Now I get why Naomi Campbell doesn't take crap from anyone... Especially being a model in the earlier years where people were more ignorant...
Agreed....she must have needed to build a very thick skin to Deal with the bullshit
Jeddy Kiereri yes, but even in their selection of black models they always have to be super dark and have an accent for real high fashion
@@HairAffairbyElle I don't think that helped her get away from racial remarks and bias situations... Regardless of how they chose her...
Yup. That's why she's my hero. I'm glad someone else came to the same conclusion I did about Naomi Campbell. Whenever Black women stand up for themselves it's a problem for someone else.
@@ShannonsBibleStudy She is my hero too! I love her
the whole "if I lick your skin will you taste like chocolate" thing is completely nuts wow
Would you believe I had that exact same experience when I was on tour with a band in Norway, a very young fan was trying to lick my hand because he loved chocolate!! I had to have a translator to tell him I'm not a chocolate bar and to stop trying to bite me!! INSANE!!! 😳🤯🤪
@@odeanlawrence1834 you would think adults would know the difference between a chocolate bar and a human being. Some white people are the color of raw chicken breast, does that mean their skin will taste like that? No wtf cannibalism.
Can't believe people still ask these sort of questions in this day & age.
Do people actually say that? *Disgustang*
It's happened to me too!
It’s sad that people discriminate dark skin.
HC FAMILY ikr fuck then
Think about it their naturally beautiful literally wake n go Beautiful wats not to be jealous of
@@whatyalldoing7012 What's not to be envious of is the vast majority of people in the world don't find them attractive. Just because the vast majority of people don 't find dark skin and kinky hair attractive does NOT mean: 1) they are envious of these women and, 2) these women are inherently unattractive. It just means society likes what it likes and complaining won't change it.
Life's unfair. People of all cultures for all times find SOMETHING to discriminate on. Always have, always will. Skin color discrimination isn't any better or worse than discrimination based upon religion, gender, height, affluence, etc.
I don't think so that this is about discrimination of different colours skin... This is business... unfortunately white woman are really really beautiful woman and like in the sport are the best people, in beauty are the most pretty people... But I swear to god, really I swear to god I will answer to all black models in the world why is like this, if they will answer me, why black guys want white girls?! Not just want, because me like a white guy I would nevere had any trouble to have something with pretty black girl, but basically it's not what white guys wish.... But so many black guys around me want to have white wife or girlfriend... Why?! If you gonna answer me on this I swear to god I will answer to you why it's like this and maybe when you will answer me on it you will answer to yourselves aswell...
My beautiful granddaughter when she was about 5 years old said to me "Nana I'm the same color as my ice cream" as the chocolate ice cream was melting and dripping down here hand. I told her always remember that your skin is beautiful like chocolate ice cream. I pray that she doesn't let others define her and is always aware of how beautiful she is.
Douc Whatic that’s so cute omg haha
What a beautiful way to teach her self worth and beauty 😍❤️
We have to make our kids imbibe self-love and pride for their appearances.
There is nothing more beautiful than a women who gracefully keeps her head up. And we all need role models.
Amen!
This made my heart smile....aaaand I also want ice cream....😏
If you can’t do makeup and hair for ALL races then YOU👏🏾ARE👏🏾NOT👏🏾AN👏🏾ARTIST👏🏾🗣‼️
Thanks for your ignorant opinion. But we are happy with the: Status Quo.
Ray Matthews
Do you understand that in order to be in artist you have to know how to master all racial features... I believe the prefix was art
Art comes from creative imagination. The facts supersede your beliefs. All certified artist no matter ethnicity or gender or capable and able to apply make up to any race.
Visit any studio where a shoot is been done, you will see makeup artist with different ethnic background applying makeup, to whoever needs it. You liberals with your
regressive agenda is something your in toxic mind you, want to call progress.
Wtf is that profile
No, all art is different and comes in different forms, and I feel as if you're a makeup/hair artist you should be able to work with all types of skin tones and hair, because not everyone has the same skin tone. Some is harder to master than others because you have to mix and match makeup. Also with hair textures you shouldn't be teaching 1 certain type of hair texture in a hair stylist school you should be teaching ALL textures of hair and the same goes for makeup.
The worst is when you deal with rejection and persecution from your own people. I almost expect it from other races, sadly.
Ten Ways To Wear It true
The way I see it is" your own" people are those who you not only share or learn to share your experiences with you, but those who also elevate and have a deep affection and respect for you. Black people are just people like anyone else. We may share similar racial experiences, but it doesn't mean we share the same outlooks and beliefs. Your own people is whoever you connect with.
DeeperThanMyThoughts I actually just meant Black people. It wasn’t a possessive term. I just meant people within my race.
