Dark skinned black woman bullied off TikTok over a blush! Golloria and YSL controversy

Dark skinned black woman bullied of TikTok over a blush! Golloria George and YSL lavender blush controversy

[@delphiewitdaeyes]

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.

It’s probably white women tbh

[@sanjanat1085]

"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.

[@pastellatte2006]

And they're always like "well you don't have to buy it" THEY SENT IT TO HER?

[@Khadiyah01]

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

[@Khadiyah01]

[@marleyhill34]

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.

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.

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.

[@Grandma_Jizzzzzzzard]

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.

[@ElleStuart-u2z]

I agree

[@KaeMaiden]

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.

[@denisha8596]

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_.

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'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.

It makes me mad. She's such a beautiful woman. We (black women) can be our own worst enemy sometimes.

[@Haewoniist]

No because harassing someone out of the internet over an overpriced blush you probably wont even buy is crazy

[@ishmielmantooth3301]

26:54 anyone know her name??

The sign off message was very well stated. Kudos to this brave young woman.

[@xandrafrancois]

ik think that a lot of women fo not need foundation or concealer. A natural skin tone is beautiful.

[@klingonartdealer]

Everyone should defend Golloria. She’s amazing.

[@quincyjones5676]

This pisses me off…. Dark skin is so beautiful!

[@andresteelemusic5512]

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 👍🏾

[@tintamanengu]

I hope so too 💚❤️

[@TheMsHopelin]

Also, this was a very good video.

[@TessaBriggs-t7e]

People do and say the most but I wouldn't let anybody bully me off 💩

[@yuliazni3389]

Just toxic beauty culture

[@mercibiney37]

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.😊

[@katzwhite5962]

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.

[@Topself24]

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

[@BunniBeshara]

That girl’s fiancé and dad are awesome.

[@tintamanengu]

💚❤️

[@kl3321]

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.

[@AngieHart67]

it’s definitely not universal..$40 hell no!!

[@Pinkcrck]

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 🤷‍♀️

[@realmaureenoyakhilome]

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. ❤

[@Breonaleonard]

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🤷🏽‍♀️

[@squarebear619]

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.

[@cjinpa5713]

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.

[@AligningHer]

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.

[@FoxxyFire-HellFrost]

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.

[@LaineyBug2020]

Ok, but doesn't that lavender shade remind anyone else of Edward Scissor Hands?

[@jacquelinerenee3814]

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.

[@ivonjohn700]

So the brand don’t have a problem…but the people who probably aren’t going to buy it do ???😂

[@virginiawatts4.0gpa]

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

[@LaineyBug2020]

I would totally sub if they're on KZbin. This is as close as I get to Tik Tok.

[@tee3835]

It's very simple, we won't be buying YSL.
