    A girl on instagram posted a reel going to ulta and she took the darkest youthforia shade and mixed it with another brown / dark shade and guess what??
    It turned grey! Pasty alien skin color that definitely wouldn’t fit any human. She was using satire/sarcasm but you got the gist that this would happen with any shade mixed with the darkest shade .

Second, why are they defending a brand that did this? But regardless, even IF it COULD be mixed and work (which it definitely can’t as we both have seen!) Youthforia said it’s a FOUNDATION. They NEVER said it was a mixer. It’s just people defending them saying it’s meant to be a mixer. Like no! It was meant to be a foundation. Trying to defend them with iTs A mIXeR is wrong anyways. Even if it worked, it is meant to be a foundation, not a mixer! So people need to stop saying that! 😂

    I do not feel sorry for the backlash Youthphoria is receiving. When this foundation was in production, they cannot tell me that they actually thought that there was a shade for EVERYONE. Sometimes I will have to mix two shades for the perfect shade, and that is understandable. But to go from the darkest shade originally being a medium reddish toned brown to the next darkest being a blue/gray based BLACK, is just criminal.

      I wouldn't be this mad at Youthphoria if they said "okay we don't have money so let's release 6 shades, fair, light, medium, medium dark, dark and deep" and they just could have made it all neutral undertones.That's a wise thing to do if you really don't have the capital to make more, so everyone at least feels included and has a chance to find their shade. If darker shades don't sell well they could have just made a smaller quantity of them. I'm sick and tired of excuses and their attempt to fix this situation is even more infuriating.

    • @Nina-hz9vv
      @Nina-hz9vv Před 26 dny +89

      ​@lolamurder1882 Especially since nobody is asking them to make a foundation for literally everyone, people just want people of color to be equally represented in the shade range. Companies acting like this is something outrageous or insanely expensive or giving excuses that something was a test batch need to be fully canceled in my opinion, not just face controversy.

      This is what hit me too. As an artist, there is a nuanced color depth to human skin. But not difficult to figure out. Takes layers in painting having under tones and shades of those same colors to get shadows and depth. You don't use black unless absolutely blended and in smaller amounts. ..not ONLY black. This missed the nail so far they were outside

    I don't feel bad for the Youthphoria CEO at all. The reason why this happened to begin with is because her ego made her be more focused on creating something that has "never been done before" than on creating something that's actually useful to black people. She took the whole controversy and once again made it about herself, she wanted to outdo black owned brands like Fenty and receive praise. If she had actually cared about the black people who she had scorned to begin with, she would've pulled dark skinned black people into that formulation lab to sample their skin colors. She would've paid attention to the darkest shades released by black owned brands and questioned why they weren't tar black. But nope, this was entirely about her and her own need to receive praise.

    All Youthforia had to say was that it wasn't intentional, they f@cked up, and that they will do better; and, then, actually do better by pulling the foundation and reformulating a broader range. The fact that they didn't say any of those things but presented a weirdly convoluted and unbelievable explanation for shade 600 speaks volumes, though.

    • @deedeedussard
      @deedeedussard Před 26 dny +31

      It's the fact they said we do sades for all and they didn't have shades for me and I'm not that dark but awkward undertones then when people said it's not for all and why is it 10 shades between the 2 darkest instead of addressing that they brought out black pigment and called it foundation. If they don't want dark skinned people in their make up just freaking be honest. But there is a lot of colourism in Asian countries so maybe that's where it came from. But a south Korean beauty brand just did an 11 shade increase and are bring out more and it's specifically for an international audience and i think that says it all really

      @deedeedussard I agree with you. Even if it was unintended exclusion at the start (i.e., if we're to believe the small brand with a small initial launch rhetoric), it sure seemed intentional once they released pure black pigmented paint and then doubled-down on it. And the founder doesn't get a pass with the "Asian market" bit, _should_ she ever try to use it, as she lives in Miami and graduated from Dartmouth. Youthforia's market is young and North American and she d@mn well knows that market includes plenty people of all colours ... and undertones.

    Everyone keeps defending youthforia because they are a South Korean brand and may not have darker skinned people there. But Huda is in Dubai and launched her complexion products with 40 shades and a equal amount in every range. And she didn’t dare put out a pure black foundation. Her initial launch was perfect other than people just not loving her products being scented. And she still adds shades to her complexion products.
    And there’s the brand black radiance which is actually a Asian owned brand. They have always had deep/dark products even the darkest contour palettes. I’m Lightskin and couldn’t find my shade with them till more recently which I’m not complaining because they do cater to Darkskin people thankfully.

