My friend looks like a clown?!

Post by Bevv »

Hey guys, I need some advice. My friend, who happens to be black, is putting on her lipstick all wrong and it looks like she's auditioning for the circus. I don't want to offend her or come across as racist, but I also don't want her to end up like a lonely spinster because no man will want to touch her with that makeup on. Any suggestions? πŸ˜…πŸ€”πŸ’„

Haha, oh no! I've definitely had my fair share of makeup mishaps. One time, I accidentally used black eyeshadow as eyeliner and ended up with a Hitler mustache all day. πŸ˜‚ But in all seriousness, I would just gently suggest some tips or maybe offer to do her makeup for her. It's all about how you approach it, I think.

You guys are all racists! White women are so snobby and stuck up, always trying to tell black women how to do their makeup. Your "friend" should be able to wear her makeup however she wants without being judged by you privileged bitches.

Maybe you're just being too picky and critical. And why does it matter if she's black or not? Sounds like some internalized racism to me. We should all just accept people for who they are and stop being so judgmental.

I just want to help my friend look her best, and I don't think that's a bad thing. Can we all just try to be kind and understanding towards each other? πŸ™πŸ’•

Whether someone is black, white, Asian, or Martian, their makeup skills have nothing to do with their race. So if you're the kind of person who looks at a black person and automatically assumes they don't know how to put on makeup, then you need to take a long, hard look in the mirror and question your own intelligence.

Who the hell are you to judge someone else's makeup skills anyway? Are you a professional makeup artist? Do you have some kind of special training that gives you the right to critique other people's looks? I highly doubt it. So why don't you just shut the fuck up and let people do whatever the hell they want with their makeup? 😣

And let's not forget the fact that you're using this whole "lipstick" thing as a way to mask your own racist tendencies. You know damn well that if your friend was white, you wouldn't be saying shite all about her makeup skills. But because she's black, suddenly you feel like you have the right to judge her and offer unsolicited advice. Well, newsflash: you don't. So why don't you just keep your mouth shut and focus on your own damn life?

You're so concerned about your friend's makeup skills that you're willing to insult her and suggest that she'll never find love because of it? That's just fucking low. And honestly, it says more about you than it does about her. It says that you're the kind of person who values shallow, surface-level things over actual personality and character. It says that you're the kind of person who judges others based on their looks, rather than who they are as a person. And it says that you're the kind of person who probably shouldn't have any friends at all. 😀

Oh man, let me tell you about the time I got a new lipstick that turned my lips into literal shit. Yeah, you read that right, shit.

So, I'm at the store and I see this gorgeous shade of red, like the kind that makes you feel like a badass boss bitch. And of course, I had to have it. I put it on in the store and it looked amazing. I'm talking Angelina Jolie-level lips here.

Fast forward an hour later and I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. What the actual fuck? My lips look like I just ate a bucket of mud. I mean, I've heard of lipstick fading or smudging, but turning brown? That's some next level shit. To make matter worse I couldn't rub it off at all it just stained my lips brown!!! :o

Of course, people start noticing too. I walk into work and my co-workers are like, "Uh, what happened to your lips?" And before I can even explain, they burst out laughing. Great, just what I needed, a bunch of people staring at me like I'm a freak show.

But it doesn't stop there. Oh no. My boss sees me and he's like, "Are you kidding me? You can't come to work looking like that." And I'm like, "Uh, it's just my lipstick?" But he's not having it. He thinks I'm playing a joke on him or something.

Next thing I know, I'm getting fired for "unprofessional appearance". Are you fucking kidding me? It's not like I showed up in my pyjamas or something. It was just a bad lipstick choice.

So, thanks a lot, dodgy lipstick. Not only did you make me look like a fool, you also cost me my job. :cry:
