I want to just hold her. As a dark skinned girlie who was around when we ONLY HAD Iman’s make up line not show up as ashy, I will protect her at all cost. Imagine going to get your makeup done for prom like all your friends and coming home in tears because you look a gotdamn messsssss and the only excuse you got was “ your skin is too dark”. This was 2004. How dare yall come for this girl! The work dark skin creators have done to get shade ranges that actually match our skin tone and under tones is immense, just so yall can now say “ just use something else”…. Bruh!! Go back 20 yrs and tell little ol me to “use something else” so I can ask you “ what else?! There is nothing”. There is no feeling so disheartening then knowing the skin God gave you is seen as bottom barrel. Protect our dark skin creators at all cost. They have crawled and walked so yall can run, now stop running your mouths disrespectfully.
Are these kids too young to remember the days of 15 pale beiges and only 3 shades of tan foundations with the same orange undertone and no testers? Using eyeshadow as blush?
OMG!!! YES! YES! YES! you're the one amongst a few majority of the people that I come across having the most logic and practical thinking as a consumer. Who the F wants to buy that s*hole product with that price point whereas we can get a satisfied purchases not only in performance but also come with more affordable prices from the other brands. Right????
@@alwaysannoyedforever518 correct, that's not the point but in the bigger picture of beauty industry with the current economic situation as a whole, it is very much logical yet practical Indeed.
That's the only option that makes sense, because there's no way they thought that this would pass. Maybe they know their target audience wouldn't care.
"Being black is your entire personality" more like "calling out the lack of inclusion and basic knowledge on deeper skin tone composition in the cosmetic industry is the FOCUS OF HER CONTENT"...since when do people expect a social media account to be fully representative of one's lifestyle and personality??? Golloria was doing underrated work, testing these different shades and formulations, It's so disappointing she was bullied off her platforms. What ever happened to just not watching someone's content that you don't like instead of harassing them? EDIT for all the people saying she's begging companies, it's a bad look and not all companies need to cater to darker-skinned audiences, that's true. Not all companies need to cater to all skin tones. HOWEVER, very many companies use swatches of their product that clearly won't work for darker-skinned people but make it look like it does on their sites. For example, the YSL lavender blush. On the swatch on the model on their own website, it looked like a vibrant purple blush with no ashiness, however IRL, the blush is made with a white base so anyone beyond a certain depth of skin colour will look ashy in it bc of colour theory. Example 2, the Youthforia. If you don't want to cater to darker skin tones, don't. But don't go making a jet-black colour and then be audacious enough to swatch it on a dark-skinned model and put it up on the site as something that should work. Finally, as an example of how this kind of advocacy for inclusivity can be positive, after reviews from darker creators, namely miss Darceii, TirTir revamped their cushion foundations to be inclusive in every sense of the word because they knew they wanted to expand their target audience to westerners and took the criticism and changed their products. As a company, they are now thriving.
As a black person I do not need another black person to make content that is poor me poor me content For example when they beg companies to include us when there are companies that already include us it doesn’t make sense respectfully in 2024 you can find a foundation in your shade What do I think women were doing 20+ years ago they were making it work Her content opens the door for white people to make content against black owned companies that don’t do shades for them and criticise the company and complain that the company is not inclusive remember was good for the goose is good for the gander there’s not one rule for one race and another rule for another race that’s exactly what us black people have been fighting against right
@@pastellatte2006 i’d say she got what she asks for. respectfully she makes content complaining about companies not making make up suitable for dark skin and she received make up not suitable for dark skin she made a video and it didn’t work in her favour. Even if a person says she didn’t have to buy it will go deeper than that she didn’t have to use it and after using it she didn’t have to make a video she chooses to call people out
I can't believe they said to her that "being black is your entire personality." I would have said "duh? And? so?" We can't walk around and pretend that we are not the skin colour that we were born with and what that represents? Like people who say they are not political. Well the colour of my skin is political just by being non-European/ Non-Fair Asian because people have to lobby elected government representatives to ban dangerous bleaching creams...all over the world. I can't believe that they basically tried to gaslight her part of her identity especially as it is not something that she can change.
not to sound like a hater but they dont check who theyre sending what to, if ur on the list youre gonna get the same thing everyone else is getting. Now id also like to point out, not all makeup is gonna be for you, thats something heavely ignored in the makeup community and its just plain ignorant, if you think it doesnt look good on you, move on and go to the next product.
That "exposing golloria" tiktok slide lit me on fire, istg. I encourage everyone to go and explain WHY it's ridiculous to blame a creator for reviewing products that were sent on a PR package, products that were advertised to work on ALL skin tones. Please yall 😂😂
@@ElleStuart-u2z my perimenopausal ass sure don't! I'll leave that energy for the 20 and 30 year olds who are bored. In my twenties I was busy with university and in my thirties i was busy paying off student loans while fixing my health.
I'm confused. I thought she was a hero and inclusivity was the thing. When people are unreasonable, they switch up so quickly, I guess the outrage switches. It's unreasonable to be mad at brands that they're not inclusive if they never claimed they were, but it's completely reasonable to call out brands for being fake and branding their products incorrectly. This product won't even work on most white people. I doubt that I would be able to wear this blush and I'm light. It's beyond me how YSL had the nerve to market this as a product for everyone and thought they were going to be slick. They'll still get outrage for making the product just for light people but it would've been way less than it is now.
@@GabbieCh For the first part you said about brands who dont claim inclusivity; while i think ppl shouldn’t attack one brand but shoukd still support and push for more inclusive brands overall.
“Your skin tone is your entire personality” she’s making videos of makeup, and doing reviews to help other women of color with their makeup since the industry usually focuses on pale skin. Why is that so hard for people to grasp😭😭😭
@@diminarchyooh..😮 that’s good! Also logical too since, that was clearly never on the drawing board when they went over every thing they’ll put out stemming from that. Whether they think and believe it’s obvious and is or not.
Because it is nonsense, especially for smaller brands to not produce for the majority that actually buys their products. Try being a woman with really large feet - shoe companies aren't "inclusive"
Why is inclusivity always a virtue? Y'all skipped that part of the conversation and just take it as a religious presupposition. Go on, argue why society needs to care about inclusivity as a top priority 🍿 not a single person ever has, show me your big brains, be the one.
The lady with the blue background is spot on! These brands know what they are doing. It’s all a PR stunt to get more visibility for their brand, only so they can turn around and say “we hear you and will be more inclusive.” Only to have a relaunch while everyone is now watching and will buy.
I felt her pain. As someone who is the darkest one in my family and who was so bullied in school about my dark chocolate skin color, it hurts. The “you’re too dark” comments - in school, people would say if the lights were turned off, I’d disappear or say “too ugly to be forgotten” referring to my dark skin because being dark was seen as ugly. I just want to embrace all dark skinned women and assure them that it will be okay. Today, I’m in my 50’s and it’s taken me this long to love my deep, dark, beautiful skin color. I’ve learned that if someone doesn’t like it, that’s their problem, not mine. I feel that we have to start with ourselves first. Stop tearing down other beautiful black women. Accept that all our shades are incredible and then go from there.
I must ask, turning 50, doesn't it feel amazing that your skin looks like you're closer to 30? It's the melanin. It IS the darkness that preserves. Enjoy your forever youth and continue to enjoy the blessing of Darkness❤
I honestly laugh at people who say ignorant things like this. Same thing happened to me in school but the gag is I would never wanna look like they asses 😂 I love my darkskin and wouldn’t change it for nothing. They really hate themselves and wanna be white or something but I’ll pass lol I think everyone is beautiful in their own way and people need to stop projecting it’s so annoying and they need to get therapy lol Cause soon as something racist happens to them they crying but when another from their own community speaks up about their struggles it’s like just shut up. They are honestly just dumb. Cause majority of this comes from other “black people” yes other races do it too but ALOT of black people project the worst. That’s in my experience
@@MsFunexperience yes, I love it! I just turned 57 in August and people know I have two kids, the thing is I end up getting into arguments because people don’t believe me when I say my kids are 31 & 28. They honestly think I’m lying and will say “you look like you’re in your early 30’s! 🤣🤣I love my beautiful skin tone 💖💖
EXACTLY! I am in my late fifties, and I always felt this way too growing up, the mean things people would say. I wasn't consider the beautifies in high school people picked on me, was abusive toward me. After high school some of the same guys, have the nerve to ask me out, and most of them are not worth my time, not to mention some of the female who thought they were the bomb, if you look at some of them, you would not believe that they are the same people. Yes I was one of the girl that was called ugly, because I was dark skinned, but I love myself.
