One of the nations leading authorities on black skin care and cosmetics traveled over half a million miles in the past decade to bring his message to consumers across the nation. Alfred Forney Jr.’s days on the road are far from over! This summer The Panther staff discovered the Creative Director for Revlon’s Polished Ambers Collection here in Atlanta, explaining and demonstrating a new skin care system especially tailored to the needs of black women. An honors graduate of New York’s prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology, Fornay helped to develop ethnic markets for Clairol hair products, and has served as Training Director for Fashion Fair, a top black cosmetic firm produced by Johnson Products. Articles on his skin care techniques have appeared in Ebony magazine. He also served as associate editor of Essence magazine. More impressive than the list of professional accomplishments is Fornay’s genuine concern for his work. He radiates a self as­ surance as he talks about his chosen field. Commenting on his work, he asserts, ''I'm a positive believer that skin care products and makeup must fit each individuals specific needs and tastes. There is no one 'right' regimen or look, butthereare rightways to use makeup and care for darker skin tones. Through Revlon’s Polished Ambers Collection, we help black women discover skin care techniques and makeup formulations that are uniquely suited for them.” The seven year old collection was developed because Revlon felt there was a special need and market for a totally black cosmetic line. Mr. Fornay has been working with Revlon for two Natalie Cole years. He has had direct input in creating a skin care line called ‘‘Skin Toning”. The fragrance free creme is made especially for black sensitive skin. ‘‘Red Your Way” is what the Polished Ambers group at Revlon Cole and Posner Team call’sFornay’sexclusivecollection ofdazzling reds. Twosystemsof reds are available in the collection. "Sunny Red Your Way" is a yellow based red for fair to medium skin tones. It creates a softer Up for Beauty Secrets look in coloron dark skin.
