We asked : How do you feel about some people saying that women with darker complexions shouldn’t wear bright colored lipsticks, eyeshadows, etc.?

Responses we’ve gotten so far:
“I feel it constantly demeans us and only demonstrates that opinions towards dark skinned women have not changed. I find it especially disheartening when I hear other blacks making such comments. It is ignorance, fueled by a eurocentric standard of beauty that seeks to demolish any self-esteem that black women have and uphold the oppressive racial status quo”.

“People are entitled to their opinions….their opinions doesn’t mean its what is right or true. I feel a person should wear WHAT they want, HOW they want. To me it is an expression of your own unique ART. The ..makeup, fashion, and beauty is a way of showing creative expression”.

“I really don’t care if I like it I wear it point blank period”.

I used to equate browness

My browness

With being invisible

Maybe if I was just a little lighter

People would look my way

And smile

Not frown

I prayed 

and prayed

Asking for just a drop of milk

To rain down upon my

Dark dry desert

So people would see something

Instead of nothing

I sometimes want to talk about colorism with my mom, but I don’t. She’s completely white passing and I’m obviously black. As a small child, I recall knowing that I was black, my sister was black, my dad was black, but I had no idea what my mom was.

Whenever she gets compliments for her…
