This writing may offend some people, but sometimes the truth must
necesssarily be painful to elicit change. You have been warned.
We have all seen it. A sassy, confident black woman, who looks great from a distance, and knows what she wants out of life. Flawless makeup, an expensive Brazilian hair weave, wonderfully manicured hands and feet, designer clothes and powerful ambition. However, fast forward to bedtime, and lets see what happens. The scarf goes on the head, the make- up comes off... and what usually is left, is an eyebrowless, uneven skintoned, (complete with acne scarring) woman, that looks nothing like the black goddess we mentioned earlier. In fact, the truth is often a scary sight, even for the owner of the face, let alone for a black woman's partner, husband or lover! It is almost as if, a large number of black women, care more about the illusion, of looking flawless, to actually taking the necessary steps to having a beauty regime that will make them look and be flawless in actuality. Weaves, oversized false eyelashes, and heavy makeup, and foundation have become more a mask for black women who wish to exude an image of beauty, rather than it accentuating or enhancing established beauty.vitamin c and pregnancy
