by Beauty programs are available through partnerships with NGO's that focus on the empowerment of women. Our programs are available in English and Spanish.

Jessica Carter
I am Jessica Carter. emPowered by Beauty is my idea, but it is born from many interactions with wonderfully supportive people over the years, family, friends, actors, NGO's , ambassadors, politicians and producers. emPowered by Beauty is about collaboration, education and sharing knowledge worldwide with underemployed women
Talented young artist in Ghana
A few years ago, I was invited by a local Women's organization, Network of Women in Growth, to travel to Ghana, West Africa to teach Make-Up artistry and Natural Skin Care product-making to a group of 25 underemployed women.
The experience was life-changing. The women that I worked with were immediately enabled to use their new skills, over a short 14 day period the women went to work in their communities and started to earn an income.
We are global
Working within marginalized communities emPowered by Beauty will teach makeup artistry skills and skincare product making. Contact us for program availability.
