Winnie Harlow creates a trend: controversy over a makeup tutorial that emulates vitiligo
There are many who have condemned the audacity of the blogger Golgiknowsbest for showing how to put on makeup to look like vitiligo, a disease that affects skin pigmentation
Winnie Harlow is a model who has made a temple out of her imperfection. She was born with vitiligo, but far from being conditioned by this condition in her skin pigmentation, she fulfilled her dream of becoming a model. In fact, fame has come to her precisely for this reason, being the image of advertising campaigns such as Desigual, where her peculiarity was enhanced, compared to the previous trend to make all models fit in any way in a socially imposed beauty standard. .
However, the scandal has come when a blogger has begun to give advice to her followers to reproduce vitiligo through makeup to emulate the peculiarity that has made the popular Canadian model famous. Soon, social networks have started to smoke, criticizing the audacity of the blogger Golgiknowsbest, who showed her result on her Instagram profile after following the steps that she shows in her beauty and style tutorial. In it, he appears with white spots in his eyes and in his mouth, very similar to those that Winnie Harlow shows naturally, something that has not been well seen by network users, who denounce that he is trying to propose as a trend makeup a skin pigmentation problem such as vitiligo.
“Seeing what we're not going to do here is mimic skin conditions and turn them into a makeup trend. It is canceled ”, is one of the many messages that have been left to the blogger Golgiknowsbest to make it clear that her daring is frowned upon. There are many who do not want vitiligo to become a fashionable makeup trend, basically because they do not consider it correct out of respect for those who suffer from it and they do not take it as well as the model Winnie Harlow, who has certainly done fortune of this condition.
Even people with vitiligo have wanted to share with the controversial blogger her particular cases, to make her understand why it is not correct for young women to try to emulate them with makeup. Stories of bullying, bullying, lack of self-esteem that highlight not only how unfair life is with those who go outside the norm and are not like the rest, but also by those who want to show that the difference is beautiful, they go overboard and border on the grotesque. Being different is good, but if we all emulate the difference, we are ultimately equal. Where would the grace be?
The blogger did not take long to remove her image from her Instagram profile, with the excuse that she was not receiving the expected response. She also wanted to explain that she was not actually doing a simulation of vitiligo, but that she had been inspired by the makeup of a drag from the show Rupaul's Drag Race. Few have believed her, but she seems to have gotten the message.