Ten Ways To Wear It I understand what you're saying, what I was trying to convey is this belief system that I often hear from black people (I am black to btw so I understand) . The expectations that we have of each other just because we share a similar skin tone, but not necessarily the same experiences.
Black people are not a homogenous group who all think the same, we don't! I understand the hurt and disappointment but that's because your expectations are founded in a belief system that skin colour overrides individual and cultural behaviours. In countries where dark skin is coveted this is not even a talking point. In westernized countries where white supremacy is prevalent, the preference for lighter skin is dominant, hence why the catch all use of the term "black people" is too loaded as it doesn't take cultural thinking into account.
Totally agree with DeeperThanyThoughts. In my tribe (the Seereer), dark skin is elevated. Hence a common phrase "I want a wife as dark as charcoal." Jet Black skin is associated with nobility, purity and Godliness.
The things us Black women and young girls go through... Its a shame.
Arayah Monae Shelton it really is
Nobody put's you through anything. You allow whatever happens to you. Mainly from lack of self esteem.
i’m white and watching this video made me so sad i wasn’t even aware that black models face this problem it’s so ignorant tbh
@@raymatthews7624 thats not completely true.. lack of self esteem is normally caused by people telling you youre ugly, not enough etc. black women and girls dont wanna be shamed for our skin tone, be made fun of for our features, or be sterotyped society just does it
@@raymatthews7624 lmao you're a joke
i can understand Naomi Campbell reacted the way she did, and she did very good
Violence is the only langage these ppl can understand. Ppl who dont understand that are too damn brainwashed
@Victoria Akomolede that doesn't excuse her bitch personality. Michael Jackson had a broken childhood and he turned out fine later in life.
Emily Rose yeah Michael turned out just fine 😑
Naomi Campbell was a nut who attacked people. Not being able to do kinky hair is no reason for attacking folks. No amount of justification for her crazy antics will work. If she had been White and done that same stuff, nobody here would defend the White woman.
@Brittany Bennett For all Michaels nuttiness, he was never convicted of throwing stuff at folks, kicking them, punching them, etc.
Dear Fashion industry: hairstylist and make up artist. If you call yourself a “professional”, you should be able to deal with all types of hair types and skin tones. It’s the equivalent of my maths lecturer not being able to do a simple algebraic expression. If that’s the case then he shouldn’t be teaching maths, just as you shouldn’t be a make up artist or hairstylist. Thank you. Goodbye 👋🏽
Oryandlee Mormont I was literally just saying this to myself. Like you are not a true artist or professional if the only people you can do makeup on are people of fair-skinned your amateur. For instance she said that it's a problem in Paris so you mean to tell me they ain't black people in Paris?
Very true. I think that people are just too lazy to learn or probably don't care.
Thank You!!! I was just talking about this🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
As a makeup artist and hair stylist I completely agree with you!
A lot of "professionals" never studied or aren't interested in colour theory. Some simply never done someone with a deeper skin tone.
9/10 times when I have client/model thats non white is worried because Im white. Most common questions I get are "Do you have my shade?", "Should I bring my own foundation?", "Have you done a black girl before?", "Can you do asian eyes?" etc. The sad part is I know why they are asking me that.
I have always said this. At times I wondered if there were separate cosmetology schools for white and black hair. All the black salons in my area can do ANY hair type. The white salons don't seem to know what to do with black hair. So are there separate schools or do they just not teach this stuff? My last experience at a white salon they wet my already straightened hair so they could trim it( they were shocked it started to frizz). I don't think its up to me to educate them, they are supposed to be professional.
Melanin is a blessing, not a curse...
F A C T S.
Yup melanin is dominant and white is just recessive i dont understand how our own black people and others wont ever grasp this genetic fact!
melanin is fuckin beautiful, if I look at a black man long enough, I start thinking about our inner universes and what created us.
Yes that's true
That's a fact.
It’s time for black people take over this beauty industry. Nothing better than black skin. Black is beautiful.
Yes high time but nothing hapening they need to team up with naomi capmbell
@@itsmob4lifeVoodoo you trynna drop your race or...
Sephora Kargbo I’m trying to be truthful.
Brother Voodoo low self esteem left the chat..bye
kairu Anne wambui left the chat and went to Mr. Jun’s beauty supply store 😂😂😂
“We are not a trend”.. we’re legends living life creatively. #HereToStay
please be more discriminating in your creativity.
It's weird because black barbers know how to cut white men hair, yet these make-up/hair 'artist' cannot do the same for black women. Wilfully ignorant.