YSL lied. Literally just market it to pale girls. And they presented it that it also applied to darker skinned people. We have that shade in a local makeup brand and they SPECIFICALLY state it's for FAIR with cool toned skin. 🤦🏻♀️
It doesn’t even work for some pale girls tho, that’s the thing. It’s not that hard (I mean you would think) to not false advertise every time you have a new launch. If you don’t want or are not going to have actual full well diversity and inclusivity for everyone-stick to that and stand up on that, so everyone is well aware. But don’t bs, and then act a way when you’re called out.
what's messed up is making a blush for extremely fair skin wouldve still been inclusive but it's clear ysl only thought about dark skin inclusivity as if that's the only type of inclusivity
@@Boohurghhooyes it does. Idk why girls who are tan call themselves pale but they’re not. Actual pale girls have been left out of the makeup industry and forgotten about. This should have never been marketed as universal but some shades like the pasty lavender does in fact work on extremely pale skin.
Robert Welsh tested the same blush, and guess how it looked like on him? WHITE. It looked like matte highlighter on his pasty-pale British skin. There's just no way this should have ever be marketed as "suitable for all skin tones" shade when it barely works for people with pale skin.
@@malloryknox6802 what does that have to do with anything? There are pasty pale Mexicans just like there are dark brown Mexicans. You need to get your brain checked.
Why are we so fixated on brands that aren’t inclusive to us? We need to focus on brands that are inclusive and mainly black owned brands from all over the world. We have to build our own up because we have the buying power.
THIS IS WHAT I SAID TOO!!!! and yk know how our community(the black community) responded to me??? By screaming and yelling at me! Babes, wtf happened to not begging to be included and going where we're ALREADY included? There's SOOOOO many brands that either only focus on us or MOSTLY focus on us and we still wanna fight to be included in brands who have made it BLANTLEY clear they don't want shi to do with us 🙄 These companies are playing in our faces and we LET them, and then wanna complain about not being included
The problem is that they faked inclusiveness and we're calling them out for it because they're just putting us as a poster to make it seem like they're catering to us so they can get money, but I get your point
This is how I feel. If they don’t want my money I’m not going to beg them to take it. I get calling them out when they say they’re inclusive and they’re not, but some of these companies are obviously trying to get more publicity so they do this on purpose.
I will die on the hill that YSL targeted her the knew their products wouldn't work on her skin and that it would cause uproar. They did not care how it affected her mentally all they cared about was the views that they would gain from this conflict
It's soooo simple: This Lavender shade is inclusive but not "ALL" inclusive. YSL promoted it as being "ALL" inclusive which this blush is not by showing people with dark complexion with this blush and advertising it as such. This is wrong. YSL sent this blush as a PR to Golloria so they should be prepared for the honest review. Hands off to Golloria for speaking the truth. End of story!
I'm gonna illustrate to you why that idea is bad. Both of the following number lists are inclusive. List A = [0, 1] List B = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ...∞] Notice how one list includes every positive whole number, and the other only has 2. Yeah technically both are inclusive, because they both include numbers, but do you see how describing them both as inclusive lists comes across disingenuous? Suddenly the word "inclusive" is no longer helpful in telling you anything about these number lists other than "it has at least one number in it", which of course it does: It's a number list. Being a list with numbers is its entire purpose. The same principal applies to makeup. Of course the shade works for specific people, it's a color meant to match human skin. Adding "all" or not means nothing when the blush achieves its intended look for a specific skin color (light neutral or cool toned skin). Everything does not need to be marketed as "inclusive". They could have just put out blushes for a full range of skin tones and had an inclusive collection, rather than lying about "universal" blushes.
I will never buy a YSL product ever again and I liked their perfumes. If you have to resort to deliberately instigating racism from your core customer base against black women, clearly you have told me you don't value me as a customer. Nope, YSL will never see my money again.
What did you expect from a brand that hurts animals for makeup and fashion??? Animal cruelty is a sign of psychopathy. And now only when they are targetting human skin color you wake up ?
The irony is that the man who created the brand was one of, if not the first French designer to include and center a black model in his work. He's done it on several occasions throughout his career when the rest of French Haute Couture was keeping their catwalks and photoshoots on the milky side mostly. 🙄 A sad turn for his legacy...
How deep does it go? Black women are policed from being soft, feminine, cute, or girly. It challenges the stereotype of the "man-ish, brute, and loud" black woman. Brands inform the beauty community, they're re-enforcing this stereotype. Doing this ON PURPOSE to further exclude black women from the "ideal beauty standard". Black women are BEAUTIFUL and we need to accept that fact!
Yup they don’t want bw wearing makeup Men do this too “bw wear too much nails, makeup, lashes, and weave “ but they allow other women to wear the same. It is only bw that are requested to be plain jane
Legacy brand Estee Lauder had 58 shades of foundation back when Fenty launched with 40 shades, so YSL doesn't deserve a pass even if they add more shades. Not being inclusive at that price point is a _choice_.
Exactly! The old school brands took a long while but inclusion existed before this newer brands. People just sleep on them because they are consider old or boring but there’s a reason why they’ve been around for 40, 60, 70 + years
I'm an Eastern European woman and I'm sad that in Eastern European beauty community, our women demonize dark-skinned women for being "spoiled" and "demanding" because of this lavender blush, when the issue wasn't about the blush itself but about how it was advertised. When I tried to address this issue, women harassed me in the comments because "we don't understand this Western obsession with inclusivity, not everything will work for everyone". Like, dark-skinned women, by their belief, don't even have a right to complain about false advertisement.
Isn't it funny how the people who so comfortably say "not everything will work for everyone" almost always have all the products work for them? They don't complain because most things are tailored towards their skin tones. The only reason they want Black Women, especially dark skinned Black Women to shut up is because they don't think Black Women are as deserving of care and understanding as other women. Let's just call it what it is.
They're too lost on their preconceived view of “if black people complain then it's just drama” regarding westerners in general, to the point that they lack critical thinking because they believe they already have an all-knowing well established thinking
They're absolutely spoiled, entitled brats, it's their culture. They do it over everything. Show me when white or Asian create drama over something as petty as this.
I'm so jealous of darker skin. They are so beautiful and they can wear so many colors I would never have the courage to wear as a very fair skinned person with a ruddy complexion. The way colors like orange, royal blue, and bright yellow practically glow on their skin makes me wish I had darker skin.
Evil behavior by the marketing team. Also very cynical of the "exposing golloria" person to use albino people as a point of argument, when it wasn't even marketed to them.
Some people (even in our community) don’t want you to succeed because of their personal beliefs. They’ve been conditioned to believe colourist rhetoric and are comfortable in it. Stay strong and safe, everyone. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
It's Crabs in a Pot mentality. And this mentality knows no boundaries, it is widely prevalent amongst all races of people. The essential gist is this: If they can't have it, neither can you. If you try to get it, and you come close, they will knock you down. Trust me when I say, this is not exclusive to any race. This is one of the primary dynamics you will find amongst white people in western countries. Particularly, and unfortunately, women.
The same people bullying her in the next turn are all about helping children not be bullied…bunch of hypocrites. People want to pretend to do the right thing when it’s convenient for them.
I guarantee you that Yves Saint Lauren did this to generate PR and sales. Because they will make more money off of some thing that people will buy because of drama, just to make videos about it, then they would off of a blush that was actually universal.
