[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think that wearing lipstick makes your lips less noticeable, as some would believe.  I am an African American female, and I have notices that in the past few years it has been fashionable for AA women to wear nude lipstick, or not wear lipstick or lipgloss at all, and I don't think this look is generally flattering on us.  Most AA women have non-small lips, so when we do no wear something on them I think we look particularly unpolished.  Up until about 4 or 5 years ago many AA women would wear red/berry shades, and I think that was a great look.

Are you loving Lupita Nyongo's lipsticks? That woman can wear the hell out of makeup.[/quote]

Her lipstick sometimes look nice, but sometimes she wears lipstick that is too bright or too pale for her complexion.   I[b] think she should grow her hair out though[/b].[/quote]

its generally harder for AA women to grow their hair out [/quote]

It grows, it just takes more time to manage than the hair of people of non-African descent.  You can wear an afro (large or small), braid it, twist it and take the twist out to achieve a particular look, wear dreadlocks, straighten it, etc.  One can also wear a weave or a wig.  Any style is a lot of work however for most AA women, we don't have wash and wear hair, that is why some cut it short like LN.  She is an up and coming movie star, so she can afford to have someone maintain her hair at this point.[/quote]

AA woman here. My hair is professionally treated and under perfect conditions, usually only gets to a certain length before it starts breaking. Even in braids and other protective styles, my hair reaches a certain length and then it will not grow anymore. [/quote]
OMG! Maybe she likes her hair short and natural ??? How about it she does have a hair stylist?!
Are u Trimble to say that short and natural = cannot afford to have it professionally maintained?
Do you realize this woman is a Yale graduate that comes from a WEALTHY well regarded family???
She HAD money already! She likes what grows out of her head!!![/quote]
