People Thought Kylie Jenner Tried to Look Black at a Golden Globes After Party. But Where?
Kylie Jenner is catching some flack on Twitter for the makeup she wore to a Golden Globes after party Sunday night. The queen of jigglin' booties opted for some particularly dark bronzer to go with her cream-colored dress. (In our opinion, Mel Gibson looked darker in the bronzer he wore to the Globes.) And the result? People thought she was trying to look like a "light-skinned black woman." Take a look at a few messages from some not-so-happy members of Black Twitter:
Jenner has been called out for racial appropriation in the past. There was that time last spring she did a photo-shoot in what people saw as blackface. Plus, she ticked people off in July when she sported cornrows just for s--ts and giggles. We completely understand the reasoning for both instances.
But we're scratching our heads a little bit at this one. Yes, the bronzer--or whatever she used on her face--is a few shades too dark, but it doesn't seem like she intentionally tried to look black. It seems more like an excessive tanning job than an attempt to mimic a culture.
Perhaps we don't see it yet. Tell us if you think Jenner tried to look black at this party in the comments, and--more importantly--explain why.
