Asian & Hispanic Women: Do you ever get tired of the lack of representation in the beauty/cosmetic world?

I was looking throught a beauty magazine and it dawned on me. There were no hispanic or asian women. The world isnt just black and white.





Do you feel the same?Asian %26amp; Hispanic Women: Do you ever get tired of the lack of representation in the beauty/cosmetic world?
yea i totally agree


i tend to see more asian models then hispanic women


and more hispanic actors then asian


and to what ';Spontania'; yes designers and photographers want a certain look but they love high cheek bones lots of asian people have high cheek bones

Well I'm Caucasion, but here's what I think. I think you're wrong, because I used to read teen beauty mags and I know they media simply releases photos of what modern society on a majority level considers beautiful.





Right now American doesn't feel Asians and Hispanic to be beautiful. Sorry, that doesn't seem very nice but there is a lot of political junk behind it. I guess they say it's often difficult to incorporate something you really have no taste for.
I think beauty magazines are a plague. The Eurocentric looks, the idea that beauty is limited to underweight women between the ages of 12 and 25, and mostly the resources being spent on how we look instead of valuing us in a million other ways....I ignore beauty magazines. I ignore any cosmetic company whose advertisement I don't like and stick to smaller companies whose advertisize is less stereotypical. Of course, I don't wear make-up at all, so beauty magazines don't do anything for me in the first place.
that is true...
How many American / Caucasian chicks would you see represented in a magazine in China or Japan ? ZERO! Hummmm.....how about that! Kinda puts a different spin on it huh?
no
Hi, there is diversity, even among Asian/Hispanic/etc. women. Depending on your genetic background, we all have different skin tones, skin and hair color, physical features. When you go to the cosmestic counter, you want to identify your individual skin color base -- it does not matter what nationality you are. When you color your hair, you need to identify what your natural hair color base is and work within that base when enhancing your hair color. Best wishes!
yes


in media and entertainment it is always black or white women. even stories about racial tension are always against black and white never asian or hispanic.


but i think its getting better a japanese lady won miss universe this year i think and theres a lot more hispancic actresses and models. i am hispanic and i feel the same way you do whenever i watch a movie or read a magazine
shut up troll


2 points!





EDIT:


sorry i thought you were a troll


forgive me








*To answer your question*


i agree this world is far from equality


even though im not Asian/Hispanic
I think that maur911 has a point. Depending on where you live, there are going to be more pictures of those kinds of people.





And what beauty magazine were you looking through? All of the magazines are trying to be politically correct now, and are trying to make sure they have diversity.





In my opinion, it really shouldn't matter what race is modeling the makeup or whatever.





I am black, and I couldn't care less if I read a magazine and everyone in it was Asian, or Hispanic, or Latino, or whatever. It really shouldn't matter.





On the OTHER hand, if they are just being RACIST and aren't including other races, then I would get angry. But I bet you that somebody who edits that magazine is Hispanic, Latino, or Asian.





And other thing, with modeling, they tend to look for a certain type of face depending on what they are modeling. Maybe the average Asian or Latino/Hispanic face just isn't cutting it for their particular product this time.
I know what you mean. But it's a problem with black women too. I don't see much Asian/ Black/ Hispanic models in magazines....








It's like European beauty is superior....
The world isn't just black and white, true. But America is mostly white.
WOW I thought I was the only one who actually cared about that. I am also very frustrated at magazines and luxury brands for only showing European models. Even in China, the brand Louis Vuitton have exclusively European models on their advertisings because they believe luxury is a western concept.





I guess they do that because they want their targeted costumers to feel reflected by the product. If a brand knows most of it's costumers are white females, it's more logical for them to put white females as models, I guess it is done to produce an image of a brand.





It still gets on my nerves everytimes I see this kind of discrimination!
