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.

Didn’t someone say in this thread she copied Patricia Brights style of videos? She really isn’t unique in the slightest. It’s funny how all these white influencers band together, you rarely see an ethic girl in their friendship group. They are all clones of each other these girls and their videos all the same.

It’s just her mannerisms and the weird little noises she does and all those hand movements... it’s so not authentic! She can’t be like that 24/7

When I first watched her I did think she was mixed The same colour as me . then when I saw her without her makeup on I was like wtf she is white there is a difference between having a tan and there is fraud identity

Why does she always look at the camera and pout? It’s so annoying. Yes, Jordan we get that, you fancy yourself.

It's difficult because she annoys the hell out of me but I always end up going back to her videos? Imo, she's a gorgeous girl and I do like her makeup looks but then I feel like she's so fake? I think she needs to tone down the fake tan a bit

I love Jordan ngl, but over the time she's been with Jake she's changed slightly. A bit to in your face. I get that's growing up and what not but she seems not so down to earth.

Also her newest video, 6 figures in her business account, girl is doing good I guess.

Six figures yet still lives at home? Yes she does well but her videos don’t get as many views as you’d think for someone over a million subscribers.

Like someone said she’s become more showy since being with Jake, she was actually bearable when she was with her previous boyfriend. And Jakes become a typical YouTuber boyfriend, going on all these brand trips with her. Does he actually work or does he work for her?

I thought that because her videos don't really get many views yet 6 figures is quite a lot for, so she must earn a lot through brand deals.

And I think exactly the same with jake its super showy in your face and has anyone noticed how much she talks about sex and that now.

I would assume a good chunk of her money comes from brand deals. I’m sure she’s done some big campaigns before with Urban Decay, NYX etc. And she had her beauty bay palettes although I’m not sure how much money she would have got from that.

If you don’t watch YouTube you wouldn’t have a clue who she is. It’s mad to think she’s had deals with Missguided, Nyxx and Beauty Bay. I think she must get brand deals as the brand will think because she has over a million subs your well known.

I watched her from the beginning when she still worked at Tesco I think it was and she was just so much more relatable. She’d also film products she bought, now she just reviews things she’s been sent or is being paid to say good things about. Also she looked so different, her foundation actually matched her back then too!

She just isn’t relatable anymore and her and Jake have become a show couple, like if they’d just come out of Love Island.

Her other boyfriend before Jake, they did relatable videos together and didn’t show off or talk about sex. He also wasn’t up her arse all the time while she was away on brand deals.

It's so annoying not being able to get your foundation shade - because white girls are buying it to match their "tan"

She never ever says what it is her boyfriend actually does, strikes me as gangster wannabe drug dealer type
Also THAT ACCENT so so fake

I don't think fake tanning in itself is necessarily wrong because from what I as a brown girl can tell, having a little bit of a tan makes a lot of white girls feel confident. I don't think Soph's for example is excessive because she doesn't look like a different person with it on. However with Jordan it's a little uncomfortable in my opinion - and as someone else said before I get the vibe that she's trying to seem ethnically ambiguous.

Also unrelated, and I know it's personal preference - but the way she does her lips is so over the top. Dark unblended lip liner with a much lighter lip - super overlined. Forgive me if this is a trend I'm not aware of but it looks like she's going for the Bratz doll look lol

I thought exactly the same it’s the lip liner and pale lipstick.

Does anyone think her nails is a bit much? Ok who am I kidding, a lot of things are a bit much about her. She's changed so much in just a couple of years, she used to dress quite nice but now it seems like she's going for the baddie look a bit too hard. Overall I don't mind her, she seems quite nice although I do wonder if she's acting when in front of the camera cause I can't imagine her mannerisms being like that permanently.

That lip combo has to go. She looks great with a red lip or when she used to wear an orange toned lipstick! Also I think she's forgotten how to blend her contour