As someone who worked in marketing this strategy of “rage bait marketing” which I have constantly had arguments about ad-nauseam in board rooms NEVER works long time. This is why LVMH is suffering now after insulting the Asian market. I understand business and how it’s cutthroat but it’s also based on relationship and trust. Black women are one of the biggest markets sectors when it comes to the beauty industry but white supremacy in its sheer idiocy doesn’t care… until it will eventually hit their pockets.
Dark skinned girls like me, getting the short end of the stick, per usual *sigh* I wanted to be light skinned so bad as a kid that i bleached myself. I didmt work (thankfully) but i got bullied everyday about how dark i was. Funny thing, wasnt coming from white people, it was coming from my black peers! Why do we do this 🫠
It always comes from our own.. Black ppl are the most colourist to light skin and dark skin women. It the most disturbing when a dark skin woman is colourist to a woman that’s darker than her.
The thing that annoyed me the most about this whole controversy is people kept moving goal post First it was made for people with albinism or very fair skinned people Then its a highligher/ base for Asian style of makeup Next it was color corrector Even though a quick Google search would have shown ysl marketing show women of a deeper completion for the promo pictures Also this also shows me some people really don't understand color theory at all Another thing what is wrong with wanting to live a nice life and try new things The last woman you showed in your video looks like she is having fun and enjoying herself Why does she have to act a certain way in order to show she is being "real or true to herself" If she is happy and having fun being herself that is what matters
Sephora uses models with dark skin tones for very light products. It seems to be their attempt at inclusivity but it's just annoying because all it shows is who it won't work for. I like it when they use atleast 3 models to cover the spectrum for each shade.
I don't understand why people would send hate to Golloria for just stating that the blushes don't work on her skin tone, when giving opinions based on how products work for them is literally what all beauty influencers do! All YSL had to do was market their blushes truthfully. 🙄
9:55 It’s actually crazy the hills that people are willing to die on, especially when it comes to make up because that blush did not look good on her. It looked ashy as hell, but the people were pretending like it looks good because it’s YSL.
If us darker skinned girlies get on code and only by from Inclusive brands and black owned to never even by a liner from these problematic companies they will see us then because we are the biggest spenders. How is it indi brands can get get it right while the other can't? Purposely done or straight racism u pick. How ever it goes it's all badd!
Black people come up as the highest beauty consumer due to hair care inclusion. Even then, we're talking billions of dollars (trillions worldwide) and that should not be dismissed. It's also 2024 and almost a decade ago, Fenty showed these other pretentious brands that it can be done. I've stopped shopping with any makeup brands that treat Black skin like an afterthought. Edit: Forgot to add that, like the clued on ladies said, some of these companies are intentionally rage bait marketing. Black women need to get on code, ignore them by adding them to the 'Do not patronize' list. Shop with those who cater to us. Take business away from the offenders and give it to brands that get it right by showing their inappropriate products with alternatives from with companies that get it right.
There’s only so many black owned brands to go around for every black woman. Ntm, why should we be pigeon holed when we make up the general (public; audience) just like any and everybody else. Just bc someone wants something (for once, truly) from this brand doesn’t mean they don’t support or go to and for those other brands. Yes go where you’re appreciated but you shouldn’t always have to go out of your own way to do that, and stay there. You should be able to be all the way out and abt.
Every creator talking about the blush: “My issue with the product is its marketing, claiming it is universal and the obviously edited images showcasing the blush on darker skin.” Three billion IQ people in the comments: “Its not for you duh”
I get stares EVERYWHERE I go no 🧢. I am my skin and I put that shit on. People are in awe of me especially when I dress like I’m the one . People are INTIMIDATED by a dark skin woman with high self esteem. They are caught off guard. I know haters be like “how dare she”😂😂😂😂
It pisses me off when people say shit like, ‘Oh its not made for darker skin tones’. Why is it not marketed for pale people then??? Why are they trying to make it universal when it clearly isn’t? Why make someone waste their money on a product that isn’t for them then?
I think Sudanese people are the most uniformly beautiful people, period. And she is no exception. I haven't come across one even remotely unattractive.
Unless you live somewhere there is a low chance of "unattractive" people from a country promoted to you especially in another country. The exception are the rare few countries that are more into talent and skills than looks
@sugarzblossom8168 They are still beautiful 😍😍😍😍 Their skin is exceptional! I have ALWAYS ALWAYS loved the way they looked, but my favorite is their skin, you can tell GOD is an artist just by looking at them. Dark skin should be the beauty standard if a standard ever needed to exist. ❤️❤️❤️
I love South Sudanese people , i’m a real fan of Ajak Deng , they’re the prettiest black people , tall , healthy, beautiful face features , the brightest ebony complexion unlike Senegalese who are sometimes off / dull. But i don’t like the North Sudanese features while they are light skinned …
I hope they do send her new shades and that she films herself giving it to a shelter or throwing it away without even opening it. Demonstrate fully that it is a marketing tactic that won't work any more.
Beautiful dark brown Queens look at Mac it came from are makeup artist for women of every shade and color. Black women you are beautiful every shade and color. All queen are beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Black women deserve to feel like their beauty is being recognized. Brands sending products to women with dark complexions are slapping them in the face like it's some kind of prank, knowing they won't be able to use them. I struggle to find complexion products in America because of how fair my complexion is, but I genuinely can't imagine how much worse that would be for someone with a deep, rich skin tone. Y'all deserve so much better than this.
I'm caucasian, but my dad is Roma (gypsy) and there a little bit of South Asian on my mom's side so I'm very olive. No way in hell this would work on me and I LOVE purple blushes. I guess it could be a highlight- maybe. But BLUSH?? STFU. This won't work on 90% of humanity. And that's okay, but don't gaslight women into thinking they're the problem.
I'm 🏻 af, but I have a yellow undertone. This blush wouldn't work for me either, even though I typically buy the lightest shade of foundation in most brands. It is not a universal shade.
12:40 it’s rage-baiting. Utterly ridiculous. Everyone needs to prove them wrong and boycott them. You have to hit these companies in their pockets. Remember, YSL is also a legacy brand, as is L’Oréal - they need to be taught a lesson. Support the people that look like you first, and that make better products anyway for a better price!
I am not a dark skin woman but have always been infinitely grateful for the work that dark skin women do and have done to get us larger skin tone ranges in makeup. It has benefited all of us. But they still get the short end of the stick and harassment from inside and outside the black community. This was definitely a PR tactic by YSL and I love their perfumes but don’t want to support a company that uses outrage like this to advertise.
Honestly, the explanation that the woman gave regarding the process for selecting these colors is why I only purchase makeup from manufacturers who make products specifically for black women.
As an African American woman I think it’s safe to say that we don’t need anyone to represent us when it’s our aesthetic that’s being copied by every group of women on this planet
Fashion fair, MAC, black opal, Bobbi brown, NARS and makeup forever have always been some of the most inclusive brands or specialized for POC. But people turned their backs on their brands for these luxury companies or the brands influencers were pushing. Al someone who works in the industry during the social media boom I saw it with my own eyes. Go where you are celebrated.
I mean not evb turned their backs on them…they still have loyal customers and customers that circle back when they can or just “support” when they can. You shouldn’t have to be stuck where you’re actually appreciated when you’re easily one of their consumers too. It’s great going where you’re appreciated but you shouldn’t have to be stuck there bc evb else is still playing dumb dumb games.
@@Boohurghhoo I worked in Makeup for many years. The comments said about the brands I mentioned were appalling. Of course you shouldn’t have to stay in one lane but if certain brands clearly portray an image of disrespect towards certain skin tones money, time, or publicity shouldn’t be spent there. The loyal customers are keeping some of those brands alive such a Fashion Fair but as time goes on there are less of them.
But why don't those influencers just REFUSE to support any of those companies that are clearly anti black. Whether they be explicitly/implicitly so??? And that purple blush doesn't look good on any of those people's skin either.
If they were supporting them why would they drag them through the mud I know some people lack common sense but this is just ignor ance and we have black brands but very minimum and not well supported. And also children and people like me who never worn makeup buy these products and think it looks good
It was already mentioned that it's not just about "who it looks good on" but the fact that it's false marketing and that is bad, and ignoring that issue won't make it go away.
