How To | Apply Natural Make-Up for Black Skin | Channel 4Beauty

[punktropicale]

Of course she says black skin. She's British living in Britain! She's hardly going to say African-AMERICAN, is she? Also women of color includes Asian and Hispanic women so is too non-specific.

[AshSoJUICY]

 is very offensive you could say African American dark or for black women black skin bothers me

[teaukeri7]

@AshSoJUICY "women of color" would've been the best term for her to use, I totally agree with you

[OneWayRoad]

shes wearing foundation in the after, why didnt you show the application

[Verizon18collins]

In my opinion this was a very good tutorial. I wish people wouldn't take words so seriously. There is nothing racial about this video. Dark skin women have different texture hair than light skin woman and that means different hair styles and techniques. Why can't you just enjoy the video for what it is?

[CandyCanery]

annnnnd that was boring...

[onthaszz]

hey all u retards!! in the UK that is how you refer to that skin color. its not a big deal you have black skin you have black skin you have white skin you have white skin you have rainbow skin you have rainbow skin. not a big deal.

[winiver77]

well - that was really natural! ok!

[PEACHFACE24]

Of course not everyone with dark skin is African American, but it's my opinion that I would rather be classified by who I am and not labeled a color. To each their own and what works for someone in the UK or Africa can be completely different somewhere else. I used African American as an example in my original comment. Hope that cleared up the misunderstanding. Anywho, skin is skin whatever the shade. Be blessed everyone!

[cookiemonster123go]

i love that blush (:

[Jamaikangurl]

Not every black person is "African American" so the term "black" is a more broad description of anyone with African Ancestry.

[makizee1]

Stacy Okafor is Nigerian...I like that.

[kklive305]

nice



[dorsome]

why are black so sensitive.God!help us.I am black and i call my self black

[ZennLa13]

She is beautifl. doesnt need makeup at all.

[candlecane]

Wow, I am surprised at the heated debate going on here. I thought it was a makeup tutorial. Lets learn and "makeup" :D!

[PEACHFACE24]

Well everyone is entitled to their opinion and I don't believe that being called black is taking it too serioulsy. Words do carry a lot of meaning regardless of their intention. Personally I would rather be referred to as the person that I am not by the color of my skin, which by the way I have never seen a "black" person walk this earth. Which would you prefer to be called if you were the model: A beautiful African American woman or a beautiful woman with black skin? Hello! She's not black!

[ABBYOLAful]

@PEACHFACE24 What if she's not African American? "Black" is just an easier way to describe her, than going into details of her origin. She could be British with African descent, or European with African descent or just plain African. You see what I mean...plus "Black" is an acceptable race definition, just like there's Caucasian, Native American and so on. Oh and there are very dark-skinned people in this world who look like the colour "black".

[FashionablePoison]

@PEACHFACE24 but I doubt she's African American as this is British video. I see where you're coming from, but we also call Caucasian people white in the UK, they're obviously not actually white, these are just term to describe what a person looks like and is not seen as racism here.

[Amber88d]

I prefer her not to say (black)skin IDK why but it bothers me.

[TheMsAbiola]

@Amber88d What would you say instead? We are black.

[artcar88]

@TheMsAbiola black is an adjective. it tells what a person looks like, not who they are or where they come from. we are humans so that means we must be defined in terms of a noun, we're African, and then state country so I'm African American. black/white is the language of racism, there is no biological definition of race it is a social construction used to control the masses by gearing us to hate one another on the most visible human physical feature, skin color

[PEACHFACE24]

@artcar88 OMG, finally someone who understands this. Thank you for posting this. I get tired if defining the differences between black and African American or white and European American. I AM NOT A COLOR, I AM A PERSON!

[TheMsAbiola]

@PEACHFACE24 Every person who walks the face of this earth is distinct but it would be impossible to have 6 billion titles for the 6 billion people who walk this earth.

[TheMsAbiola]

@artcar88 People take this too seriously. I am sure when you clicked on this link, you knew exactly what was meant by black skin otherwise, you probably wouldn't have clicked on it. Black is an umbrella term that refers to a number of different countries but overall, we are black. When you put so much emphasis on whether we should be called black, gold, green, blue, you are placing unneccessary emphasis and turning it into a racial debate when it is not.

[TheMsAbiola]

@artcar88 This is a make up tutorial so the intention was to say what a person looks like. Applying make up to skin does not need to go into detail about where a person comes from. I am sure a white person would not have clicked on this hoping to learn how to apply natural make up to their skin so in that sense the title achieved its aim. Every black person wouldn't benefit from this as we are all different complexions but the easy solution to that would be to click out of the video.

[100rbunny]

@TheMsAbiola she might not be african american either...black is merely a descriptive work for her skin color and is very appropriately used because this is a makeup tutorial and color is important here.

[TheMsAbiola]

@100rbunny I agree with you

[HoneyBeeCrunch]

@100rbunny But she's not "black" she's brown. =( I don't think black is very accurate at all to describe either of them.

[FashionablePoison]

@HoneyBeeCrunch In the UK we say black, it's completely accurate. I don't know about the rest of the UK but where i live a brown skin person would be Indian for example, so it would be confusing for British people if she had called her brown skin.

But why is this such an issue?

[sarany]

@Amber88d It's super common in the UK. I've heard a lot of British gurus here on YT say that too.

But I agree, it sounds kinda odd. Haha

[jennav921]

@Amber88d

"black skin" is the correct terminology in the UK....

[angeljuice02]

@Amber88d not certain where your from, but in England, where i'm from and this video is situated, we always refer to darker skinned people as black. Brown would refer to asian people and african american we are not as we're from england! i see what you mean, but in the UK; its perfectly acceptable and not racially insulting in any way :)

[Watermelonkissesxoxo]

Eeeeeew! You put yo fingers on her lips. . . -_- I would have bitten you . . . xD

[teaukeri7]

@Watermelonkissesxoxo Hahahahahahah

[StacyKathy]
