Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague has come under fire yet again after using a foundation that is way too dark for her natural skin tone.
The influencer has disappointed fans after her latest make-up tutorial had her using a foundation shade that a lot of black and Asian people use, bringing up the question of why she feels the need to be darker than she actually is.
Describing her everday routine, the 20-year-old said: ‘I’ve really been enjoying Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk but this is too dark for me so I’m going to be mixing it with my studio fix fluid from MAC which is a holy grail of mine I use it all the time and this is in the shade NC42 which is still very dark.
‘I often get lots of comments on how my face is too dark.’
She sparked fury when fans noticed the drastic difference between her natural skin colour and the colour she desired to be.
Defending why she uses such a dark shade, Molly explained: ‘I go very pale in the winter time and obviously now it’s getting colder, it’s getting wintery, so I’ve gotten quite pale.
‘Once my foundation is on, and the whole world has hated me for how orange my face is…’
Fans and viewers took to Twitter to discuss the problems of turning yourself a different skin colour and deeming it a ‘tan’.
One user commented: ‘She uses nc42 which is the LIGHTER bottle she’s holding … i’m punjabi and i’m NC30. i know black women and asian women who are NC42. lol. you can defend this all you want but it’s actual madness & FYI it doesn’t look believable for one second. you are all orange blud [sic].’
‘“I gO vErY pAlE iN tHe WiNtEr” that’s her NATURAL shade ffs,’ another user angrily tweeted. ‘Imagine history calling dark skin ugly only for people to try and mimick it. Black & POC women – embrace your beauty. It’s hated because it’s envied.’
Meanwhile, some were confused on whether the Love Island star was joking about her ‘holy grail’ shade.
One fan commented: ‘Is this satire? There’s no way she actually believes it’s a match… It’s like 10 shades too dark.’