I'm so saddened by the last creator's post. I would havr followed her positive content. It is so sad that our community doesn't come together to lift each other up. Let's do better.
Thank you for airing these issues and sharing your platform with these other ladies. I hope that the messages being sent will be heard and help to effect change. Best wishes 👍🏾
Yt people always trying to police blk women and their "attitudes". They have no idea to be in 2024 and still have a hard time finding makeup while there's 50 shades of the same color of white. I've been having trouble finding makeup for my dark skinned mother for years now, its very tiring and frustrating. If you had your shade in every makeup brand then of course you wouldnt understand the frustration and really need to stfu.
Dear black women conversations are like this are meant to keep you angry while many people are collecting coins from it. Everything said is true but don’t forget to breathe and live your best life. ❤
I feel so sad for Gollooria... she was just trying to spread awareness.... I used to find her a little annoying, but that was not because of her. It was an issue with my own self I hadn't seen her on my page in a while, and I'm just finding out this happened.... and it just sucks.....
At age 40, I’m old enough to know that I didn’t learn to even apply foundation properly until I was about 30 years old, due to lack of options in the beauty industry back then. I have a simple rule: I *my* copper-brown complexion wasn’t ALREADY INCLUDED in your makeup line before Fenty Beauty, I don’t wear your products. Sadly, MAC discontinued my shade NC 46 (I’m trying to figure a way to reach them to let them know how upset that I am). YSL and/or L’Oréal did this INTENTIONALLY. I’m not demanding to be included when I work the same 40-hour work week for the same money. I don’t purchase makeup from brands that only became inclusive after Fenty shocked the beauty industry with 60 shades.
How is the issue of inclusion still a thing in 2024? Just blows my mind😮 I mean do companies want to be crucified by customers, surely please surely they must know that these products are anything but inclusive? Are we back to Hourglass days? Oh mannnn
I think she is absolutely gorgeous, it's so sad to hear how she is getting bullied for who she is, no one should be bullied for any reason. It's disgusting. Whatever happened to treat others how you would like to be treated?
As a dark skin woman we mostly are considered no desirable or deserved of respect. No matter how soft spoken, well dressed, educated you are. I get respect when I'm with my white husband and is heartbreaking.
The actual disrespect to send these products as pr despite knowing they won’t work on their skin tones. You want these influencers to promote your product even though you won’t cater to them … you want the label of “inclusivity” despite excluding everyone with a skin color darker than paper-white …. Yikes
Aww I love j Marie But I did unfollow her years ago ironically when I transitioned to a more modest style. Just cleaned up my timeline to reflect my inspo but I’m def gotta circle back and support her again. Makes me so sad the hate that she has received.
Honestly there’s colorism everywhere. I’m East Asian and even East Asian foundation is too light for me at the darkest shade. Like that pale lavender would look awful on me. They only cater to pale skintones even though a lot of east Asians aren’t pale. These companies need to do better
Sounds like jealousy. Her skin is beautiful! I must add that I’ve never found a foundation that works for my skin color and tone (summer or winter). Even when I hire professionals, it’s always too ashy/light. I’m 61 yr old. Still searching, as a result, I don’t wear foundation.
NYX lavender/ light pink 6:22 butta blush is a great example of a light blush that can work on all skin tones beautifully. That formula is veryyy universal and proves that it’s not just about the color. If NYX can do it YSL should be able to too. That concept though was clearly not on any mind cause they don’t care for it to be 🤷♀️
3:58 Alexis brings up a great model (DEI), which was actually recently changed to DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion, and *belonging*) to emphasise a feeling of community rather than a facade of one. Representation is important, but it shouldn't be accomplished through token minorities. There's also another proposed model, DEIA (the A standing for "accessibility"), but that's off topic. I guess the newest acronym should be DEIBA? For the beauty industry, the "B" definitely isn't considered as much as it should be. Including swatches on darker skin tones is great ... if they're actually accurate. But creating fake "inclusive" colours shows a lack of true consideration for the community. At that point, it's purely for show.
I just don't understand why anything needs to be inclusive anymore. There are plenty of black owned beauty brands that have products that would never work for me. There are also many "white" owned beauty brands that have products that would never work for me. Instead of expecting every product by every brand to have a shade or formula that works for me...I seek out the things that I know would work my coloring and tone regardless of who makes it. Being very fair with an odd undertone makes it so that it's very difficult to find proper foundation shades. But I'm not throwing a hissy fit about it and demanding every brand be "inclusive" to my particular skin. That's just a narcissist take on this topic. If you don't find things that work for you or if you disagree with the ethos of a particular brand... just don't give them your money. It's much easier than doing all of this.
Why is okay for black cosmetics to not include colors for light skin tones? Why is it always one sided with this racism thing. Just use what brands work for you and move on. People think they deserve special treatment from everyone . Thats the racist part.
I want to just hold her. As a dark skinned girlie who was around when we ONLY HAD Iman’s make up line not show up as ashy, I will protect her at all cost. Imagine going to get your makeup done for prom like all your friends and coming home in tears because you look a gotdamn messsssss and the only excuse you got was “ your skin is too dark”. This was 2004. How dare yall come for this girl! The work dark skin creators have done to get shade ranges that actually match our skin tone and under tones is immense, just so yall can now say “ just use something else”…. Bruh!! Go back 20 yrs and tell little ol me to “use something else” so I can ask you “ what else?! There is nothing”. There is no feeling so disheartening then knowing the skin God gave you is seen as bottom barrel. Protect our dark skin creators at all cost. They have crawled and walked so yall can run, now stop running your mouths disrespectfully.

@@tintamanenguthank you for creating your amazing content, and spreading awareness. I know its not easy, so know I appreciate your hard work.
Are these kids too young to remember the days of 15 pale beiges and only 3 shades of tan foundations with the same orange undertone and no testers? Using eyeshadow as blush?
YSL lied. Literally just market it to pale girls. And they presented it that it also applied to darker skinned people.
Facts 💯 %
Ppl were actually flagging her account because she post femininity content???? The self hate is real WOW 😮
Apparently it's performative. But they didn't have a problem when she was posting provocative content.
She is so beautiful, classy and obviously people are threatened by her self love, figure and her perfect facecard 💳 ✨️🫶🌸🌸🌸
It’s probably white women tbh
for real!!
Who are we talking about? Golloria?
They don't have to worry about including me. I'm not paying $40 for blush🙃
OMG!!! YES! YES! YES! you're the one amongst a few majority of the people that I come across having the most logic and practical thinking as a consumer.
Who the F wants to buy that s*hole product with that price point whereas we can get a satisfied purchases not only in performance but also come with more affordable prices from the other brands. Right????
even if you're fair you can buy better honestly for a much MUCH less steep price
@@khairularchithat’s not the point at all though.
Heeeeyull naw! 😂
@@alwaysannoyedforever518 correct, that's not the point but in the bigger picture of beauty industry with the current economic situation as a whole, it is very much logical yet practical Indeed.
Free advertising by abusing bw, as usual…two birds with one stone.
🎯🎯🎯
We were getting to uppity and full of ourselves. They had to take us down a peg or two.
She's not FBA. She's an immigrant.
There truly is no other reasonable explanation at this point. Hope Golloria and all black makeup creators take care of their mental health above all.
That's the only option that makes sense, because there's no way they thought that this would pass. Maybe they know their target audience wouldn't care.
"Being black is your entire personality" more like "calling out the lack of inclusion and basic knowledge on deeper skin tone composition in the cosmetic industry is the FOCUS OF HER CONTENT"...since when do people expect a social media account to be fully representative of one's lifestyle and personality??? Golloria was doing underrated work, testing these different shades and formulations, It's so disappointing she was bullied off her platforms. What ever happened to just not watching someone's content that you don't like instead of harassing them?
