in 1979, Vera Moore Cosmetics was developed from the guidance of a licensed

esthetician, her husband. VMC maintains the position that women should “clear it

up” vs. “cover it up.” The brand is anchored in the belief that skincare is the focus

coupled with the usage of cosmetics. Thus, our mantra “SKINCARE is the TRUE

foundation.”

Vera has appeared on several soap operas. Her major contract was landing the role

of “Linda Metcalf” as one of the first black actresses in a family on the soap opera

“Another World” NBC for ten years. She immediately realized the void in the market

for quality products for women of color; specifically, a natural looking foundation

that didn’t rub off on your clothes. This gave birth to Vera Moore Cosmetics. Her

journey has led to national recognition on the covers of Black Enterprise Magazine,

Network Journal’s 25 Influential Black Women in Business, Networking Women,

featured in People Magazine, Essence Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, Upscale

Magazine, received the Success Stories Award from Volvo Cars of North America,

Conference, Small Business Development Centers, the Black Enterprise

Entrepreneurial Conference and the Women’s Power Summit, Essence Festival, etc.

She is a board member of The New York Women’s Chamber of Commerce. As a

passionate advocate for women owned businesses; Vera continues to strive to

knock down barriers that impede their growth by leveling the playing field. In 1982,

Vera broke through the color barrier when her company became the first black-

owned business to set up shop in the 50-year history at the prestigious Green Acres
