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.
"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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 🤦🏻♀️
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
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 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”😂😂😂😂
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❤
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 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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 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.
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 🫠
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'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.
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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.....
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”
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.
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 going to say something, and I believe in a lot of people are not going to take it seriously. The makeup industry is racist at the same time not racist. There is multiple makeup companies that are made specifically for One race and only for one race, also at the same time there is multiple makeup companies that are made for everyone. If you're going to be a beauty guru or content creator I feel like it's very important to know that. There is companies that are specifically made for black women and only for black women. There is companies that are made for every race and skin shades out there for the world. The makeup industry is very counterintuitive. The makeup industry constantly prove that they can be for and against any moment they have. The makeup industry again is very counterintuitive. Is almost like every side is right yet at the same time wrong, I'm simply speaking with logic and also observation. The last couple of minutes of the video Gloria and the other woman they were cocking it they were saying tea. What they both just said was fact, factual.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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 👍🏾
We have our own Black Brands of Make Up/Cosmetics from pioneering brand such as Fashion Fair to present day Fenty both of which are excellent & the many other Brands of Black Make Up in-between, so i cannot understand the need to even acknowledge yet alone consider make up/cosmetics that are not compatible nor are they manufactured by or for Melenated skin.👎🏾🤮 Could it be this Brand now requires Black consumers money? Happy to target & expliot non wyt consumers? YSL make up is not relevant or inclusive to women of colour it's just that simple🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ it's not a problem, we have our own top draw Brands of Black Make up/Cosmetics.😊
So glad I don't buy make up. Apart from mascara I'm au natural. My beauty regime is simple. I wash my face with water and place oil on my face. YSL or whoever not getting my money. Marketing doesn't fool me. I got more sense than money.
The company is playing in your face!! They are doing this to create controversy. Controversy creates free publicity. Very risky but that’s what I think they did
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.
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 🤷♀️
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 find this specific influencer to be annoying and self depricating. All she does is complain! When she complained about not having contour for her skin I was over it! The purpose of contour is to literally add shade and dimension back to the face. If you are already darker skinned..there is literally no way to mimick shadows on the face.. These blushes looked great on me and my friends. Everything is not for everyone🤷🏽♀️
One thing that I hate about saying that most of her detractors are fellow Blck people is that by default, her biggest supporters are fellow Blck people. I'm also tired of Blck people trying to force inclusion when the focus should be creating our own and being exclusive. Most of the world is darker skinned, so there is a huge market. YSL did this on purpose because look at the huge marketing this has created for them, which means more attention and more dollars. Idk how many times over 500 years those people have to tell you all that they don't deal with you.
My bf is a chemist. The answer is to be what is needed. If we aren’t even in the spaces where formulations are created-inclusivity will not happen consistently. I am not on that other app but I feel like seek to create a line for dark skinned women. We cannot expect yt people to consider what they literally have no experience in. And they keep telling us-to keep your coin. So keep it. PR or not you don’t have to feature companies that see you and your $ as an afterthought. Now the colorism-we know that a lot of times the only thing that can be deeply hued is a man but also that’s not even most of us . But internalized hate and bias is deadly. The only way we can get there is to be and of our own.
I took a really long hiatus from make up. Like from way back when I didn’t even understand I had an undertone. I’ve been back for not quite a year and have learned so much. It’s too bad this madness is happening and I don’t know everything but I do listen and it’s ok to do that so you can try to empathize even if you can’t truly understand. We do have eyes and ears to see and hear it going on. Everything is so deeply imbedded it must be called out for the change that’s needs to happen. Beauty is one of many spaces that needs change. This capitalist system is rotten to its core imo. Those in power of many if not all industries are ok with it all cause it works for them in every gd way. Then they keep us fighting with each other so we don’t ban together and fight them. You have to want to know and seek out the information so you can learn all that we weren’t taught in school on purpose. It’s no wonder they make so many things inaccessible to so many including education.
Sure, it's great that really pale people have something that works for them but women with really dark skin just don't have the same. Everyone deserves makeup that works, from the whitest white to the darkest chocolate. We all deserve some variety, not just ONE option. Once brands figure that out, they'll start making a lot of money. This comes from a pale skinned person who can't always find products that cover the redness in their skin without feeling like wearing face paint.