EDIT for all the people saying she's begging companies, it's a bad look and not all companies need to cater to darker-skinned audiences, that's true. Not all companies need to cater to all skin tones. HOWEVER, very many companies use swatches of their product that clearly won't work for darker-skinned people but make it look like it does on their sites. For example, the YSL lavender blush. On the swatch on the model on their own website, it looked like a vibrant purple blush with no ashiness, however IRL, the blush is made with a white base so anyone beyond a certain depth of skin colour will look ashy in it bc of colour theory. Example 2, the Youthforia. If you don't want to cater to darker skin tones, don't. But don't go making a jet-black colour and then be audacious enough to swatch it on a dark-skinned model and put it up on the site as something that should work. Finally, as an example of how this kind of advocacy for inclusivity can be positive, after reviews from darker creators, namely miss Darceii, TirTir revamped their cushion foundations to be inclusive in every sense of the word because they knew they wanted to expand their target audience to westerners and took the criticism and changed their products. As a company, they are now thriving.
And they're always like "well you don't have to buy it" THEY SENT IT TO HER?
As a black person I do not need another black person to make content that is poor me poor me content
For example when they beg companies to include us when there are companies that already include us it doesn’t make sense respectfully in 2024 you can find a foundation in your shade
What do I think women were doing 20+ years ago they were making it work
Her content opens the door for white people to make content against black owned companies that don’t do shades for them and criticise the company and complain that the company is not inclusive remember was good for the goose is good for the gander there’s not one rule for one race and another rule for another race that’s exactly what us black people have been fighting against right
@@pastellatte2006 i’d say she got what she asks for.
respectfully she makes content complaining about companies not making make up suitable for dark skin and she received make up not suitable for dark skin she made a video and it didn’t work in her favour.
Even if a person says she didn’t have to buy it will go deeper than that she didn’t have to use it and after using it she didn’t have to make a video she chooses to call people out
I can't believe they said to her that "being black is your entire personality." I would have said "duh? And? so?" We can't walk around and pretend that we are not the skin colour that we were born with and what that represents? Like people who say they are not political. Well the colour of my skin is political just by being non-European/ Non-Fair Asian because people have to lobby elected government representatives to ban dangerous bleaching creams...all over the world. I can't believe that they basically tried to gaslight her part of her identity especially as it is not something that she can change.
They will never say that white beauty gurus only personality is "omg wow the blend" and "I really slayed this look yall"
Why would they send to her products that are clearly not her shade💀
What was the thought process, why would someone even do something like that….
Those korean brands do the samething to darcei, and it doesn't sit right with me at all
Rage baiting = views = money. Simple and plain. They live by “all PR is good PR, even bad PR”
A ton of companies just send a sample of every product they're launching, regardless of skintone. It's ridiculous and wasteful.
not to sound like a hater but they dont check who theyre sending what to, if ur on the list youre gonna get the same thing everyone else is getting. Now id also like to point out, not all makeup is gonna be for you, thats something heavely ignored in the makeup community and its just plain ignorant, if you think it doesnt look good on you, move on and go to the next product.
Normally an influencer probably wouldn't review it, but they know what she does, they knew she was going to show it doesn't work.
That "exposing golloria" tiktok slide lit me on fire, istg. I encourage everyone to go and explain WHY it's ridiculous to blame a creator for reviewing products that were sent on a PR package, products that were advertised to work on ALL skin tones. Please yall 😂😂

@@marleyhill34wow that's great ma'am, thanks for sharing 😂👍🏼
I'm confused. I thought she was a hero and inclusivity was the thing. When people are unreasonable, they switch up so quickly, I guess the outrage switches. It's unreasonable to be mad at brands that they're not inclusive if they never claimed they were, but it's completely reasonable to call out brands for being fake and branding their products incorrectly. This product won't even work on most white people. I doubt that I would be able to wear this blush and I'm light. It's beyond me how YSL had the nerve to market this as a product for everyone and thought they were going to be slick. They'll still get outrage for making the product just for light people but it would've been way less than it is now.
@@GabbieCh For the first part you said about brands who dont claim inclusivity; while i think ppl shouldn’t attack one brand but shoukd still support and push for more inclusive brands overall.
“Your skin tone is your entire personality” she’s making videos of makeup, and doing reviews to help other women of color with their makeup since the industry usually focuses on pale skin. Why is that so hard for people to grasp😭😭😭
Preach!
Racism is whatever the opposite of charitable is 😢
@@diminarchyooh..😮 that’s good! Also logical too since, that was clearly never on the drawing board when they went over every thing they’ll put out stemming from that. Whether they think and believe it’s obvious and is or not.

Because it is nonsense, especially for smaller brands to not produce for the majority that actually buys their products. Try being a woman with really large feet - shoe companies aren't "inclusive"
Why is inclusivity always a virtue? Y'all skipped that part of the conversation and just take it as a religious presupposition. Go on, argue why society needs to care about inclusivity as a top priority 🍿 not a single person ever has, show me your big brains, be the one.

@@cordulamMost people on the planet are not white. So your big foot analogy is dumb.
The lady with the blue background is spot on! These brands know what they are doing. It’s all a PR stunt to get more visibility for their brand, only so they can turn around and say “we hear you and will be more inclusive.” Only to have a relaunch while everyone is now watching and will buy.
Btw you got a blue comment!!

“It’s not meant for your skin tone” then why is it marketed towards all skin tines if it only works on a certain group?
Ysl was just trying to stir up controversy. That white lavender blush will not work for anybody
@ I was thinking the same thing. Only person who I saw actually suit it was actually an albino friend of mine.
@@brendamoon2660 Not sure about that. In England lots of people are incredibly pale
@@erenjeager4308 they should be included in makeup too. But the product needs to be properly marketed.
I felt her pain. As someone who is the darkest one in my family and who was so bullied in school about my dark chocolate skin color, it hurts. The “you’re too dark” comments - in school, people would say if the lights were turned off, I’d disappear or say “too ugly to be forgotten” referring to my dark skin because being dark was seen as ugly. I just want to embrace all dark skinned women and assure them that it will be okay. Today, I’m in my 50’s and it’s taken me this long to love my deep, dark, beautiful skin color. I’ve learned that if someone doesn’t like it, that’s their problem, not mine. I feel that we have to start with ourselves first. Stop tearing down other beautiful black women. Accept that all our shades are incredible and then go from there.
I must ask, turning 50, doesn't it feel amazing that your skin looks like you're closer to 30? It's the melanin. It IS the darkness that preserves. Enjoy your forever youth and continue to enjoy the blessing of Darkness❤
I honestly laugh at people who say ignorant things like this. Same thing happened to me in school but the gag is I would never wanna look like they asses 😂 I love my darkskin and wouldn’t change it for nothing. They really hate themselves and wanna be white or something but I’ll pass lol I think everyone is beautiful in their own way and people need to stop projecting it’s so annoying and they need to get therapy lol
Cause soon as something racist happens to them they crying but when another from their own community speaks up about their struggles it’s like just shut up. They are honestly just dumb. Cause majority of this comes from other “black people” yes other races do it too but ALOT of black people project the worst. That’s in my experience

EXACTLY! I am in my late fifties, and I always felt this way too growing up, the mean things people would say. I wasn't consider the beautifies in high school people picked on me, was abusive toward me. After high school some of the same guys, have the nerve to ask me out, and most of them are not worth my time, not to mention some of the female who thought they were the bomb, if you look at some of them, you would not believe that they are the same people. Yes I was one of the girl that was called ugly, because I was dark skinned, but I love myself.
I’m so happy larger creators are defending her.
YSL lied. Literally just market it to pale girls. And they presented it that it also applied to darker skinned people. We have that shade in a local makeup brand and they SPECIFICALLY state it's for FAIR with cool toned skin. 🤦🏻♀️
It doesn’t even work for some pale girls tho, that’s the thing. It’s not that hard (I mean you would think) to not false advertise every time you have a new launch. If you don’t want or are not going to have actual full well diversity and inclusivity for everyone-stick to that and stand up on that, so everyone is well aware. But don’t bs, and then act a way when you’re called out.
YSL would never be an inclusive brand.
