people of colour we've gone thru too muuuuuch </3

as a person who is from south asia one thing that must be noted is the consumers of beauty products in south asian countries like india, nepal and pakistan is that truthfully majority of us find beauty products as absolute luxury items.. there arent alot of brands and heck there arent alot of people who have the time and money to invest in these beauty products.. usually the product existing are cheap and are made cheap by adding harmful chemicals most of them have traces of lead and mercury.. all these stuff really makes an average south asian person repel from buying beauty product like foundation.... along with that the makeup artist who does the bride's make up and the family members of the bride carry a single god damn pasty white foundation and compact powder.. south asians are really diverged and have totally different undertones and skintones.. and its just not viable to carry different foundations.. one might say they can just carry their own foundation and base make up but the truth is there arent any options in the affordable range along with the lack of general awareness about makeup..

That blue lining one shorts was way too funny!😂 Enjoyed this video anyways.❤

I've never understood this because "Krishna" literally means "dark" or "black" and yet Hindus around the world love Lord Krishna. Same with Draupadi-consistently portrayed as light-skinned in all TV serials yet her real first name was "Krishna" and she was described as being dark-skinned and beautiful in the Mahabharata.

Exactly 💯

Your Sabyasachi bag is beautiful! I recently bought a bag from their store and they had it in stock so was able to pick up the piece straight away! I went for the Loreto bag, which I know you said looks more European, but I picked the bag for that exact reason! I live in Europe and wanted a bag I can wear with most of my outfits! I love Sabyasachi and I want more people to be aware of the brand! Indian fashion needs to be global stage and this is me doing my part! I want people to ask me where the bag is from and learn more about the brand and hopefully fall in love with Indian fashion as well!

You literally look so stylish with those jhumkas❤️

SO TRUE PREACH ARGHHHHH

In some Indian serials, there's a really unfair way they show skin color. Like there was this one show, a beautiful girl is made to darken her skin to look ugly, as if being dark-skinned means you're not attractive. I find this idea disgusting because it pushes the belief that only fair skin is beautiful. like tf .But on the other hand, there’s another serial where a dark-skinned girl has been treated badly all her life but learns to accept herself and stand up to these beauty standards. While that story is more positive, it’s sad that such wrong ideas about beauty are still shown on TV. These kinds of shows really shape how people think about themselves and others.

This is it!i have brown skin and im quite dark.i was made so insecure because of people around me saying that my younger sister both are quite fair skinned like my dad and they look so beautiful too.i felt that it was unfair that my sister get to have that fair skin and i dont. i would literally put on many many creams soap to fix my skin colour and did some bizzare things just to get fair.after coming to college i watched many youtube videos about how to stop being insecure and worked on myself little by little. now i am not that insecure but little parts of that insecure self shows up every now and then and i would say that i am fine as i am.i affirm to myself that im more than just my skin colour.i learned how to respect myself cause of youtubers like you.the work i put on to fix my insecure self was so much. it took so much time for myself to feel comfortable on my skin.we shouldn't have the need to put this much work just to feel comfortable about ourselves.i wish these people would understand how they made these many people insecure.

White skin is the BEAUTY STANDARD in western. They just want to cosplay or don’t wanna look pale. It’s the biggest lie I've ever heard that they want tan skin. They NEVER admire natural tan skin

There is a difference between tan skin and extreamly tan skin. What the west loves is a lightly tan skin, that gives a youthful appearance a golden skin. And they compliment every woman who has that irrespective of the ethenicity. They really dont like extremely brown or black women.

I was already following you

im a naturally light skinned brown person, probably because i'm not fully brown actually because my mom is white. but i grew up around my father's pakistani side way more than my moms, and i have one auntie who's super beautiful and is dusky and on her wedding day my grandma said "you should've picked a lighter foundation, you look quite dark.." on her WEDDING day. and my father is quite dark skinned and my grandma always scolds my dad when he goes out in the sun because he "should avoid getting dark skinned", and my dad told me she's done this since he was a child. i love my grandma and although it's really messed up what she's saying, i don't completley blame her because she grew up in the 70s in Pakistan and is naturally dark skinned too and was bulied her whole life about it. so i think its kind of engraved into her brain, and it makes me so sad because dark skin is so beautiful.

