This line of makeup is still sold in Paris and the following is the line’s website url: http://estore.blackup.com/
The prices are in Euros. To say that the line was scrapped because it was too expensive is i would say a little ignorant. It is no longer sold in the US because not many know about the BlackUp make up line and competitors like MAC and L’Oreal are competitors which already have the make up market!

To you all

Eccentric is right. It used to sell in Macy’s and I still have a face powder that I haven’t worn in years until today. And I was surprised at how well it stayed on and then wondered why I hadn’t used it in so long. I think the line failed because it was expensive, and at that time MAC was a super-hit. BlackUp foundations were wonderful, but their eyeshadow line and lipsticks weren’t better than MAC’s, and BlackUp’s expensive skin care line didn’t help. That’s just my opinion, anyway.

^So I take it they are no longer at Macy’s NY? Thank you. I’ve been trying for three months on where I can buy this product and was still wondering if it was still at Macy’s NY. Now I have to get it online so it’s ok.

Thanks.

They sold this line at Macy’s in NY in 2003/2004. I bought $300 worth of it and I still have it today (Just because I don’t wear make-up too often). I love it, it looked amazing on and I always got compliments. I am a dark skin african-american woman. In their oil-free foundation I wear FL09. Its light, and I havent seen a brand able to capture the same look as Black Up.

Hi,

I have been researching this makeup line for months after seeing it mentioned in Essence magazine. I am a dark skinned african american female and wonder how to choose the right colors online. The colors online look “off” compared to the pictures… I want to try this makeup sooo badly but it is too expensive to get the colors wrong… Any advice. I have emailed them but no reply yet…
