I am looking for a name for a facial cosmetic company that sells
powders and foundations (ONLY) targeted at Asian, Latino, and African
American women.  We would have a unique shopping concept that
emphasizes color.  I need a name that is Sexy, Catchy, Speaks to my
Target audience, and business concept. It also has to have a domain name
that's available.  Any ideas?  Thank you!

Dark Beauty comes to mind, because that's how I see those incredibly
lovely women, but one had better do some research to make sure any
name you try doesn't have special negative meanings to those women.

When I say incredibly lovely, I mean their skin, not just their facial
shape. I once asked a black intellectual why on earth black women used
cosmetics. I said I could see why white women did, because frankly we
are featureless, and our skin resembles the belly of a dead fish. So,
white women need to add some color. But, when you look at black women,
their skin is incredibly beautiful with no help.

He said he believed it was a social conformity thing.

I realize different things have different meanings to different
people, so I issue an automatic apology to anyone who is offended by
my comments. My wife is Mexican, and I spend most of my time in
Mexico, so I assure you there is no offensive intent in anything I say
here.

Hollywood make-up 'artists' used to make Lena Horne, a black
entertainer, as white as possible!

There is one heck of a market for skin lighteners

I reckon that 'Gold' needs to get into your company's name

... GoldenGlow  ... Goldensheen ... Goldenshine  ... SheerGold  

... SirenGold  ... SereneGold ... TouchOfGold

This gets quite interesting, women normally tart up for other women,
with men they just need to show a bit a bit of body, after the
standard fake signs of 'sexual arousement' eg: lips and eyes.

Full war paint is a peer group thing.

I would try "Exotique", a mix between exotic and boutique.

How about 

'DartSilk'

Sharp as a dart but silky about it.
