Beauty Blogger Kristen Leanne Gets Dragged For Dissing A Highlighter Made For Dark Skin

Beauty Blogger Kristen Leanne Gets Dragged For Dissing A Highlighter Made For Dark Skin

Yes... this happened, unfortunately.

Beauty blogger Kristen Leanne is under huge fire RN for completely dragging Huda Beauty's highlighter palette catered for darker skin.

According to Allure, Kristen posted screenshots of the highlighter on her Twitter, writing that the colours in the new Bronze Sand 3D Highlighter Palette wouldn't work for three out of the four skin tones they were swatched on... which honestly is how darker skinned people would feel 24/7.

.

But it didn't end there. She then wrote another tweet asking the brand to make a palette for lighter skin tones.

.

Huda Beauty actually does have two palettes of highlighter from the same collection that is for light skin: 

Pink Sand and Gold Sand. Bronze Sand is their newest edition that was made for dark skin.

Kristen also commented on the brand's Instagram, writing, "Hmmm those 'highlights' aren't even close to being light enough for the top arm swatches. What the heck".

Of course her comments really offended some people on Twitter, and they didn't hold back.

Some people even pointed out that her own highlighter she released with Urban Decay features only light colours.

Kristen has since deleted her initial tweets, writing a follow up on how she was misunderstood.