You are bored and ignorant. White men and women do makeup on all the actors irregardless of color. As a black man I will confess that I prefer black barbers, Even though I
am told that, Caucasians Hispanics are better than black barbers. By my Black Brothers. so your comment is{WEIRD} rather dumb.
ray matthews lmao you are big mad , it’s sad you keep commenting because you are angry we are right
ray matthews and you know white barbers are no way near good you aren’t black and you are a troll
Nah, it's because white peoples beauty tutorials are sooo common on IG that it's too easy but they know black people beauty techniques because they are black.
you need to learn and understand English before you post. (PEOPLES) Is not English. The internet helps shows how dumb you are. Don't Know if there is a:GED program
in your country, Take a course then start writing. Till then stay off the Internet, (PEOPLES) Typical.
Dark and beautiful I don't care what anybody say
they are so beautiful they are made in GOD's image
Larry Mandaville true we blacks love our skin regardless.
Larry, I know that's right. I don't care what the media, magazines, movies, say. I have eyeballs! I can see! Those girls are gorgeous.
I agree
Yes, absolutely!
“Do you taste like chocolate?” Like whaaaaaat? I’ve heard it all Lol 🤦🏿♀️
Wow dats sweet because imagine testing like chocolate
Wow that's weird.
Figment of their deluded imagination. Liver lips and ashy skin is bitter. No chocolate flavor their.
Girl yesss we kill it the melanin gang is strong lol🙏🏾🙏🏿
You should've asked that person (assuming he/she a white), would you taste like raw pork skin if I like yours! Man I'm pissed with that person who thought black girls taste like chocolate. Damn that bugger! I'm an Asian but I love black skinned people, those ladies are so gorgeous
The African girls have a very gentle and soft way of talking , they have a coolness that is calming .
agreed. beautiful, and elegant!
@gritt orisen Why are you yelling?
gritt orisen why are you yelling? Why are you yelling?
True
It’s sad that we’re still going through this in 2018.
It's human nature...unfortunately.
Kavita8 You are a disgraceful and ignorant person
Kavita8 the world would be a better place if there was no assholes’ like you. How you sleep at night with all that hatred and ignorance in you?
Sissy Kuey it's getting slowly better.☀
Kavita8 Chill.
They need to hire black makeup artists and black hairstylists. Honestly, this is so unacceptable. Why do we as black people have to go through so much in this world? These women are absolutely gorgeous! I hope more awareness is brought to this topic! Hopefully, all those "hairstylists" and "make-up artists" that did not know how to style these ladies can see this video!
Stir Fry on point
Stir Fry what black women need to do is to stop buying the makeup the close of stylist and fashion people who don't patronize black models why should I be caught wearing your clothes if you don't have a model that looks like me and I'm not talking about just light skin models with pretty hair I'm talking about chocolate sisters with nappy hair
if you want to know whats being done, then follow me ebk events or black fashion matters.
Stir Fry Because you own and control and create nothing.
The models themselves feels more comfortable with that arrangement. Know the facts before posting.
Black skin don't crack! Black skin is glowy and soft to the touch! We smell like Coconut Oil, Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter. 👍🏾🙏🏾👶🏾
Periodt
That saying is NOT racist!!!! It is the truth that black don't crack !!!! And a white person told me about that!!!!
I smell like that also and I'm white.
@@water9baby972 um...you have a nice acquired taste in products
@@sephorakargbo7402 thank you. ;)
Such a shame african, and african american models are being treated like this. This is why I don't look at fashion magazines anymore. Ignorance & stupidity
Lol. Hell what do you like? There are blacks doing
commercials than white. If you are ugly and cannot resonate with magazine contents. That is your genetic disadvantage.
They're so beautiful.
HEKYMA
Be fr, where???
Yudah El everywhere
Melanie Del Rey lmao yes
HEKYMA EXACTLY THEY SURE ARE BEAUTIFUL. ALL OF EM
Melanie Del Leomie is very beautiful and she's Jamaican. Them Africans is not cute or attractive. They should only let Black Americans represents us. All the white models are normal looking compared to those africans
How are they claiming to be a "professional makeup and hair artist" but can't do black textured hair/makeup? Just by not know that, makes you unprofessional period. They be acting like black people aren't everywhere around the globe
emilion ema that’s what I’m saying! You’re not a make up artist if you can’t do makeup on darker skin tones same thing goes for hair.
In their defense, there's no point in learning black textured hair if you work in Europe with majority white people. Heck black hair stylists in America don't even know how to work with textured hair but they'll slay a weave better than anything.
BiellasPointofView i’m sorry but that’s literally the dumbest thing i’ve ever heard, black people don’t just live in Africa. there’s a shit ton of them in Europe including me.
Charlotte Maya
And me!
Charlotte Maya I’m pretty sure I said “majority white people” which implies not all of Europe is white. There’s a reason why black people wear weaves so much. That’s because we either hate our natural hair, hate the maintenance, or just lazy.
Proud to be African🇸🇴❤️
Hey I'm not from Africa but I'm too dark. Very dark
Medimentors Where are you from???
@@belleraja6233 india
Medimentors y’all are too beautiful I can’t take it no more
Lmfao, I'm darker than A LOT of Africans and I am not African.