Even Lancôme and Clarins still reluctant.
what's messed up is making a blush for extremely fair skin wouldve still been inclusive but it's clear ysl only thought about dark skin inclusivity as if that's the only type of inclusivity
@@Boohurghhooyes it does. Idk why girls who are tan call themselves pale but they’re not. Actual pale girls have been left out of the makeup industry and forgotten about. This should have never been marketed as universal but some shades like the pasty lavender does in fact work on extremely pale skin.
Robert Welsh tested the same blush, and guess how it looked like on him? WHITE. It looked like matte highlighter on his pasty-pale British skin. There's just no way this should have ever be marketed as "suitable for all skin tones" shade when it barely works for people with pale skin.
It should’ve been a color corrector tool.
I love Robert 😂😂
Not his "pasty-pale British skin" 😂
His mother is half Mexican and he's obviously not "pasty-pale", get your eyes checked
@@malloryknox6802 what does that have to do with anything? There are pasty pale Mexicans just like there are dark brown Mexicans. You need to get your brain checked.
Why are we so fixated on brands that aren’t inclusive to us? We need to focus on brands that are inclusive and mainly black owned brands from all over the world. We have to build our own up because we have the buying power.
I've ALWAYS wondered this. Like "okay? They don't have something for our skin tone, let's go to someone who does"
THIS IS WHAT I SAID TOO!!!! and yk know how our community(the black community) responded to me??? By screaming and yelling at me! Babes, wtf happened to not begging to be included and going where we're ALREADY included? There's SOOOOO many brands that either only focus on us or MOSTLY focus on us and we still wanna fight to be included in brands who have made it BLANTLEY clear they don't want shi to do with us 🙄
These companies are playing in our faces and we LET them, and then wanna complain about not being included
Exactly! We have other brands that give us what we need. When brands do this crap, great I don’t have to give them my hard earned dollars.
The problem is that they faked inclusiveness and we're calling them out for it because they're just putting us as a poster to make it seem like they're catering to us so they can get money, but I get your point
This is how I feel. If they don’t want my money I’m not going to beg them to take it. I get calling them out when they say they’re inclusive and they’re not, but some of these companies are obviously trying to get more publicity so they do this on purpose.
I will die on the hill that YSL targeted her the knew their products wouldn't work on her skin and that it would cause uproar. They did not care how it affected her mentally all they cared about was the views that they would gain from this conflict
This makes no sense, that would be bad for business. It's a PR package, they probably expected her to choose the darkest shade that would work for her
@@deonbrown9681 rage bait works for more that view it world for sales too
@@deonbrown9681I think someone actually commented that and the girl with the blue background said so
‘No PR is bad PR. So any PR is good PR.’
It's soooo simple: This Lavender shade is inclusive but not "ALL" inclusive. YSL promoted it as being "ALL" inclusive which this blush is not by showing people with dark complexion with this blush and advertising it as such. This is wrong. YSL sent this blush as a PR to Golloria so they should be prepared for the honest review. Hands off to Golloria for speaking the truth. End of story!
💚❤️
I'm gonna illustrate to you why that idea is bad. Both of the following number lists are inclusive.
List A = [0, 1]
List B = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ...∞]
Notice how one list includes every positive whole number, and the other only has 2. Yeah technically both are inclusive, because they both include numbers, but do you see how describing them both as inclusive lists comes across disingenuous? Suddenly the word "inclusive" is no longer helpful in telling you anything about these number lists other than "it has at least one number in it", which of course it does: It's a number list. Being a list with numbers is its entire purpose.
The same principal applies to makeup. Of course the shade works for specific people, it's a color meant to match human skin. Adding "all" or not means nothing when the blush achieves its intended look for a specific skin color (light neutral or cool toned skin). Everything does not need to be marketed as "inclusive". They could have just put out blushes for a full range of skin tones and had an inclusive collection, rather than lying about "universal" blushes.
No such thing as "too white" when it comes to fashion brands, and that's the problem
🗣️
I will never buy a YSL product ever again and I liked their perfumes. If you have to resort to deliberately instigating racism from your core customer base against black women, clearly you have told me you don't value me as a customer. Nope, YSL will never see my money again.
💚❤️We are only going where we are celebrated from here on
What did you expect from a brand that hurts animals for makeup and fashion??? Animal cruelty is a sign of psychopathy. And now only when they are targetting human skin color you wake up ?
The irony is that the man who created the brand was one of, if not the first French designer to include and center a black model in his work. He's done it on several occasions throughout his career when the rest of French Haute Couture was keeping their catwalks and photoshoots on the milky side mostly. 🙄 A sad turn for his legacy...
How deep does it go? Black women are policed from being soft, feminine, cute, or girly. It challenges the stereotype of the "man-ish, brute, and loud" black woman. Brands inform the beauty community, they're re-enforcing this stereotype. Doing this ON PURPOSE to further exclude black women from the "ideal beauty standard". Black women are BEAUTIFUL and we need to accept that fact!
Yup they don’t want bw wearing makeup
Men do this too “bw wear too much nails, makeup, lashes, and weave “ but they allow other women to wear the same. It is only bw that are requested to be plain jane
Legacy brand Estee Lauder had 58 shades of foundation back when Fenty launched with 40 shades, so YSL doesn't deserve a pass even if they add more shades. Not being inclusive at that price point is a _choice_.
@@denisha8596 faaaaaaccctttsssss!!! 💯
Exactly! The old school brands took a long while but inclusion existed before this newer brands. People just sleep on them because they are consider old or boring but there’s a reason why they’ve been around for 40, 60, 70 + years
Yeah, Lauder was the only brand that had my shade.
Don't forget Fahsion Fair!
I'm an Eastern European woman and I'm sad that in Eastern European beauty community, our women demonize dark-skinned women for being "spoiled" and "demanding" because of this lavender blush, when the issue wasn't about the blush itself but about how it was advertised. When I tried to address this issue, women harassed me in the comments because "we don't understand this Western obsession with inclusivity, not everything will work for everyone". Like, dark-skinned women, by their belief, don't even have a right to complain about false advertisement.
Isn't it funny how the people who so comfortably say "not everything will work for everyone" almost always have all the products work for them?
They don't complain because most things are tailored towards their skin tones.
The only reason they want Black Women, especially dark skinned Black Women to shut up is because they don't think Black Women are as deserving of care and understanding as other women. Let's just call it what it is.
Sounds about white
They're too lost on their preconceived view of “if black people complain then it's just drama” regarding westerners in general, to the point that they lack critical thinking because they believe they already have an all-knowing well established thinking
They're absolutely spoiled, entitled brats, it's their culture. They do it over everything. Show me when white or Asian create drama over something as petty as this.

The way colors like orange, royal blue, and bright yellow practically glow on their skin makes me wish I had darker skin.
No because harassing someone out of the internet over an overpriced blush you probably wont even buy is crazy
Evil behavior by the marketing team. Also very cynical of the "exposing golloria" person to use albino people as a point of argument, when it wasn't even marketed to them.
Some people (even in our community) don’t want you to succeed because of their personal beliefs. They’ve been conditioned to believe colourist rhetoric and are comfortable in it. Stay strong and safe, everyone. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
It's Crabs in a Pot mentality. And this mentality knows no boundaries, it is widely prevalent amongst all races of people. The essential gist is this: If they can't have it, neither can you. If you try to get it, and you come close, they will knock you down.
Trust me when I say, this is not exclusive to any race. This is one of the primary dynamics you will find amongst white people in western countries. Particularly, and unfortunately, women.

I guarantee you that Yves Saint Lauren did this to generate PR and sales. Because they will make more money off of some thing that people will buy because of drama, just to make videos about it, then they would off of a blush that was actually universal.
True, sadly
As someone who worked in marketing this strategy of “rage bait marketing” which I have constantly had arguments about ad-nauseam in board rooms NEVER works long time. This is why LVMH is suffering now after insulting the Asian market. I understand business and how it’s cutthroat but it’s also based on relationship and trust. Black women are one of the biggest markets sectors when it comes to the beauty industry but white supremacy in its sheer idiocy doesn’t care… until it will eventually hit their pockets.