This was so therapeutic to watch bestie ♥️so so proud of you. Love and adore the secret reveal at the end of the video too. God bless you xxx

They hate them selves and also hate black people . That was easy to solve

Omgggg i was literally waiting for someone to talk on this....like why is that shit still happening.

This is a topic that's close to my heart, because my mom had been subjected to colorism by various people in her life. Her parents never let her wear dark clothes because she would look hideous, her favorite color is violet and she never got to wear violet colored clothes because of them. People used to call her kaali. I kid you not, my mom is one of the most beautiful-looking women I have seen. Not because she is my mom but because she is very beautiful. Yet, people failed to see it because her complexion was a hindrance somehow?? Things change for her when she got married to my dad. My dad is one such person who never judged anyone based on their skin color. In the initial days he would bring her black sarees because to him she looked good in it. My mom would complain, "I am dark myself, why do you bring darker clothes? I don't look good." Another instance was when I was born, I became a source of pride for her because of my complexion. She showed me to one such person who called her kaali when she was young and said, "You guys criticized me for being dusky, now look I have a fair skinned daughter." It's crazy how colorism works and how it damages people's self confidence. I have a lot of stories about other people too and I personally saw how it affected them. Now, I educate people that no matter the skin tone, we should love ourselves. But sadly I understand it's the society that's a bitch!

Well as a fair skinny girlie, people literally think I am conceited because I am fare, like wtf, plus I seen people being Openly bullying dark skinned girlies like??I am telling you beauty standards in south asia is Skewed

I'm brown 🤎 girl from India and believe me white boys were more attracted to me 😂

The last one

❤❤

Such a good point!<3 I'm glad there are people out there who are not lost in the trend of over-consumerism

Love this bag ❤ How is your gold hard wear holding on your chain and the cc lock? Any issues like chipping or discoloration?

you're so underrated 😭😭

I not think this comment would be see but anyway I m from Bangladesh and from a samll city i all ways see many ad where if you were fair you are pretty and if dark skin you need to fix it. Im not it's not very dark or very fair im guessing light brown or something. But when i was just a kid i always want to be fair. I always use my mom's face cream in me i was bully when i was kid by a boy who call me ugly. it always makes me sad. My parents are literal god saints. They always tell me i was pretty in my own way. To the point of going my school and complaint to the principal. They don't care about my skin colour. They care about my health. I have to that school in the October because of my bullying. My parents always said i was beautiful and they love me. Im a teen now and i not insecure about my skin colour. we want is just assurance from people that we care about. From parents, friends, relatives that we are enough for them. I sorry for people who tell you not enough for because of your skin colour just you know there are people who will love for you not for you skin colour. So be confident in your self.

The reason why we see more Indians in western ad/fashion is because they have buying power due to high income and education levels of their population. It’s good to see

Please share the tips for good hair growth

This is absolutely insane. I'm white. Believe or not, I've been bullied in school in my country for being porcelain skinned because that looks sickly, etc. Also in my country people hate their natural hair color, which is often 'mousy' brown / 'dishwasher' blonde, all kinds of weird names, it's basically a color that changes, kinda. In some light it can appear brown, in some blonde. Polish people hate it and dye it intense, even colors so it's one color like bleached blonde, black, red. I'm the only woman in my family with undyed hair lol. If you compare with Japan for example, their hair is naturally black but there's lots of dyes available with these muted, light hair colors. It's literally like you can't enjoy what you naturally have, you have to blow all your money on completely changing yourself! I'm in Sri Lanka now, got so confused and creeped out by brown friend comparing our skin colours... I tried to explain it's fine, you look like this because you're from tropical country but people just don't listen, it's very deep rooted. Hope you don't mind me commenting on this video, the issue seems to be worldwide.

what is wrong with painting yourself white? White skin is the most beautiful, you shouldnt shame them for doing this.