The black nations to create their own black model agency and cater for ourselves
Exactly
They have agencies in New York. Except the Blacks prefer the white agencies.
I hate that they always chop off the hair of all the dark skin models!! They never make the white models go bald
exactly! !!!
My thoughts!!! I always wonder why their hair is short!!
Because they can't do our hair 😞 The industry is changing slowly but WAY too slowly
I missed that part of the video. Maybe it's a choice. Maybe they can't grow long hair.
Rapture folds Yeah they can grow long hair! Everyone can unless you have something wrong which slows the growth process
Ajak has such perfect full lips
I love that mouth shape, I find it so beautiful. I've only ever seen it on Asian and African faces and it gets me every time.
Svetlana Anjuska If thats how you feel, then you don't appreciate her type of beauty. That's fine. We all like different things - but I find the shape charming, alluring and unique. Just beautiful.
Svetlana is a jealous racist that says Africans are ugly
Svetlana Anjuska You are in every comment of this video. Just stop looking the dam video it's easy. And please stop mixing your ugly fake ass white injected lips sister with these black women natural lips. Always saying it's ugly yet the plastic surgery industry is blooming with white female as number customer. Now we get it , we are ugly yet people want to look like us. Soooo slide. Still ugly but copying right. tchuiiiiiiiipppppp
Svetlana Anjuska huh, I rarely see white people with NATURAL full lips. Most are just botox filled lips. Honestly you sound pretty stupid, and no offense but this is one reasons I would never be want to be white, you all make persons who aren't seem like animals and if even if you talk to them normally, in the back of your mind you still have no respect for any other races either than your race. We for one do not need your opinions or pity.
The black community distinguishes between skin tones as well. I still see negative posts about dark skin and short hair.
Only in America.
The thing is we are precious in God's sight
It's crazy that ppl are still discriminating against dark skinned models. Naomi Campbell is one of the best models to ever live & she is dark skinned.
Yes she's amazing but how many European super models can you name? She's one of a very small and elite few. What is more important to ask what multi-million dollar campaigns was she tapped to be the face of? I'll hold.
Shes not THIS dark. Theyre dark even to black people
Taliyah McKenzie yes, but Naomi had to be assertive because those people will look you over, curse you and move on!
gospelevans what? They're not dark for "dark people"! They're part of the spectrum.
gospelevans you sound so dumb
khoudia is so beautiful. all these black women are beautiful #MelaninStrong
Marie Chanel ADJAC is my favorite: DAMN beyond STUNNING, but yes ALL of them are natural beauties!!
Well your skin is flawless truly, Beautiful girls!
So true 💖
I love how naomi Campbel doesn't take nonsense from no one,she gives it to you straight away
They’re so beautiful 😍
same
I don't even know Anymore Yes they are their skin looks so healthy I love them ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🍫
Ajak... is stunning.
Yes they are!
True
I am dark skinned and i have been insecure about it for years until one day I was on tiktok and I saw this dark skin girl and I was like black is really beautiful,from that moment i decided to love my skintone and i wont change it for anyone or anything.❤
I think that the melenated models are the prettiest. They paint a perfect picture and the clothes stand out , the look is completely different and they don't need all the make up and they have nice shapes. Love your self unconditionally , Black is beautifully undefined and can't be duplicated.
its time to start making black modeling agencies, with black makeup artists, etc. most are catered for white only. im bored of it.
When been saying that to the Models and the people that have the Passion & Eye for good Models.
But our people are scared, cursed, and white-washed. Were waiting on the "Saviour" *smh*
Bunnies Forever wtf are you talking about? Yes there are make up shades for darker skin tones. You people love to have so many excuses. I agree with the original commenter.
@@sruthi671 did u just call me a dead as broke?? Girl go get a life lmfao
Then let us black people rise up and start trying to achieve that greatness.
I am white lady who went into Debenhams to buy a range of make-up specially for black skin, I asked for help and was greeted with a dirty look and a nasty attitude by the beauty consultant, she said this makeup isn't for white people, I said I knew that and walked away. I wasn't actually shopping for myself I was shopping for someone else for a birthday gift.
I'm not whining about myself because this is how women of colour have been treated for centuries. I think these women should stick two fingers up to the beauty and fashion industry and do there own thing.
What should be a pleasant experience turns out to be a horrible experience for women of colour.
It’s not enough for companies to just hire black models- they need to hire black makeup artists, black hair stylists, etc
paloma Why don't Black People start their own companies?
TheElizabeth125 why havent you started your own store?
paloma so true
follow us now #blackfashionmatters 09.13.18 come see how we plan to change this concept
when you learn to do hair and makeup you must learn how to do it for all hair types and skin colors.
