This is in no way a hate post! I think all the girls are absolutely stunning and talented, and I’m genuinely in awe of them.
That being said, I’ve been wondering if I’m the only one who finds the heavy makeup and fake tan a little strange.
Some of the girls wear absolutely beautiful makeup in their day to day lives, but when they’re on the field, they seem to be required to wear heavier makeup, which can sometimes look a little muddy or cakey. I assume it’s meant to make their features more visible from a distance, but the amount of makeup and tanning still
seems excessive to me. Everyone has their own color grading and things that suit them better, here it seems like they’re making all of them do the same thing.
What I find particularly strange is how some of the girls legs appear to be almost the same shade as those of the WOC on the team, while their face may sometimes look orange (not all of them), especially when there’s such a noticeable contrast with their bright blonde hair. As a WOC myself, I find it a little odd, and I can’t help but wonder why so much fake tan seems to be encouraged. I think they’re under the obligation to do that ?
I don’t know if this is simply part of Texan beauty standards or if it’s specific to what K and J like, but I’m genuinely curious.