My heart goes out to these content creators. I do not create content but in my profession, I've had to work so much harder to achieve a seat at the table and to be heard and validated. It's heartbreaking to see what these beautiful women endure at not only the had of others but at our own. I've lived it and I had that for the subsequent generations to still have to endure it.
I was in her comments once and I said that I should not be the darkest shade of foundation that a line offers somebody thought it would be a good response to inform me that I'm not that dark so it's okay
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”.

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.
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.
Bro south Sudanese people are IT! I mean like their skin is amazing 😍😍😍😍 like dang
thank you 😏😏😏
@@NoodleDoodle-w5y I'm blown away every single time too.
🫶🏾🤎
Literally so stunning! 🤩🤩
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.
"I'm all for inclusivity BUT..."
Enough said. They're not for inclusivity.
Thats the sister of “ Im not racist BUT…”🧐🤨 cousin to “You’re not like other ___ ppl I’ve met” GTFOHWTBS
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.
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 brown lady with the white shirt, is so beautiful, that full brown skin ❤😍🥰
Right?! So beautiful she just glows
Aint she???🥰
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
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
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.
I’m so happy larger creators are defending her.
Black girls & women go through so much especially dark skin girls & women it’s sad we can’t even exist w/o being put down or attacked 😢
Yes 😢
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.
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.
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!
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.
@@KaeMaidenShe's not ADOS. She should support Black owned businesses.
Black beauty brands have a problem making it to tik tok for black Influencers to even promote.
Got to love when the people who have the least to do with the people who are affected most, are the ones talking the loudest. Proverbs 26:12.
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. 🤦🏻♀️
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
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
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”😂😂😂😂
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❤
😂 Those blushes won't work for any one with ANY kind of melanin or undertone.
1:22 me when i use my white mom's expired blush from 2001
😂😂😂
😭😭😭😂😂😂
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.
I cannot believe that people run this beautiful woman off the internet.😢
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 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.
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.
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 😊
No such thing as "too white" when it comes to fashion brands, and that's the problem
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.
No blush should have a white base wth ...
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.
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
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
If this was marketed towards pale skin, then none of this would've happened! Why was it marketed towards darker women??
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.
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.
At this point, i would only mess with fenty products
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
I'm not NOT BUYING
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.....
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”
Great video
Thanks!
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.
Sounds like jealousy. Her skin is beautiful!
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 going to say something, and I believe in a lot of people are not going to take it seriously. The makeup industry is racist at the same time not racist. There is multiple makeup companies that are made specifically for One race and only for one race, also at the same time there is multiple makeup companies that are made for everyone. If you're going to be a beauty guru or content creator I feel like it's very important to know that. There is companies that are specifically made for black women and only for black women. There is companies that are made for every race and skin shades out there for the world. The makeup industry is very counterintuitive. The makeup industry constantly prove that they can be for and against any moment they have. The makeup industry again is very counterintuitive. Is almost like every side is right yet at the same time wrong, I'm simply speaking with logic and also observation. The last couple of minutes of the video Gloria and the other woman they were cocking it they were saying tea. What they both just said was fact, factual.
I thought blush needa to be blended down but I agree everything is Not for everyone... maybe it was for Halloween??? Lol
Great video! 🫶🏼 New sub❤️
Hey jersey welcome 🤗 and thank you ❤️💜
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.
Start promoting brands that include you.
I fxcking hate this world, i hope i get reborn as an alien on a different universe 🙏
No offense, BUT as a Blk woman I could tell by looking at the shade
Some of y’all in these comments are giving ditzy and willfully obtuse.
😂😂😂Black people better be worried about what’s to come, not this foolishness. Your priorities are missed up! 😂😂
Hmm what’s about to come?
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!
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.
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.
❤❤❤ 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?
Look at that beautiful woman ! The skin color is amazing ,her skin glows wow,just wow!
A shame she was bullied for telling her thruth .
She's very pretty. Her complexion is smooth and even. Sometimes insults come from envy...
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
I love dark skin women ❤
I'm still trying to figure out why black woman wear blushes. We don't blush at all
It makes me mad. She's such a beautiful woman. We (black women) can be our own worst enemy sometimes.
No because harassing someone out of the internet over an overpriced blush you probably wont even buy is crazy
26:54 anyone know her name??
Themakingofjmarie on TikTok
The sign off message was very well stated. Kudos to this brave young woman.
ik think that a lot of women fo not need foundation or concealer. A natural skin tone is beautiful.
