Disagree. I went in with a sense of dread because I didn’t want them fighting to begin with (I’m a wuss, I know). I’m glad they pulled punches because I can’t bear the thought of an injury to a hair on their heads or a scratch on their suits coming from another one of them.

Look, I came in here specifically to talk about the awesome that is Goldie. That outfit; that microphone grip. Yaas Miss Goldie. Well done mom.

Makeup artist (and WOC) here. A shade like that can be absolutely beautiful on women of color. Fill lips in with a brown lip pencil underneath it to give it some “depth” and something to grab on to. Et voila.

I enjoy the hell out of her and think she’s a hoot. Don’t get me in the car with “All By Myself” on. I get turnt straight up.

You are correct. I can’t stand his ass. I worked for an uber famous songwriter with whom he had a friendship, and every time I encountered him, he behaved like a rat prick.

I need for you to do this: stick your fingers in your ears and say, “la la la la la la; I-am-not-listening-to-you-say-The-Theory-of-Everything-isn’t-wonderful-and-magical, la la la la.” Do it for me.

Okay gotcha. I thought later that that might be your reasoning.

I didn’t count, but here ya go.

Same. And I too literally died. Seriously for real. And I did NOT like it. Dying is so not okay.

I know this is wrong of me, I know it is superficial, I know it is appearance-shaming.

Lol. Well I’m glad she did you right (and for the record, I love “pasty” chicks. I think you’re fun to work on).

Honestly, in decades — and of course this is just anecdotal — I have never met a black hair stylist who can’t do white hair. For one thing, a lot of caucasians’ hair mimics the texture of chemically-treated black hair, which black stylists work on all day long. And black hair texture varies wildly, so they’re used to…

Good Lord. You do realize that that link only proves the other commenter’s point, right? It’s all about melanin and skin pigmentation (or hue/color, as s/he said).

Newsflash; most makeup artists work in a multitude of mediums; runway/fashion, print/photography, film and television, red carpet, bridal, etc. Forget about retail counters (where lots of artists work to help pay the bills), where every skin type and tone and age and gender and its grandmother approaches you. Not…

Again, multiple factors. That is only one. There are many artists who do not bother to carry shades in their kit to match global skin tones, don’t know how to properly match and mix, and get jittery when a dark model sits in their chair. And that gets tolerated FAR too much. If I told an art director I couldn’t do a…

You have zero, and I do mean zero idea what the fuck you’re talking about.

Yup. I am in love with any company that would begin an apology with, “holy Fuck!” Appropriate response is appropriate.