    The tiktok about her looking for a person to be the model made me think that she genuinely believed that she had done something and was just trying to find the perfect person to make it fit to prove that she was right. But I also have a hard time imagining that an owner of a makeup line who has other foundations wouldn't understand that one pigment creates one color and that that obviously does not work on human skin. This just seems like such an obvious fact that if she didn't know/didn't check is really concerning and if she didn't care is slightly disturbing.

      I feel like the owners have no business doing cosmetics because when doing products, especially complexion products, they should be trying to get shades that match HUMAN skin. Not random plastic/skin sample things. They need to match them to human skin as they’re creating the shades so something like this doesn’t happen. They shouldn’t make the shade then go trying to find a match in the mall. They should already have a match from when they were creating it, which they obviously didn’t. So they either didn’t do that and just rushed it and didn’t work to match actual human skin tones or they knew it wouldn’t and didn’t care and were willing to risk it (but don’t know why they would. They’d have to know after releasing their crappy shade range initially, they’d be heavily scrutinized when they released deeper shades!)

      ( Which would still be Highly unacceptable, But would give her increased sales!).
      If so, it was HIGHLY LAZY, INSULTING and UN INCLUSIVE.

    In your previous vid Jen you mentioned that you thought Fiona may have just given the lab an image of a very dark-skinned individual and told the lab to match that. It's very much on the lab for malicious compliance but also on YouthForia/Fiona for not QC'ing the foundation before trying to find someone to match it to - or even finding real people to match to in the first place while producing the product.
    It's hard to tell if this was just an arrogant but misguided attempt to one-up Fenty or if it was a nasty way of telling darker skinned people to "shut up & take what you’re offered". Either way, neither scenario is at any way okay.

I think it’s high time a makeup brand set up a counter in Ulta/Sephora where people’s foundations are mixed on the spot. Not only will that fix issues like this, it’s also sustainable.

The sheer number of ignorant and misinformed comments (and possibly some troll comments) in this section, going on about how people need to just deal with it and how not everything needs to be inclusive, is sadly not baffling, but also it is so exhausting to think about what a huge uphill battle this is sometimes. Still worth the fight though. All those comments are completely missing the point. People keep missing the underlying assumptions about race that accompany everything Youthforia keeps doing. And as nice as a foundation mix bar would be, it definitely wont keep creators and businesses from treating BIPOC and queer people as second and third class citizens.

      however, i do feel like shades SHOULD have an standardized sorting system internationally. that way, once you know your shade, you know all brands that sell something that has that undertone, that depth. "05CB" doesnt mean anything when you buy from another brand and thats "3" and then on another one it's "toasted caramel".
      standardizing it would also show brands that have a nowhere near even shade distribution, even if it looks like the darkest shades would fit you.

Youthphoria got it all wrong. The finalized the shade without even testing it, then when they tested and realized it didn't match anyone, it was too late.

    The fact that the people with the deepest shades on Earth are pointing out the obvious "if you can't find a model to match even among our shade ranges, then ITS FACE PAIN NOT A FOUNDATION for a real skin tone!" speaks so much to how little market research goes into youthforia's products. I'm sorry, but that this was released WITHOUT sorting that out first, is pretty sad. I mean, it not like we can all pretend she "had no idea about undertones~!" when all the other shades have more than one pigment to make them capable of matching undertones... and this one is just straight up black fact paint that's been made a wee bit sheer so as to MAYBE show some of the natural skin pigment through it (to give the allusion to there being more colour in the undertones when its just black).
    So the creator of youthforia wants us all to think she's too stupid to realize a foundation aught to have an undertone to it and more than one pigment, then? I'm not sure I believe the "she really thought this was what people were asking for" or "she really does think that's a legit skintone to produce and doesn't understand the backlash" lines...

      The bottom line is that she should probably not have released the foundation line AT ALL if she didn't have solid light/white, mid/tan and deep set. At minimum, she should have had the lightest and darkest both ALREADY done and dusted, BEFORE launch.... And she should have tried to do the deepest shades first, just because they'd be the most tricky for her to develop (clearly they are).

    How is that Plus soap better than bar soap for the environment? I would think a more traditionally made bar soap (because bar soap is very old) is better than those sheets.

    there's not feeling bad for someone, and then there's what i feel for people that post videos showing "how bad theyre doing" trying to get sympathy points from the internet. fiona had every single turn to not make this about her but sadly she made her choices. and we are making ours to say screw them, you dont fit this market, we dont want your stuff!

    I have used the Boscia body serum and oil free moisturizer for several years. I hate that they are gone. Luv the commercial. Have a great week. Mad love ❌️⭕️