I'm light skin and I've always admired dark skin. Especially me being from Africa and knowing the beauty that dark skin is created for. Dark skin is very powerful.
I purposely married and procreated with a very dark skin Black man so that I a brown skinned woman had a better chance at having a dark skinned beauty and I was graced with my brilliant, so sweet, so kind, beautiful chocolate skinned, big 4c afro having baby girl who I cherish above ALL others!🥰🥰🥰
BEAUTIFUL!
Are you a black woman?
@Peter Salucci No, she said she was brown skinned. That could be Indian, native American, South or South East Asian or just a white person with a tan. Read the small print before retorting with sarcastic remarks.
I have a celebrity crush on a light skinned black man named Prince so.
🤔🙄😏
a sad reality
Annesha Adams Maybe its YOUR REALITY BUT ITS NOT MINE! Do something about it. Stop believing lies white people are jealous! People cf get plastic surgery to look like a black person all the time I was born with volume my hair can do anything it could be straight it could be an afro it could morph into anything just like I can people pay billions of dollars to the tanning industry I was born with one I have melanin in my skin I have something in common with a sun their skin burns because white people's body hates them their flesh that's why they look so big on Earth because the flesh black people have souls were known to have soul the reason why they can't dance is because they have no soul and you have to be able to go through stuff and I believe that even in the slavery time all that prayer that we actually needed is going to snowball and it's cumulative and we've developed an inside of us to have anything that we want when it comes to the Law of Attraction because we have a magnetic pull it comes from the light inside also people get lip injections to have my lips they get BOTOX to have my skin because we don't fall and crumble apart when we age we still look young no matter what people get butt implants to look like me so there is no problem stop telling people and enforcing the lie that it's a sad reality it's not my reality and it will never be and it shouldn't be yours either how embarrassing you are stronger than this!!!!
Annesha Adams now you have 327 other people that believe the lie that you start I can't believe you are part of the problem stop posting embarrassing things I'm really annoyed by it and just walking confidence you have God that you know that haven't you seen black churches there's a reason why we faint and freak out and start clapping her hands so much and white people's churches you can't even dance you look funny if you dance because they don't feel what we feel that's something get over it we have a gold mine stop it now quit posting stuff like this it's not a reality it's not a reality it's not a reality it's not a reality!
no it's not.
Annesha Adams Just remember no matter how light you date you still coming up black
Tawnee Alexander Why U talking smack to her she wasn't even mentioning or blaming white people😑
Black skin is beautiful. Anyone thinking otherwise has a racist viewpoint.
Bro. Blax is beautiful but not everyone that is black is beautiful. Im black nigga
They are breathtaking.
Bullys try to make you believe anything.
I don't like all blacks and I don't like all whites. Depends on the person.
@@0906blue And that is the art of not being racist. Making it about the person in question is the right way to go!
Ian Dog
This is so racist. First of all black women can do whatever they want with their hair and wigs are a protective style which protect the hair underneath. Also black people come in all shades light and dark, none is better than the other!
All of these models are so BEAUTIFUL.
@Ian Dog there BEAUTIFUL unlike you
These women are simply gorgeous!!! That black don't crack!
A message to all makeup artists and hair stylists: If you can't do every type of hair then you're not good at your job
Agree! That's a fact! I lived in Japan for 3 years and Japanese hairstylists who have never even seen a black person before could do my hair because they are trained to be able to handle all hair textures. They also listen when I explain what to do and then I leave happy.
If that's possible in Japan, it's possible in Paris or Milan, too. They need to step up their game.
So what i got from this is that the fashion industry class all Black women the same yet they will tell us a whte woman can be south african or british. Such a shame still in 2018 models have to do their own makeup
SoFrolushesTV she should bring her own wigs too
Do you know where Britain is?
so u're trying to be racist here lmao.. of course white woman can be british.. its a british country founded by white europeans... and of course they can be south african, its a former british colony..
when everyone is missing your "British" point. It's comparing two nationalities (probably Britain was the wrong choice to use) and how they can be viewed as different but Africa is summed up into one thing
To be real honest to the god given truth, black women like these do not need makeup.
See how unique they look... Especially the Sudanese models... Can't just get enough of them
Dark skin women are the most beautiful GORGEOUS WOMEN THE MOST HIGH EVER CREATED I LOVE THEM
Yes that way black guys want to be with white women... :D you have nice people all colours,but reason why black guys want white girls so much I really don't know... Something have to be on white women if they want them more like they own race...
Rasputin Putin just the stereotype society built for dark skin women is the problem
Who cares, why are you trying to convince yourself
and us?
Naaaaaaah lightskins are better. Face it!
Are you kidding me? These women are gorgeous. This is insane.
Iman, Naomi &other have said the same thing since the '80's & 90's. So 40 years later....smh
I know,it's about as bad as I am still singing in 2018 we shall overcome from the MLK marches.
