Alexis stone does their version of Kanye West with a lighter foundation and the use of shadowing and contouring.

Disclaimer: I’m white and I completely understand where POC are coming from with people recently trying to replicate black features even though I’ll never truly understand. But I just wanna mention that people should also consider the fact that some people who are not black are born with some black features. Some white people have hair that’s extremely curly, meaning that using black hair products, or putting their hair into braids to maintain is just what’s best for them. Just a reminder that some black features aren’t solely exclusive to being black. White people can be born with wide noses or big lips. I’m only 1/4 black so I am white but when I was younger my hair was extremely frizzy and curly, although not Afro. I used to beg my mom to let me get it permanently straightened. Now I love my curls and it makes me so happy to see women of all races admire and appreciate natural and curly hair because it IS beautiful. (Although I fully saw the problem with a YouTuber using Bantu knots to make her hair curly and didn’t once say this is a black hairstyle... don’t pass that stuff off as your own making).

also I’ve never understood the tanning thing? If you tan naturally that is what your body naturally does; it’s nothing artificial so can it really be helped? Should people who tan really dark keep out of the sun?