Everyone should defend Golloria. She’s amazing.
This pisses me off…. Dark skin is so beautiful!
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 💚❤️
People do and say the most but I wouldn't let anybody bully me off 💩
Also, this was a very good video.
Just toxic beauty culture
We have our own Black Brands of Make Up/Cosmetics from pioneering brand such as Fashion Fair to present day Fenty both of which are excellent & the many other Brands of Black Make Up in-between, so i cannot understand the need to even acknowledge yet alone consider make up/cosmetics that are not compatible nor are they manufactured by or for Melenated skin.👎🏾🤮
Could it be this Brand now requires Black consumers money? Happy to target & expliot non wyt consumers?
YSL make up is not relevant or inclusive to women of colour it's just that simple🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ it's not a problem, we have our own top draw Brands of Black Make up/Cosmetics.😊
So glad I don't buy make up. Apart from mascara I'm au natural. My beauty regime is simple. I wash my face with water and place oil on my face. YSL or whoever not getting my money. Marketing doesn't fool me. I got more sense than money.
The company is playing in your face!! They are doing this to create controversy. Controversy creates free publicity. Very risky but that’s what I think they did
That girl’s fiancé and dad are awesome.
💚❤️
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.
it’s definitely not universal..$40 hell no!!
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 🤷♀️
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 find this specific influencer to be annoying and self depricating. All she does is complain! When she complained about not having contour for her skin I was over it! The purpose of contour is to literally add shade and dimension back to the face. If you are already darker skinned..there is literally no way to mimick shadows on the face.. These blushes looked great on me and my friends. Everything is not for everyone🤷🏽♀️
One thing that I hate about saying that most of her detractors are fellow Blck people is that by default, her biggest supporters are fellow Blck people. I'm also tired of Blck people trying to force inclusion when the focus should be creating our own and being exclusive. Most of the world is darker skinned, so there is a huge market. YSL did this on purpose because look at the huge marketing this has created for them, which means more attention and more dollars. Idk how many times over 500 years those people have to tell you all that they don't deal with you.
My bf is a chemist. The answer is to be what is needed. If we aren’t even in the spaces where formulations are created-inclusivity will not happen consistently.
I am not on that other app but I feel like seek to create a line for dark skinned women. We cannot expect yt people to consider what they literally have no experience in. And they keep telling us-to keep your coin. So keep it. PR or not you don’t have to feature companies that see you and your $ as an afterthought.
Now the colorism-we know that a lot of times the only thing that can be deeply hued is a man but also that’s not even most of us . But internalized hate and bias is deadly.
The only way we can get there is to be and of our own.
I took a really long hiatus from make up. Like from way back when I didn’t even understand I had an undertone. I’ve been back for not quite a year and have learned so much. It’s too bad this madness is happening and I don’t know everything but I do listen and it’s ok to do that so you can try to empathize even if you can’t truly understand. We do have eyes and ears to see and hear it going on. Everything is so deeply imbedded it must be called out for the change that’s needs to happen. Beauty is one of many spaces that needs change. This capitalist system is rotten to its core imo. Those in power of many if not all industries are ok with it all cause it works for them in every gd way. Then they keep us fighting with each other so we don’t ban together and fight them. You have to want to know and seek out the information so you can learn all that we weren’t taught in school on purpose. It’s no wonder they make so many things inaccessible to so many including education.
Ok, but doesn't that lavender shade remind anyone else of Edward Scissor Hands?
Sure, it's great that really pale people have something that works for them but women with really dark skin just don't have the same. Everyone deserves makeup that works, from the whitest white to the darkest chocolate. We all deserve some variety, not just ONE option. Once brands figure that out, they'll start making a lot of money. This comes from a pale skinned person who can't always find products that cover the redness in their skin without feeling like wearing face paint.
My heart goes out to these content creators. I do not create content but in my profession, I've had to work so much harder to achieve a seat at the table and to be heard and validated. It's heartbreaking to see what these beautiful women endure at not only the had of others but at our own. I've lived it and I had that for the subsequent generations to still have to endure it.
So the brand don’t have a problem…but the people who probably aren’t going to buy it do ???😂
I would totally sub if they're on TH-cam. This is as close as I get to Tik Tok.
It's very simple, we won't be buying YSL.
I was in her comments once and I said that I should not be the darkest shade of foundation that a line offers somebody thought it would be a good response to inform me that I'm not that dark so it's okay