The melanin 🥰💅🏽 Even though I am a 13 year old light skin black girl I am happy to see my fellow dark skin sisters have the courage to speak about these struggles I know it’s not easy to talk about these past experiences. P.S These women are very pretty 😍💗.
You lovely ladies are doing such a fabulous job in educating these people!!! Keep up the great work!
This is so sad to hear in 2018.
Kasha Taylor This is sad to hear at any time period.
WARNING:BEAUTIFUL BLACK QUEENS HERE!!
NOTICE: BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL!!
belinda hawkins positivity is always accepted.
Willie McClary absolutely 😍
All of them are absolutely gorgeous😍
No they aren't
THESE WOMEN ARE SO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for sharing your struggles with us and persevering through all the adversities. You make me so proud! xoxo
Dang they are pretty
In my experience the European standard of beauty has always been shoved down every ones throats...it’s like we’re brainwashed through the media and sadly sometimes within our own families that lighter skin and more euro features are superior. This is not correct, I am so glad that I have deprogrammed myself and now recognize that dark skin and African features are JUST AS beautiful. We all possess beauty inside and out.
Derek Lowe I’m nobody’s victim I’m free of the brainwashing unlike your ignorant a&&.
Yes true white people are also beautiful but also black people are so beautiful
It is a narcissistic manipulation. You are easier to control when you don't love yourself or your reflect.
But these models clearly demonstrate what many of us already know and that is "the emperor has no clothes."
@Ian Dog you look like a female to male transgender
@Derek Lowe he speaks truth. I always thought it was odd white girls should always be the default for beauty. Sure, people like colors and blue eyes (or green or grey) and blonde (or brown) are nice looking and shiny, but I personally see every girl with a Nice face and body beautiful.
I love this. Honestly it's so inspiring and informing watching these models speak this way and making the best out of their situations. I am an aspiring dark skinned model and it gives me a little bit more hope. Thank you for this video
All of them are absolutely gorgeous!! Their skins are so amazing!!! They photograph soo well. I wish them the best with their modeling careers! I pray for change in the industry and hope people will see the dark skinned models and women are just as beautiful as everyone else.
Naomi Campbell use your voice for this models.stand up for black model.🙏🏾
Luxedivva she speaks out about this all the time. Naomi and Iman are activists for black models in the fashion industry.
Luxedivva she does and she has for years been campaigning for diversity hence these girls being used and now having a voice. Just ask Beth Hardison who came before Naomi Campbell and Iman all of whom have had it twice as hard as these beautiful girls and are still working to change opinions along with new vogue editor Edward Enninful.
So please don’t think they have not.
That is correct. Naomi used her voice about the modeling biz. Francisco Nars created his makeup line and the range of shades based on working with her for many years.
SHE DOES SPEAK OUT ABOUT RACISM...SHE IS THE ONLY BLACK SUPERMODEL THAT DOES THIS
please naoimi aint trying to get those ppl upset
You should not be called a hairstylist/makeup artist if you can’t correctly do anyone that sits in your chair. Just saying.
Erika Delahuerta fr!!
Thank you for paving the road for more dark skinned models.
I love seeing the full range of female beauty.
I am a starting dark skin model who is in love with fashion! Check out this blog!

Ajak is so stunning! All gorgeous
She's my favorite! I've been crushing on her since seeing her on the VS fashion show. But all the women are gorg!
And I'm quite sure Naomi went through the same things. Her name is now a global brand. Resilience ladies. Be resilient.
Keshie Mansouri she did just sad.
Keshie Mansouri Or they can stop begging White People for approval.
TheElizabeth125 imo, they're not conforming. Each one of these ladies is confident in the skin they're in. WOC need to be included in the conversation of beauty. It's as simple as that. These women are expressing their frustrations with the industry and these issues are 100% valid. The world is diverse and clothes should reflect inclusion. The industry has to meet WOC where they are, not the other way around.
Trust me they have the highest confidence and attitude compared to fair coloured women . I wish I own confidence like them coming from a yellow skin girl like me
I’ve been following Ajack Deng for the longest. I was there when she only had 1,000 followers now she has almost 200,000. You go girl
Hold up do they not have black hairstylist or makeup artist backstage????????? Like I need to know so I can become the first to make difference
donna thompson go get that job sis 😄
Fashion is highly competitive/political make no mistake and it applies to backstage. Typically an agency is hired for Hair and MUA, the booker decides who gets the jobs or the person in charge picks their staff. They usually hire friends or those that have the power to book them for future jobs. Some MUA's do not have respect for our skin color, so they think it's easy, so you don't need a special talent, training or technique.
If you can, go for it. This industry has always been racists.
donna thompson that’s the same question all I see is white people I know it’s black men & women makeup artists that’s trying to break into the fashion world I need answers so its no black people that don’t want to in the fashion industry
Not usually in Paris or Milan...🙁
Nothing feels good than being black. ☝🏿💪🏿👌🏿🤞🏿😍
Kies amen!
