Please, Please PLEASE don't take offence to this video. I don't mean any harm. I love all races equally and this series is called the colour myth and not race myth. I decided to make this video because I was frustrated with poole telling me 'This colour looks nice on you, I never thought it would look good on someone of your skin tone'. I know many women of colour (Black, Spanish, Middle Eastern, Indian) have a hard time seeing themselves represented in ads, posters and makeup demos so I wanted to start of a series that presented more options that red lipstick and dark nail polish.
I have been told that I can not wear certain colours o f polish, blush, lipsticks and eyeshadows because I'm not fair skin and I don't want that myth transferring to the younger generations or living in the midset of the older/current generations. We, with our many shades can wear anything we feel confident. And I believe confidence can make anything look amazing.
