Some are born beautiful and some are born plain Janes. Janelle Monae was born beautiful and she is the beauty muse for this week. Janelle Monae, the face of Cover Girl makeup, is a stunner in every way, her flawless skin, beautiful face, perfect features and her signature hairstyle complements her face. She has a completely different look, she does not look like your regular coloured girl and that stands her out from the pack. I love everything about Janelle Monae’s face.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say, but I believe we can all agree with Kelly Rowland being a beautiful black woman. She has perfect facial features. Her skin tone is just flawless, she has a well-shaped nose and mouth, and her eyes are so beautiful. Everything about Kelly Rowland is so beautiful.
I have always admired her back in her Destiny’s Child days. What do you think of Kelly Rowland?
Cosmopolitan Magazine shades black women in a feature titled “21 beauty trends that need to die in 2015”. This feature highlights popular beauty trends that need to go away this year. The shade is Cosmo using mostly black models and celebrities as examples of beauty don’ts in the R.I.P column, and mostly white models and celebrities as examples of beauty dos in the Hello Gorgeous column.
Social media has been buzzing with so many reactions. See some reactions below:
– “Coincidence that all the “wrong” looks are on black woman/WOC?“
– “Rare to see women of colour in a mainstream magazine. And when you do it’s to tell us we’re ugly.“
Cosmo has addressed this issue via an Editor’s note:
“This article focuses on beauty trends with images that represent those trends. Some images have been taken out of context, and we apologize for any offense. Celebrating all women is our mission, and we will continue to work hard to do that.”
What do you guys think? Shade or no shade?