Yessssss 💝
Yes PERIOD 👍🏾
Nothing feels good than being a human.

Being a dark skin girl in everyday life can be hard at times, so this doesn’t surprise me one bit. Thank you all for sharing your experiences. You all are beautiful, keep shining ✨
Black is beauty and it will remain like that forever
Jason Heilinger she just said black is beauty did she mention white?
@Jason Heilinger speak for yourself
앤디Andy ? All skins are beautiful 😂
@@andymr21 is this a video about white or is it about the way the whites treat the blacks in the industry?... Cause I don't know. You tell me.... Tell me why would she boost another race that was shitting on another because of there skin tone?... It's not rocket science
@@fatimajobe9973 your right but the other guy was born an IDIOT!
Sisters being so gorgeous. Their smiles❤️❤️❤️
THEY ARE ALL SO BEAUTIFUL! OMGGGG!!
For the record African women from every culture and tribe can grow their hair past their ass cheeks. My hair is natural 4a texture and it is almost past my bra strap. No we don't taste like chocolate. We don't need lots of make up and we don't hate our complexion. We don't envy other people and we definitely strive for greatness in all we do. We aren't insecure and we all don't act the same or believe the same. We are diverse and beautiful. ✌
There needs to be a "Love" button, lol.
It's really good that you have a lot of self worth. However you add nothing to the [epidemic] of the 10 billion dollars industries (weaves, skin bleaching, rhinoplasty) that pray on black self-hate. Blanket statements like "We don't envy other people" are not only lies, but contradict present facts and numbers.
Denying hateful rhetoric is a step towards liberation from institutionalized self-hate, and it doesn't matter what ethnic group you belong to, it's inflicted on everyone. Many non-blacks sink billions into cosmetic procedures, getting lip fillers, hair-thickening plugs and extensions, breast, thigh and buttock implants to achieve the archetypal look most associate with black and brown women. Asian markets: facial reconstructions and skin treatments. Brazillian markets: rhinoplasty and augmentation. It might not be broadcast as relentlessly in your country, but "black self-hate" is a global sensation that exists everywhere and reaches into every insecurity one might have, regardless of ethnicity. The cosmetic and fashion industry are as much to blame for warping the cultural nuances that help shape our beauty ideals. Expressing pride in the diversities of beauty does more than point at negative facts for the sake of saying they are current facts. It presents an alternative, to deny those facts as permanent reality. To persevere through systemic prejudice and proudly represent the unique beauty you embody sows positivity alongside the seeds of hate.
That's why there needs to be a Love button for that comment.
@@chantz2400 It goes both way there are plenty of other races getting butt injection and lip fillers trying to get what alot of us have naturally
Chantz weave epidemic is not worse than this ass shot/lip injection epidemic..weave is harmless, these white girls out here killing they self tryna fit in.
I am proud because of my dark chocolate color from Ethiopia
im ethiopian and proud that im black
@Shkorina shkorina why not?
@Shkorina shkorina the very first thing all African haven't the same features as well as colour most people labelled west African features as only African symbols but Egyptian Algerian Moroccan Tunisian are also the part of Africa. eritrean,Ethiopian,Somalian,sudan ,Rwanda as well are black African but a bit different face features so africa is a continent not country we r not all same sorry for broken English ab mewedaata tselim ena but we are different i my self proudly black African
Me too!!!
it's is true and not only ethiopian problem all the Horner's share this syndrome and shame on us as i told you am very proud with my black African identity but i have also particular unique "meninet" am habesha and I love it cheers
all of you are beautiful, please keep up your hard work
To those of you out there who struggle with being accepted and told that you're not beautiful know this you are special and you are beautiful as long as you know that about yourself don't let what others say get to you there are a lot of mean people out there who will make you feel bad as there way of making themselves feel better about themselves that is unfortunately reality when it comes to how mean and twisted a person can be and for those of you out there who do not fit the model stereotype remember this The stereotype of what beauty is is a narrow fit that does not fit for everybody the people who made that narrow perception of what beauty is if they were truly intelligent they would know that beauty comes in many forms but the best beauty of all is inner beauty I'm not religious but I believe the body is just a shell and that it is what is on the inside that counts more than what is on the outside I personally think that you all are the most beautiful kinds of women good luck to you out there
as a white person, im so genuinely sorry for this illness in our society
seerpou it’s not an illness, people consciously decided not to treat them equally because they’re Black. Racism is a dehumanizing system , but it’s certainly not a disease.
agreed. its a systemic evil. but hopefully we can cure this
ray matthews So because it doesn’t happened to you personally, the struggle of the women in this video is irrelevant? What are you trying to say with that statement and how is pointing out real social problems in a work space an issue?