^What did LVMH do to the Asian market?
If this was marketed towards pale skin, then none of this would've happened! Why was it marketed towards darker women??
Dark skinned girls like me, getting the short end of the stick, per usual *sigh*
I wanted to be light skinned so bad as a kid that i bleached myself. I didmt work (thankfully) but i got bullied everyday about how dark i was. Funny thing, wasnt coming from white people, it was coming from my black peers! Why do we do this 🫠
Simple. Post Traumatic Slave/Colonization Syndrome. And best believe if you were in the suburbs with the whtes they will bully you the same and worse.
That's how it is! It comes from the same race, sad!
It always comes from our own.. Black ppl are the most colourist to light skin and dark skin women. It the most disturbing when a dark skin woman is colourist to a woman that’s darker than her.
@@bonniewise-p1vit definitely comes from all races lol
The thing that annoyed me the most about this whole controversy is people kept moving goal post
First it was made for people with albinism or very fair skinned people
Then its a highligher/ base for Asian style of makeup
Next it was color corrector
Even though a quick Google search would have shown ysl marketing show women of a deeper completion for the promo pictures
Also this also shows me some people really don't understand color theory at all
Another thing what is wrong with wanting to live a nice life and try new things
The last woman you showed in your video looks like she is having fun and enjoying herself
Why does she have to act a certain way in order to show she is being "real or true to herself"
If she is happy and having fun being herself that is what matters
Sephora uses models with dark skin tones for very light products. It seems to be their attempt at inclusivity but it's just annoying because all it shows is who it won't work for. I like it when they use atleast 3 models to cover the spectrum for each shade.
She got bullied off her platform??? I’ve followed her since the beginning and this is genuinely sickening.

How is it indi brands can get get it right while the other can't? Purposely done or straight racism u pick. How ever it goes it's all badd!
I agree
Black people come up as the highest beauty consumer due to hair care inclusion. Even then, we're talking billions of dollars (trillions worldwide) and that should not be dismissed. It's also 2024 and almost a decade ago, Fenty showed these other pretentious brands that it can be done. I've stopped shopping with any makeup brands that treat Black skin like an afterthought.
Edit: Forgot to add that, like the clued on ladies said, some of these companies are intentionally rage bait marketing. Black women need to get on code, ignore them by adding them to the 'Do not patronize' list. Shop with those who cater to us. Take business away from the offenders and give it to brands that get it right by showing their inappropriate products with alternatives from with companies that get it right.

Just bc someone wants something (for once, truly) from this brand doesn’t mean they don’t support or go to and for those other brands. Yes go where you’re appreciated but you shouldn’t always have to go out of your own way to do that, and stay there. You should be able to be all the way out and abt.
😂 Those blushes won't work for any one with ANY kind of melanin or undertone.
Right? Looks great on albino though lol
Every creator talking about the blush: “My issue with the product is its marketing, claiming it is universal and the obviously edited images showcasing the blush on darker skin.”
Three billion IQ people in the comments:
“Its not for you duh”
I get stares EVERYWHERE I go no 🧢. I am my skin and I put that shit on. People are in awe of me especially when I dress like I’m the one . People are INTIMIDATED by a dark skin woman with high self esteem. They are caught off guard. I know haters be like “how dare she”😂😂😂😂
This is the best comment I've ever read in my life.
It kills them all the time, I mean the confidence.
That’s why they try so hard to tear y’all down. Keep shining sis.
People hate what they don't understand.
This comment is actually very true!!!
I hate how brands like YSL exploit POCs with rage bait like this.
It pisses me off when people say shit like, ‘Oh its not made for darker skin tones’. Why is it not marketed for pale people then??? Why are they trying to make it universal when it clearly isn’t? Why make someone waste their money on a product that isn’t for them then?
I cannot believe that people run this beautiful woman off the internet.😢
Good 😂
I think Sudanese people are the most uniformly beautiful people, period. And she is no exception. I haven't come across one even remotely unattractive.
Unless you live somewhere there is a low chance of "unattractive" people from a country promoted to you especially in another country.
The exception are the rare few countries that are more into talent and skills than looks
@sugarzblossom8168 They are still beautiful 😍😍😍😍 Their skin is exceptional! I have ALWAYS ALWAYS loved the way they looked, but my favorite is their skin, you can tell GOD is an artist just by looking at them. Dark skin should be the beauty standard if a standard ever needed to exist. ❤️❤️❤️
Yesss we are unique 😊
@@NoodleDoodle-w5yall skin tones should be the beauty standard.
I love South Sudanese people , i’m a real fan of Ajak Deng , they’re the prettiest black people , tall , healthy, beautiful face features , the brightest ebony complexion unlike Senegalese who are sometimes off / dull.
But i don’t like the North Sudanese features while they are light skinned …
I hope they do send her new shades and that she films herself giving it to a shelter or throwing it away without even opening it. Demonstrate fully that it is a marketing tactic that won't work any more.
That girl’s fiancé and dad are awesome.
💚❤️
Beautiful dark brown Queens look at Mac it came from are makeup artist for women of every shade and color. Black women you are beautiful every shade and color. All queen are beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That’s why I only buy my makeup from Mac & Fenty. I have no time to waste on any other brands.
Black women deserve to feel like their beauty is being recognized. Brands sending products to women with dark complexions are slapping them in the face like it's some kind of prank, knowing they won't be able to use them. I struggle to find complexion products in America because of how fair my complexion is, but I genuinely can't imagine how much worse that would be for someone with a deep, rich skin tone. Y'all deserve so much better than this.
😂😂😂😂😂
Anytime I uncover a company who have issues with my race or skin color, I discontinue spending my money with them. Period. Next!!
I'm caucasian, but my dad is Roma (gypsy) and there a little bit of South Asian on my mom's side so I'm very olive. No way in hell this would work on me and I LOVE purple blushes. I guess it could be a highlight- maybe. But BLUSH?? STFU. This won't work on 90% of humanity. And that's okay, but don't gaslight women into thinking they're the problem.
I'm 🏻 af, but I have a yellow undertone. This blush wouldn't work for me either, even though I typically buy the lightest shade of foundation in most brands. It is not a universal shade.
12:40 it’s rage-baiting. Utterly ridiculous. Everyone needs to prove them wrong and boycott them. You have to hit these companies in their pockets. Remember, YSL is also a legacy brand, as is L’Oréal - they need to be taught a lesson.
Support the people that look like you first, and that make better products anyway for a better price!
I am not a dark skin woman but have always been infinitely grateful for the work that dark skin women do and have done to get us larger skin tone ranges in makeup. It has benefited all of us. But they still get the short end of the stick and harassment from inside and outside the black community. This was definitely a PR tactic by YSL and I love their perfumes but don’t want to support a company that uses outrage like this to advertise.
Honestly, the explanation that the woman gave regarding the process for selecting these colors is why I only purchase makeup from manufacturers who make products specifically for black women.
As an African American woman I think it’s safe to say that we don’t need anyone to represent us when it’s our aesthetic that’s being copied by every group of women on this planet
Fashion fair, MAC, black opal, Bobbi brown, NARS and makeup forever have always been some of the most inclusive brands or specialized for POC. But people turned their backs on their brands for these luxury companies or the brands influencers were pushing. Al someone who works in the industry during the social media boom I saw it with my own eyes.
Go where you are celebrated.
I mean not evb turned their backs on them…they still have loyal customers and customers that circle back when they can or just “support” when they can. You shouldn’t have to be stuck where you’re actually appreciated when you’re easily one of their consumers too. It’s great going where you’re appreciated but you shouldn’t have to be stuck there bc evb else is still playing dumb dumb games.
@@Boohurghhoo I worked in Makeup for many years. The comments said about the brands I mentioned were appalling. Of course you shouldn’t have to stay in one lane but if certain brands clearly portray an image of disrespect towards certain skin tones money, time, or publicity shouldn’t be spent there. The loyal customers are keeping some of those brands alive such a Fashion Fair but as time goes on there are less of them.
