In 2018, Shades Of Shades® Founder and Pioneer, Marsha Douglas-Sydnor, introduced the very first luxury eyewear brand, exclusively devoted to nude, natural eyewear for all beautiful skin tones. The custom Italian eyewear brand was created to provide inclusive nude eyewear to an industry that mainly focuses on limited nude color selections.
"Our mission is to serve as the global leader in the luxury nude eyewear space, providing inclusive, couture, nude eyewear for fashion connoisseurs and celebrity shoppers worldwide," Douglas-Sydnor told BLK OCEANS.

The launch of the company marked the creation of a market segment that did not exist. Being the first premium brand to exclusively offer nude eyewear in 14 real complexion shades, using the finest Italian materials and featuring custom undertones that compliment makeup foundation, they are pioneering the nude eyewear movement and creating the new staple accessory.
Since their launch, the company has been featured in Essence, Cosmopolitan, SheFinds, and has been worn by countless celebrity clientele.
“Shades of Shades® celebrates who you are,” says Douglas-Sydnor. “ We pride ourselves with honoring self-love, representation and continuing to serve as a reminder that together, we are all beautifully made.”

If you’re looking for a good place to start, finding your unique shade is easy with the online Eyewear Shade Finder, allowing you to select a tone best matching your own, from Milk to Mocha. Due to the custom nature of their eyewear, almost every style is popular, however, The Bordeaux and The Kingston Collections are very difficult for the brand to keep in stock. The lightweight design of these eyewear staples exudes fashion and unique style.
Currently, Shades of Shades® offers 14 shades of nude, however, Douglas-Sydnor plans to expand the palette and create additional classic silhouette collections in the near future.
