Seriously, what is this man's problem with makeup? Choosing the right concealer and applying it properly really isn't that hard. You'd think at 47, he'd have gotten the hang of it by now. It's not like he has really dark skin like some black people and has to shop around to get a decent match, either.






Yeah, yeah, I know. dumb topic. But c'mon -the guy's been wearing makeup for how many years? You'd think he'd have at least picked up a tip or two from a professional makeup artist on a shoot if he couldn't figure it out on his own.

All that said, it is a cute picture.

Well, at least he isn't wearing blue eyeliner or anything.

Did we really need a whole separate thread for the same picture?

That said, I'd re-word the ignorant phrase in bold:

this picture's starting to get on my nerves just about as much as that gotdamned cameltoe pic.

Not the cameltoe!

This one's muuuuch better...makes me wanna....

Okay, I'll just leave that alone.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

this one?

thekidsgirl said:

You're right - he just doesn't know how to wear concealer, does he?

yeah that was ignorant

FunkMistress said:

What exactly is ignorant about this statement, if I may ask? I'm black, from a black family, with a few black friends and this may shock you, but some black people have really dark skin.

OK, somebody please explain to me what concealer is so i don't have to waste time looking it up on google.

I think it's for vaginas or something. Apparently Prince's vagina skin is not very dark.

Isn't more like scarlet?

Make-up that conceals dark circles under eyes, and other imperfections.

Are you sure you're metro-sexual?

squirrelgrease said:

it was ignorant because it was implied that only "dark skin" Black people have trouble matching make up colors.

Being Black you know we come in all different shades and we all have trouble "matching" colors of make up and concealer.

All of us.


Not just the "dark skin" ones of us.


that being said, P probably just grabbed the wrong tube that night

And it is in fact difficult to find the right shade of makeup for us darker skinnedd black ppl. For black ppl with light skin, it is easier because there are sooooo many shades of makeup for light skin.

yes and truly it seems that no one gets the shades right

Iman did not
Black Opal did not
Maybelline
Revlon
Clinique

Almay

Hell even Fashion Fair is off on most of the tones for me.


It is difficult for us ALL, light, dark, medium etc...
the light cannot wear the colors for the "white" so the variety is a problem
not an advantage.

we are all unmatchable

but all beautiful

P grabbed the wrong tube
that's my story and I am stickin to it.

Cinnamonjo loves covergirl-- it matches my skin perfectly-- one of those tan mixes is my skin in a jar.

My lightskinned (freckles and all) mama used to have a lot of problems finding makeup-- even now when she uses it it makes her look like i have to turn the knob on the tv.


I say lightskinned ppl have more trouble w/this-- but i guess cause im not really dark-skinned, i dont count?

well I guess you know how lucky you are girl, I always have to mix colors to get it kinda right, that's why I don't wear it much anyway.


poor mama, she's just an example of what I said, variety is not an advantage.

I can't see anything wrong with his concealer on that photo

I didn't either at first. Look at it in full view. You'll see it

FunkMistress said:

What's ignorant? People with darker skin -of any race -tend to have a harder time finding makeup that suits their skintone without making it look ashy or weird.

Don't assign racism where you should know damn well it isn't intended.

That's what I was trying to say.

Don't think black people are the only ones who have problems finding the right shade though. I'm mixed race and paler than most white people I know (especially in the winter) -do you think anyone makes makeup in that range either? It's fact that a lot of black people -especially those with darker skin tones -have trouble finding makeup. You shouldn't have read so much into what I said.

That said, there's still no excuse for P.'s makeup issues. Even if he does have trouble finding the right shade, with 20+ years having to work with makeup artists you'd think he'd have picked up something by now.
