Saying that people of color cannot show any visible blushing is a big fat myth that only proves how little people actually know about skin tones.

I have seen a lot of skin-tone palettes that includes dark skin, but it is very rarely put in use as examples. And many times I’ve found them to only appear monochrome, while darker skin tones are just as rich in tone variation as fair skin.

And just to be extra nice, I even added the basic colors I used in these two examples. A big protip is to start with the darkest tone as a base and then work to light tones. Use the highlights sparingly, they should not be large but more like small spots. Dark skin is more “reflective”, meaning small highlights pop out more than on lighter skin tones.

I made this set mainly for all the anime artists out there who probably would love to color more poc characters but don’t really know if it’d work out as kawaii as their usual stuff.

News flash: it’s drop-dead super kawaii in all skin tones<3

Not only useful, the characters also looks so damn cute!

To the white guys on the beach yelling, “China! Filipino! Japanese? Beautiful Asians!” at us from across the street… To all the white girls who tell us, “You’re so lucky! I just want to be dark like you.” To that one white guy who wrote a paper on genocide in our country and told us, “…you probably won’t understand it.”

Fuck you. Fuck your fetishization, white privilege, and racism.

Linda and Lenée. Best friends. Cambodian girls. Forever angry.

Put the costume, wig, and makeup on all together for the first time! I think next time i’ll use more blush, but for the most part i’m happy with it. I didn’t do much, it’s just foundation and a bit of bronze eyeliner - I wanted to keep it as natural looking as possible! 

I shall venture outside and get some ~real~ (non mirror) shots of this on Saturday! I’m really excited. 

You can see the full dress here, and see more shots of the wig here. 

 okay WOW you win cosplay forever

Oh my god, it’s like Merida came out of the screen!