We struggle from the same issue here in the middle east, like we're LITERALLY vertically under the sun like 98% of us are brown !! Yet still an issue for women no matter even if you're on the beauty standards in terms of body and face features, it's still not enough because of your skin color and you'll grow up listening all the time about how men want a white girl

Finally someone said it 😭💗

Oh my god Maryam, the bags look so good on you, love 💕💕

The only way to feel freedom in beauty is to appreciate your own beauty while not get distracted by other, potray your beauty by your eues

Colonialism played a big role in this! Ancient Indians were very pro dark skin to the levels of singing songs in the praise of their dark skinned gods, namely Krishna and Ram. One of the most beautiful women in ancient Indian scriptures was Draupadi who was dark skinned! Colonialism and colonial ideas about beauty have ruined that part of south asia as a whole. It’s sad. Caste system doesn’t have much to do with that since some of the highest caste people can also be dark skinned.

You look beautiful girl, those brown trousers appear fabulous 💗

Hi , new subbie to your channel (🤎 😎 💛)

Hi im from India , also when u are fair/ light skin they tell u look young and when your brown they tell u look old is that fair? is dark skin unfair? :(

To be honest even thought this kind of a thought is reducing I can still hear my friends telling that people with white skin are prettier. I don't understand this obsession with white skin.

Thankfully, nobody tells me such things and they usually fall for me no matter what ...and yes if they say so (few I guess) I don't respect them either😂

Im from south India and I'm brown and my own elder sister is really really fair. I think i happened to know that i was considered ugly when i was 10 yrs old, since then i became cautious and happened to hear with my own ears some younsters from our church talking directly to me and my sister's face how dark sania (me) is as compared to her sister, relatives whenever theres a function after seeing me would comment that i went even more darker, in church the elderly started selecting only the fair girls to greet the guests. I was very much lonely growing up because of my skin colour and because of my wealth status, i am from a poor to average family. But my sister grew up in a very different atmosphere, everybody wants her, everybody wants to know her , talk to her , like i have my whole life suffered with racism, favouritism and pretty privilage. Now i am 19 and trying really really hard to heal myself and to love how i look . Its really hard though🙃

Hy glad someone spoke about it . I mentioned this issue in a comment section and the hate i got because they though i was disrespecting tanning. Like when did i ever say that . All i said that people are obsessed with western lifestyle yet they don't see their own hypocrisy is funny.

Because in America, first priority was the whites, second priority blacks, and back then, there was no option for a third things. Then came monolid looking Asians as third preference in America. Indians were rejected in all these categories. They couldn't get monolid eyes, so making their skin lighter (with a lighter shade of foundation) was the only option for them to fit in the western/American society. Still to this day, lighter skin Indians face less bullying in the west/America/Japan/Korea, etc. And that's why most Indians prefer to have lighter skin.

As you said everything is marketed to make you feel insecure of what you don't have. I'm from Spain and I would say here the beauty standard is being tanned. We are not that dark here but many people are naturally tanned. I've received many comments throughout my whole life like "Oh you are so pale'' and not as a compliment. I love tan skin but I've just accepted I'm pale. So sad wanting to make someone pale when there's no need to change one's colour. Getting a fake tan it's not good for your skin and these lighteing creams do not seem much safe for the skin either. It's crazy how beauty standards vary in each part of the world.

It’s interesting how white / Arab women act when someone close to vicinity compliment a south Asian person on their tanned skin. They have to start immediately complaining about their “pasty skin” to draw attention back on themselves and their “superior” skin.

finally someone that talked about this! this might be a bit off topic but a few days ago i came across a blackpill video titled 'why indian men are ugly' not being really familiar with what blackpill is i clicked on the video and like...why were most of the 'flaws' something they cant really do anything about?? for example 'funny accents' i find this extremely offensive and stereotypical and also cant forget the dark skin one, i thought criticizing someones skin color was racist or is it only racism when its about black people? people normalize indian hate on the internet wayy too much and am also talking about the 'indian people' who practically encourage this type of behavior 'im indian and i dont find this offensive' just because you dont find it offensive doesnt mean the 1.7 billion people in the country wont !
