I agree. I’m white but I constantly see my friends being put down for ethic traits of their looks. Traits that are then copied by stupid girls. Then girls like Jordan look so different when they’re not tanned, they try to pretend they’re more exotic than they really are.
Holly Boon is the worst. And look how that turned out. All those vile, nasty racist tweets that were uncovered yet she’s striving to look like the people she spoke racist of.
I hate watching these youtubers who cover themselves in fake tan and buy foundation 5/6 shades darker than their natural colour. If you tan naturally then that’s okay but these girls are putting layers and layers of extra dark fake tan on. I wrote about sophdoesnails a few messages up as she’s started to cover herself in fake tan copying Jordan. When I first watched her as she always used the palest shade like me. Now she’s trying to be someone she’s not. When she naturally tans she’s never as dark as her fake tan.
Leave ethic beauty’s to review darker shades, there’s no need for a white girl to wear foundation meant for mixed race and Asian women!
It's frustrating as heck! Molly-Mae got dragged when she was wearing a foundation shade meant for darker skinned women but maybe Jordans profile just isn't big enough for her to seriously get called out. But she literally looks like she's from a different race when she's fully dolled up. And Holly Boon is vile can't stand her. There's a real issue with British influencers trying to imitate women from different races. I guess I just got triggered by it all because the girls who were the worst when i was young have turned into the Jordans and Hollys of the world.
ahah don't worry about it, i'm still stalking these pages at 4.30 too. And you don't need to apologise. I'm not trying to bash Jordan or personally call her out, but I do think a degree of responsibility needs to be taken by a lot of british influencers who are going down this route. If you're going to profit of the ethnic look, at least be clued up on ethnic issues as a minimum, but usually its the vainest most vapid girls who are doing it, so they rarely have a clue. Jordan is beautiful and she'd still be beautiful if she embraced her natural ethnicity. I guess the crux of it is, she will be always be white, she will always be privileged, when this trend is old news, she can go back to looking white and make money a different way. The rest of us who actually look like that naturally will still have to deal with racism and ignorance that she's completely oblivious too. She gets all the good bits of looking ethnic, can pick and chose what she likes about it, but she'll never have to face the reality of being non-white.This made me feel alot. I'm so sorry you've ever been made to feel anything less than perfect. I hope you know so many people do see this and are awake to the fact girls like Jordan are making money off of other peoples backs. She steals everything down to her actions and the way she poses it's honestly so fake and embarrassing to see. She is simply not her and when it goes to the extent of making people feel so uncomfortable that it reminds them of the bullying they've recieved from girls just like her it makes me so angry.
I completely agree with what everyone says regarding her being one of those mean girls that's jumped on the bandwagon of trying to darken not only her features but her skin...it's weird as duck. There's so many women of colour doing what she does but they wont get a look in because of uneducated try hards like her and uneducated viewers who don't give those people a chance
I do believe the world is changing albiet slowly but it's easy to forget when there's so many white women influencing eachother into looking darker and more ethnic so far so that they're unrecognisable to who they look like when all that too dark for their skin make up is removed. Imagine how infuriating it must be for women of colour to shop for make up and it's all been taken by over self tanned white girls...wow.
Anyway I'm ranting, its 4.37am and I'm probably making zero sense. I think what i was trying to say is I'm sorry girls like jordan exist. I would never.
