The white content creator gained attention for a TikTok video criticizing Fenty Beauty's Hydra Vizor Huez. She complained that the lightest shade was too dark for her skin. In the since-deleted video, she requested the brand to come out with lighter shades. However, social media users called her out for the lack of understanding about the industry's inclusivity issues.
Fans pointed out that brands like Fashion Fair, UOMA Beauty, and Fenty Beauty already offer a range of shades for people of color. The creator's criticism was seen as tone-deaf and tone-sensitive. Some fans, including YouTuber @Darkskin_qqueen2. 0, called out the creator's audacity, saying she didn't understand how makeup lines were created.
@julesontherox, another white content creator, defended the creator, saying it's okay to not be able to wear the product. However... @julesontherox also acknowledged Fenty's effort to offer a variety of shades, "and recognized the struggle women of color have in finding inclusive shades." The controversy surrounding the creator's video garnered attention... amidst an ongoing conversation about skin tone inclusivity in the beauty industry.
A white content creator is taking heat online for her criticism of Fenty Beauty's Hydra Vizor Huez, a lightweight tinted moisturizer with SPF 30. In a since-deleted TikTok video, the creator calls out Rihanna and the brand because although the product comes in 10 shades, the lightest shade was still too dark for her skin.
“I'm gonna need you to come out with some more lighter shades because I can't wear that,” she says in the clip.