NARS don’t have my foundation shade but I like their concealer in the color amanade
But why don't those influencers just REFUSE to support any of those companies that are clearly anti black. Whether they be explicitly/implicitly so??? And that purple blush doesn't look good on any of those people's skin either.
She clearly wasn't supporting it. She dragged them, literally said it was trash. Wym
If they were supporting them why would they drag them through the mud I know some people lack common sense but this is just ignor ance and we have black brands but very minimum and not well supported. And also children and people like me who never worn makeup buy these products and think it looks good
It was already mentioned that it's not just about "who it looks good on" but the fact that it's false marketing and that is bad, and ignoring that issue won't make it go away.
They have money and bills to be made. Kinda like how blk ppl work at places that they know is mistreating them. Bills gotta be paid
No blush should have a white base wth ...
At this point, i would only mess with fenty products
Everyone should defend Golloria. She’s amazing.
I'm so saddened by the last creator's post. I would havr followed her positive content. It is so sad that our community doesn't come together to lift each other up. Let's do better.
Look her up on TikTok- themakingofjmarie, her content is actually great.
Thank you for airing these issues and sharing your platform with these other ladies. I hope that the messages being sent will be heard and help to effect change. Best wishes 👍🏾
I hope so too 💚❤️
Yt people always trying to police blk women and their "attitudes". They have no idea to be in 2024 and still have a hard time finding makeup while there's 50 shades of the same color of white. I've been having trouble finding makeup for my dark skinned mother for years now, its very tiring and frustrating. If you had your shade in every makeup brand then of course you wouldnt understand the frustration and really need to stfu.
But they never will…it’s always the unaffected over the affected.
@@Boohurghhoo very true 💕💕
1:37 this looks like a color correction sample
Dear black women conversations are like this are meant to keep you angry while many people are collecting coins from it. Everything said is true but don’t forget to breathe and live your best life. ❤
The sign off message was very well stated. Kudos to this brave young woman.
what is her name/tiktok handle ?
I feel so sad for Gollooria... she was just trying to spread awareness....
I used to find her a little annoying, but that was not because of her. It was an issue with my own self
I hadn't seen her on my page in a while, and I'm just finding out this happened.... and it just sucks.....
At age 40, I’m old enough to know that I didn’t learn to even apply foundation properly until I was about 30 years old, due to lack of options in the beauty industry back then. I have a simple rule: I *my* copper-brown complexion wasn’t ALREADY INCLUDED in your makeup line before Fenty Beauty, I don’t wear your products.
Sadly, MAC discontinued my shade NC 46 (I’m trying to figure a way to reach them to let them know how upset that I am). YSL and/or L’Oréal did this INTENTIONALLY. I’m not demanding to be included when I work the same 40-hour work week for the same money.
I don’t purchase makeup from brands that only became inclusive after Fenty shocked the beauty industry with 60 shades.
Ok, but doesn't that lavender shade remind anyone else of Edward Scissor Hands?
I kept thinking it reminded me of somethinggg…there it is! Also the vampire he played in…that one movie😅 abt something hearts😂
it’s definitely not universal..$40 hell no!!
How is the issue of inclusion still a thing in 2024? Just blows my mind😮 I mean do companies want to be crucified by customers, surely please surely they must know that these products are anything but inclusive? Are we back to Hourglass days? Oh mannnn
I think she is absolutely gorgeous, it's so sad to hear how she is getting bullied for who she is, no one should be bullied for any reason. It's disgusting. Whatever happened to treat others how you would like to be treated?
As a dark skin woman we mostly are considered no desirable or deserved of respect. No matter how soft spoken, well dressed, educated you are. I get respect when I'm with my white husband and is heartbreaking.
Just because other people say so it doesn’t mean it’s true, once you stop believing what society thinks of you, it gets better.
It's so bizarre this kind of stuff still happens nowadays, having to constantly defend things that are obvious, that should be the norm
She's very pretty. Her complexion is smooth and even. Sometimes insults come from envy...
The actual disrespect to send these products as pr despite knowing they won’t work on their skin tones. You want these influencers to promote your product even though you won’t cater to them … you want the label of “inclusivity” despite excluding everyone with a skin color darker than paper-white …. Yikes
Aww I love j Marie
But I did unfollow her years ago ironically when I transitioned to a more modest style. Just cleaned up my timeline to reflect my inspo but I’m def gotta circle back and support her again. Makes me so sad the hate that she has received.
What’s her page name? Can’t find her on TH-cam
Vote with your wallet. Simple as. If YSL or any other grotesquely overpriced brand pulls this sort of b.s. - they deserve to lose money.
Honestly there’s colorism everywhere. I’m East Asian and even East Asian foundation is too light for me at the darkest shade. Like that pale lavender would look awful on me. They only cater to pale skintones even though a lot of east Asians aren’t pale. These companies need to do better
Sounds like jealousy. Her skin is beautiful!
I must add that I’ve never found a foundation that works for my skin color and tone (summer or winter). Even when I hire professionals, it’s always too ashy/light. I’m 61 yr old. Still searching, as a result, I don’t wear foundation.
If you don’t say you like it, people get upset. So people only post the products they like, but that’s not good either
As someone who works in marketing (not for the company) , we have no creative control, we just do what we're told unfortunately
NYX lavender/ light pink 6:22 butta blush is a great example of a light blush that can work on all skin tones beautifully. That formula is veryyy universal and proves that it’s not just about the color. If NYX can do it YSL should be able to too. That concept though was clearly not on any mind cause they don’t care for it to be 🤷♀️
That lavender blush is frigging color correcting primer 😫
3:58 Alexis brings up a great model (DEI), which was actually recently changed to DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion, and *belonging*) to emphasise a feeling of community rather than a facade of one. Representation is important, but it shouldn't be accomplished through token minorities. There's also another proposed model, DEIA (the A standing for "accessibility"), but that's off topic. I guess the newest acronym should be DEIBA? For the beauty industry, the "B" definitely isn't considered as much as it should be. Including swatches on darker skin tones is great ... if they're actually accurate. But creating fake "inclusive" colours shows a lack of true consideration for the community. At that point, it's purely for show.
I just don't understand why anything needs to be inclusive anymore. There are plenty of black owned beauty brands that have products that would never work for me. There are also many "white" owned beauty brands that have products that would never work for me. Instead of expecting every product by every brand to have a shade or formula that works for me...I seek out the things that I know would work my coloring and tone regardless of who makes it. Being very fair with an odd undertone makes it so that it's very difficult to find proper foundation shades. But I'm not throwing a hissy fit about it and demanding every brand be "inclusive" to my particular skin. That's just a narcissist take on this topic. If you don't find things that work for you or if you disagree with the ethos of a particular brand... just don't give them your money. It's much easier than doing all of this.
i love how your page is bringing attention to situations like these, people are so ignorant
It's very simple, we won't be buying YSL.
I’m so sorry to hear this is going on within our community. She’s beautiful.
When I tell y’all that YSL’s darkest shade of foundation was too light for my pale behind back in 2017…this is beyond sick.
It was done on purpose. Their intentions were never to be inclusive.
Why is okay for black cosmetics to not include colors for light skin tones? Why is it always one sided with this racism thing. Just use what brands work for you and move on. People think they deserve special treatment from everyone . Thats the racist part.
Did you even watch the video?? She was sent the blush by YSL and it was marketed as inclusive -_-
😂😂😂Black people better be worried about what’s to come, not this foolishness. Your priorities are missed up! 😂😂
@@joan_34242nd coming of Christ, I suppose
🙄
❤❤❤ sending love, blessings, empowerment to my. Beautiful ladies.The struggle is never ending 🌹
It's a shame. This woman is beautiful. She helps other dark skinned women. What's wrong with haters?
As a black woman I always thought every range of our skin tone was absolutely beautiful. We have to stop.
but she's so beautiful!!!! People are so weird wtf???
Jesus it’s so simple. Mix blushes! Doesn’t Rihanna have a makeup line?
