Need a bra that complements your skin, almost becoming invisible? Get a skin tone bra. Read our review of the best skin tone bras that we’ve tried.

Until fairly recently, most skin tone consumer products, from band-aids to stockings, bras to underwear, were only available in one color.

Our differences in skin tones go way back. However, beauty and clothing manufacturers took too much time to catch up and cater to consumers with various shades of skin tones.

According to this report by Neilsen, African-American consumers have an estimated $1.3 trillion purchasing power, while Hispanics follow closely at $1.2.  Next on line are Asian-Americans, with an estimated $1 trillion purchasing power.

With that said, when we consider that it’s women who drive the household spending in all these groups, brands are losing out by failing to provide products that address the needs of these women. Among the products that are brands should focus on are skin tone bras.

Skin Tone Bras for Brown Skin

In their constant quest to increase market share and make loyal customers, some companies are starting to produce products that reflect their diverse customers. Among these companies are those in the $13 billion bra industry.

Challenges with Skin Tone Bras

In this guide, we’ll review a collection of five bras from companies r=that acknowledge the rainbow’s different shades. These bras brands also cater to full-figured women.

Before starting this skin tone bras review, I must admit that getting candidates to feature in this list was quite tricky. Whenever I bought and tried a bra, it seemed like the puzzle didn’t have some pieces.

When I get hold of a pretty flesh-colored bra in a style I fancy, I often find that its “big size” doesn’t go beyond DD, or the band size is somewhat small. And when I get a perfect, supportive bra in large sizes, it may not be available in a variety of colors.

After coming up with my list, I realized most of the skin tone bras I chose were full-coverage. This means there’s still a lack of diversity of bras for particular skin tones that also cater to large sizes. I am looking for an ideal and supportive t-shirt bra, which is in my shade, and I’ll find attractive.

I will be thrilled to see a Freya Rio in my skin shade

While there’s some progress, bra manufacturers still need to do a lot more for plus size women.

With that out of the way, here are the best skin tone bras for large cups

Best Skin Tone Bras for Plus Size

It can be seen when you wear it with some outfits, due to the nature of its texture. Moreover, the band could need extra hooks.

• 4. The Lilyette Enchantment Minimizer Bra

Available on Amazon

Read full review here.

This is one of my most favorite skin tone bras in my collection. The bra looks nice and smooth, although it’s a minimizer bra. Normally, I associate this class with practical, Playtex bras that look plain and are outdated.

Its cup sizes go up to a G

Advantages

This bra is all comfortable. Your breasts can fill the cups and take a natural shape since it’s not molded. Moreover, its back strap has a wide wing that provides a soothing effect to the back.

The cups of this bra go all the way to a double J. The bra is made of a quality lace-like fabric and, therefore, looks appealing without a lot of decoration. You can easily wear this bra underneath any type of clothes

Advantages

The Elomi Raquel bra has soft cups that create a natural shape and also provides support by properly distributing the breast tissue.

Disadvantages

The bra straps can get loose during the day. Moreover, the bra is a bit conical when you view it from the side.

Ideal for:

Wearing from morning until evening. You can wear it to work, when going out for your rendezvous at night, and when unwinding.

Honorable Mentions

I will two more bras in this list as the companies that make them have been including skin tone shade ranges in their collections. Moreover, the bras are very beautiful.

NAJA

AVAILABLE ON NAJA

 Naja came into the limelight in 2014. The company aims at making nude bras to incorporate different skin tones. Therefore, you are likely to find a  skin tone bra that matches your shade. This means you won’t have to settle on a black bra all the time.

The only issue I have with this company is its limited sizing. The largest cup size they offer is a DDD. Moreover, you won’t find a broad range of band sizes for large cup sizes.

Still, the company makes good bras and is focused on zero waste bras.

Nubian Skin

The Nubian Skin company carries diverse shades for dark skin tones. On their website, there is also a guide on their website on foundation matching. Honestly, it’s difficult telling whether you are cinnamon or mocha by looking at your screen.

A lot of their styles become small on the band, although the band sizes are up to 40. The company is putting some work in increasing its sizes range.

Check out the company if you are looking for skin tone bras and have a small frame. Their cup sizes go up to a G.
