Hi Jackie. I’m an Indian girl who has darker skin, and I’ve been receiving comments about it my whole life. Given the rampant colourism within the community, I was always really insecure about my hyperpigmentation and especially my two-tone lips. I’ve only recently started to appreciate the beauty in my skin and this video was really uplifting. Thanks for all you do for darker skinned POC

I think she is great, addictive energy, and beautiful, however I do not consider her skin as dark skin. some people like me, who actually have dark skin do not consider it beautiful, and cannot achieve those glowing effects.

Hi Jackie, I'm filipino and I've been watching your videos for a long time now. No one taught me to accentuate my brown skin better than you did. There's also a heavy colorism problem in the Philippines, and us brown skin girls have always been told to whiten our skin, straighten our hair, bla bla. Basically telling us not be ourselves and conform to the white-skinned, long haired Asian look. When I was 10, I also wanted to have a lip surgery to cut my lips slimmer so I won't have the two-toned "big lips" that they always told me is ugly. When I started watching your videos, I learned how to accentuate my natural feautures and to love my brown skin! I hope you see this message because literally without you, I wouldn't have anyone who told me I'm beautiful just the way I am. Love you, and always take care! xx

I don't know if it's just me, but when Jackie was pointing out her different pigmentation, scars, etc at the beginning - I realized that I don't really process that as "bad" or as pronounced anymore after watching her the past few months. Not in a negative way. Just that whether Jackie has no makeup or is in full glam...I just see her as gorgeous Jackie because of her personality if that makes sense at all. Like yeah, I see it but it's no longer something I pay attention to because I'm just focused on her as a person .

I think this is the reverse Halo effect, the Halo effect is where you like someone very much so you don't see all there flaws as prominently. Say Jackie was a shitty person (she's not btw) but if she was her Halo would kinda fade Because you realize how bad a person is its easier for you to see there flaws what you're experiencing is the the Halo effect but in reverse. 🖤

H B I completely understand girl. People used to ask me for a ‘smoke’ all the time, as if I had a cigarette on me. I knew it was because of my lips being dark around the edges.

As a young, white teenager, I have grown up in a severely segregated area of the Midwest where there aren't ANY POC in my school district. I literally only experience different cultures when I drive to the nearest city to my town. Having you as a resource has helped educate me about different cultures and struggles everybody has.

As I go into the beauty industry (I am going to esthetician school) I will use your tips and advice to help my future clients.

[@bishojjoo]

I'm very white... so I don't know if I should even say anything. However, I completely adore the ombre effect on darker skin girls lips! I am finding them extremely attractive! Embrace your heritage girls! To put it in contrast my lips have no pigment whatsoever and without lipstick my lips are grey.

I've never followed black makeup KZbinrs because as a super white girl I didn't think it would be helpful, but I stumbled upon your channel recently and have learned so many random bits I wasn't getting from other KZbinrs. What I also love about you is you know how to communicate in a school-appropriate way without feeling like you are sacrificing your personality or culture, which a lot of my black students struggle with and I feel like I never quite know how to reach them where they are at, so I feel like watching your videos also helps be me a more culturally responsive teacher.

Thank you for videos like this. I’m a young professional makeup artist and I love learning how to properly accentuate dark skin. I struggle with it because I simply don’t have the access/ability to practice on dark complexions. I need education & knowledge of how to work on dark skin and do it justice because it truly is gorgeous and deserves to be just as beautiful and accepted as any other skin tone. Videos like this help me feel more confident in working on dark skin tones! And they help me know what products are the best!

[@jeniferbatista12]

@@vl3525 Light skin brazilians are cute, pretty etc and dark skinned with black features aren't. Because of colorism and racism many girls, like me, grow up knowing that lighter skin is way prettier than darker ones. At adulthood many women try to get rid of their wide noses, dark lips, dark knuckles, dark croochie and their curly hair.. I was one of these girls. Ashamed of my medium-dark skin, my curly hair, curvy body and I'm still trying to accept myself just like i am...tbh, it's hard when no one support you.

I really love this video for two reasons: 1) because I love how in-depth she is about different UNDERTONES of darker skinned women and Jackie shows you how to accentuate instead of hiding your beautiful features 2) I have what most people would call a “baby face” that when I acted in high school the lady who did my makeup wouldn’t do “stage makeup” or wouldn’t put too much makeup on me because my face wasn’t having it lol. So I’m always trying to look for something that is subtle and will just enhance my features and this video is PERFECT 👌🏾

@Your thoughts Not mine Race is a construct of north western european men hundreds of years back. Race doesnt exist. Ethnicity, culture and geographical areas do, although country borders arr mostly also created by those same pale men, so they don't exist either (lilke literally with a ruler and pencil during the1836 Berlin conference regarding Afrikan borders). For example Afrikan, South American and Asian people have skin tones rangimg from the lightest imaginable to the richest darkest imaginable, with hair the same and hair texture from stick straight to the tightest curl. So within so called people of color every imaginable skin and hair tone and texture exists, and in every conceivable combination. The same with eye colours. Besides all that when people say other people looked mixed race they most often mean so called POC mixed with white. Thats just one combination of mixing. Yall know so called POC also mix, and that is also mixed, not only white mixed with so called POC is a mixed baby. Yall keep placing white as the centre of standards. Its bullshit. White is the minority. Yes theyre a minority who created most chaos, but they remain a minority. Lastly aint noooobody can tell on aaanybody what mix or no mix they are.

I’m also a licensed cosmetologist and white AF (99.8% European according to the 23 and me DNA test). I’m obsessed with the techniques that enhance the natural beauty of women of color. There’s such a stigma in the beauty industry against people who aren’t white and it’s almost deemed “bad” to enhance what women of color are born with. SCREW 👏🏻 THAT. 👏🏻 Everyone has inner and outer beauty in different ways and instead of dragging people to filth over what one individual person (or a group of people) finds beautiful, why not empower people to reflect their personality on the inside through their looks on the outside? I will never understand why people have to get their panties in a wad over somebody else’s personal style choices.

[@09kenedy]

Katie's Corner yet here you are bunched up panties and all ranting in the same manner you’re complaining about lol. Side note, too often the attempt to “enhance” black women’s beauty usually ends up in a fail because the European standard of beauty is used as a guide. With the lack of knowledge you posses, please stick to enhancing non black women before you f them up and then say it’s cute 🙄.

[@katiescorner5879]

A Gold “The lack of knowledge I possess?” So just because I’m white, that means I can’t take classes to understand how a black woman’s hair should be cared for and further develop my knowledge on what tones and colors to use on women of color in terms of makeup? 😂😂😂

[@09kenedy]

Katie's Corner who said anything about you being white? Freudian slip on your part I guess. The point I made about how the goal of the treatment was to have an esthetic appearance which is closer to the European features and standard of beauty missed you though? That’s the ignorance I’m referring to. Continue with your color wheel chart and your classes, but if you want to actually excel at treating black women ( not WOC) open up you brain and expand your thinking.
