As racist comments went into an uproar over MAC lipstick's 2016 picture of a beautiful Black woman's lips on social media, we thought how could something so beautiful be hated on so much? We define our own beauty and don't have to rely on someone's else idea of what beautiful is.
Since then, MAC has released a statement that their makeup does not discriminate. The cosmetic company posted on their Instagram that they are for “All Ages. All Races. All Sexes.”
The model, Aamito Langum, also had her own comments in which she posted on her Instagram (@aamito_lagum )saying “My lips giving you sleepless nights. On @maccosmetics IG. Thank you @maccosmetics for this killer color and to that makeup artist .ama get me 3 of these.” What a gracious response for all the haters!
So many took to social media and used the hashtag #prettylipsperiod to showcase just how gorgeous plump brown lips are. Now, four years later, many are still showcasing their beauty.
