I'm sure you all have figured out by now that I love makeup. However, what grinds my gears is that Black women, essentially all women of color, are left out. We're left out of magazines, we're left off of the store shelves, some brands only offer hi-yella, mulatto, and Sudanese as color options and it really pisses me off. It almost says to me "we're not interested in your money or making you look good." And if we are going to sip the real T it says "I don't understand Black skin and I'm not going to try to." Honestly, some lines have 8 different versions of ginger and can't give me a decent sun-kissed caramel. Anyway I say this to say despite being marginalized, ignored, whitewashed, pigeon-holed, and pretty much told our colors are too complicated to be dealt with, Black gurl you are beautiful. You're not just the sassy friend, or the "assertive" co-worker, or the nagging gf, or the loud customer on the phone. You are bold, you are strong, you are important, you are everything. So continue to be Black Gurl Fabulous!