Please get a job. Go to any studio in progress and see what goes on their. Before making stupid comments. No sense trying, to explain logic to you. You are one of those,
who only listen to what they want to hear and see what you want to see. Learn the facts and lose your ignorance. I can hear you saying Michael Brown is innocent, despite
the facts on the video. CNN is hiring your type.
ray matthews It would of been nice if you actually addressed my comment instead of straw manning and based on your comments, you’ve made it clear that you don’t know much of anything😂😂
5:30 I would never expect that from a grown man. That's just ludicrous. A white child once asked me if I was made of chocolate but for fux sake that's a child. And this child was Polish to boot so he'd never seen anyone like me before (I was in Poland for a week). But to hear that from an adult? No adult should be this dumb smh
+Tshegofatso Matemane - why am I not surprised smh
It sound actually really cute. Beeing made of chocolate is rather a nice thing (coming from a child)
I think lots of parents don't know either. When I did ballet as a child a friend's mom told my mom (she's Turkish and we live in Germany) she thought I was painted (I think I had lipstick or other kind of stage makeup so maybe she thought I was body painted wtf?)
Poland here :D Few times I've seen in public transportation scene, where some old white ppl asked black ppl if they are not too cold because obviously (to them) ALL black ppl are born in Africa... like guys, we do have black ppl on TV, Polish ppl, you can count them on fingers on one hand, but still, it's not some witchcraft or alien invasion...
It's not cute it's fuckin creepy and dehumanizing.
I’ve actually met Nyakim she’s honestly gorgeous inside and out!
Different shades of beauty. So sad to hear about some of their experiences. Thank you and keep shining
Ajak Deng is the first model I ever followed on Instagram [2012]. This girl needs more recognition, why big magazines act like they don’t exists when they profit from their image for “diversity purposes” ..
Bantu Fro i
I'm definitely following her on IG to see more of her work. She's gorgeous
Beautiful women keep y'all head up sisters
Afrocentric: I came from a family which we were always told how beautiful we are and to maintain a lovely, caring, respectful POSITIVE ATTITUDE 💪✊👍🙏👑💯YOU BETTER KNOW IT. The females in my family stand tall and proud to be who we are and love our features and skin color. Hey Hey 😄😄😄😄
Keep on staying strong! Queens👑
DOPE!!!🔥🔥🔥 They are the Epitome of BEAUTY!
The model with the really short hair with the tear drop accessories is drop dead gorgeous! A pity they must put up with the ignorance of racist behaviours!😓
Ajak Deng!
They are in the industry so it is not racist. I have never seen such a whiny complaining race in all my life.
They are all GORGEOUS !!!

Yudah El truth
So sorry about all the things you have all gone through. You ladies are beautiful! And supper amazing!!! ❤️
They are so beautiful 🥰🥰 I love it. Thankfully these issues are finally being addressed 🙌🏾
This is why there should be more black hairstylists and makeup artists in the industry altogether. They can better cater to the looks of models of color as well as educate other MUAs and stylists on how to do POC hair and makeup properly.
thedupester yes I ask that same question so you telling me no black person don’t want to be part of the MUA I’m really we have millions of Makeupartist and black hairstyles
thedupester But if they barely want to hire Black models, they will definitely not hire Black make-up artists. Although Black artists know how to do every type of nationalities' make-up. It's a dam shame.
These women are Gorgeous!!!😍😍
They are beautiful😍😚😙
@Voice of Reason8071 Voice of Reason8071 aww thanks
theyre all so beautiful im speechless
TRULY BEAUTIFUL YOU ALL ARE EVERYWHERE ARROUND THE WORLD !!!!!
To be honest Black Women don't need make up. Black Women are beautiful. I love them! That's why I love my black skin. Black is everything!❤❤❤
Jonathan Jonathan that's what I say too...the melanin is enough colour and makeup...
If at all,light make-up,eat healthy and do natural skin treatments...and we're good...really good...
Annie Special so true. What the black community needs to learn is how to embrace their skin. And I see that some of us are getting there❤❤❤

Jonathan Jonathan ughhhh
black woman are so beautiful!!🙏🏼
so is every other race
@@kiimjol4889 This video is about black women, not every race. Shut it
Thank you😘✊🏾
I as a white man can appreciate GODS direct creation. Only respect for these women.
agust,d creator I met the one with the long hair before at Lexington ave train station here in Ny. She so tall and skinny. When I saw her I didn’t believe my eyes, I didn’t know whether I should walk up and get her autograph. No one was checking her out so I was like just leave her alone. But she so tall and skinny. Very skinny but beautiful
They ALL are sooo BEAUTIFUL!
Every one of you are so BEAUTIFUL!!
All their faces are perfectly symmetrical... just beautiful
