+Mananeao SD I meant the makeup in THIS video was stunning. They really enhanced what they naturally had, both in hair in make up, instead of trying to make them something they're not. The clown one was done HORRIBLY! I felt so bad seeing the outcome after all that excitement.
+Angle Martin You're absolutely right! They enhanced what they had instead of trying to make them something they're not. Don't be sorry for complimenting a good stylist job!
tbh I am white and I don't want to be white. In my class there are only around 4 people that are white and other than that I still never wanted to be white 1. you can see more pores 2. tbh I feel thick girls (which I am ) look better in a darker skin tone 3. the fact that people say black lives matter and I get it back lives absolutely do matter but if a white person said white lives matter they would get hate and be called a douch or racist so it's just that I feel like coloured girls and guys look prettier and I'm not saying that white girls aren't pretty but there are just so many things that are better about coloured people than there is white people
I completely agree that young girls of color are brainwashed to think they're not beautiful from a painfully young age. I'm Latina but my mom is racially Caucasian Cuban so I was really pale like my mom as a child, had bright red hair and freckles and everyone, especially my mom, acted like I was some huge gift from God because I wasn't super tan like my Mexican, Aztec blooded father. Then my hair turned jet black by the time I was 10 and I got super tan from playing outside all the time and my mom acted like it was the worst thing in the world. She started coloring my hair because of it and didn't let me play outside anymore. I had to sneak out when she would take her afternoon naps so I could play. It was ridiculous. It got so bad that by the time I was 12 I completely stopped eating and became severely suicidal and self-harmed. It took a loooooot of soul searching, getting tf away from my mom, and having my own daughters to get those stupid ideas of not being worth anything out of my head. I tell my daughters constantly that as long as they are kind, caring, loving, and empathetic that they're incredibly beautiful. They're both very pale, with light brown hair, one with blue eyes, one with my black eyes, but none of that matters to me. They'll be just as beautiful to me if they grow up as good people. I let them choose their own clothes, their own hairstyles, their own jewelry(because they both happened to love it), their own hobbies, etc. I refuse to raise more kids that think they're not good enough bc they aren't exactly what their parents try to force them to be.
No worry some people who look like me want to look like you. Like why we tan and want to get rid of freckles and sometines I wish my hair was more average. I would not be insecure ever if I was you with my mindset.
I cannot express my love for this. The fact that they used make-up that didn't make any of them look ashy, they didn't straighten the black girls hair, and that the outfits fit all of them so well. THIS is how it's done.
Ray Bees The reason they titled the video like that is because you don't normally see people of other ethnicity's other than white doing pinup. I don't think they're trying to separate races. They're just trying to showcase what pin up looks like on people of colour.
But by doing this, they are lifting the spirits of people who aren't white because it is harder to deal with your race when you don't see people like you on TV and ads. It hurts when you aren't represented. I should know, I'm a Black girl and it took me a while to appreciate my skin color and find myself beautiful. It also includes them in an era that should have included them (well, their ancestors).
just this is so annoying, full of butthurt people im white and this is interesting to listen to and watch, why would i even feel this is offending me in some way? thats just plain stupid pls stop ppl
Because these silly feminists blame white people for all of their problems which is incredibly racist as not all white people are the same and people now should not have to take the blame for something that happened a long time ago.
There were sooooo many and such amazing talent too!! Nina Simone, Etta James, Arethea Franklin, just to start, even the lady who sang showboat was let down, she was WOC but had to pretend to be a white person playing a black woman (huuuuh???!) I think (in my humble opinion) that the society/media nowadays doesn't allow more diversity in entertainment than the 10 or 15 WOC that are around nowadays and they have been turned white (Niki ninja, lil Kim even Beyoncé is at times) in their skin tones, songs and how they act etc, and I think it's such a shame! Each ethnicity has wonderful things to bring to the rest of the world and we need more beautiful WOC!!
Nicki minaj has never bleached her skin or had any work done on her face. Look up her highschool yearbook photo and you'll see she was always light. Same for beyonce. Beyonce actually tanned herself for a good portion of her career
+Joy Walsh I agree with alot of what you're saying, but there is no such thing as "acting white" or "white songs". It's annoying when people say "oh you act very white"; it's like "no I act like an educated human being who presents themself well."
But I thought women want to be judged less on their physical attributes... and more on their personalities, abilities and characters.... ??? I am so confused. Mixed messages.
maybe because (some) of us want the color barriers broken. black white Latino Asian whatever. we all bleed red and breathe oxygen. we are all humans. the only race is the human race. the government wants us to believe differently because some people are darker/lighter in skin tones.
Everyone has been discriminated against since the beginning of time, basically. America hated Africans, Italians, the Irish, Muslim, Catholic, Protestant probably... basically everyone. I think that it's prejudism wasn't an ongoing issue then maybe the world could be a better place.
Can I just say.... Thank you Buzzfeed for a video like this. It brought me to tears, I am literally crying right now. To see these women, finally see their beauty and appreciate what others see in them is truly magnificent. It is extremely sad that the media doesn't try to be more inclusive, how m life could have been different seeing more women who looked like me, had my background, my style, in popular culture and being praised for it... maybe I would be more confident now. Maybe I would love and appreciate myself more now.
To the girl who said she wasn't a classic beauty , girl u have a perfect complexion , large eyes and beautiful cheekbones. U are a classic beauty u all are
Being naturally blonde haired, blue eyed, and insanely pale myself, I never understood why people aspire to look like this. I've actually been jealous of people of color. I think these women are very beautiful and unique. So in conclusion, things aren't always what they're talked up to be. ❤️ Stay true to yourself and never let anyone tell you you're not beautiful because of your hair, skin color, race, etc.
I think that everyone wants the things they can't have - at least at some point in time. Blondes want dark hair, straight locks want curly locks, darker people wish they were lighter, pale people want to be tan, etc. But this phase only lasts for as long as you let it. Once you learn to find beauty in yourself, you'll be content with everything you are. So just remember to listen your own great advice: Stay true to yourself and never let anyone, INCLUDING YOURSELF, tell you you're not beautiful ^_^
I grew up watching Disney and all the pretty princesses were blonde so I promised myself when I grow up I'm gonna dye my hair and have blue eyes with white skin. I did grow up but I don't like that anymore. I'm happy with my hair color my eye color and my skin color. Instead of just looking at white people as beautiful now I l look up to Gorgeous women of color like Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and Rihanna. It really doesn't matter how you look you just have to learn to love yourself 💛💛
Asal Esmaeeli when I was little, I always felt the same, I promised myself I would dye my hair blonde and be skinny, like a Disney princess. But I saw movies like Pocahontas and Mulan and I was able to realize that having dark hair and being curvy is actually ok. It's really sad how influential things in your childhood can affect you for so long.
Asal Esmaeeli Same here. In elementary I always wanted to dye my hair blonde and have longer hair because I wanted to be as close to a white Disney princess as possible because I only ever noticed the white ones or celebrities. I even took "you act like a white girl" as a great compliment because I didn't act like the stereotypical black girl. Truth was I was just weird, I didn't act like either stereotype white or black. But as I got older I started to see my skin and hair is actually beautiful. And I'd hope any race of people see themself as beautiful because that is important. I think here in America we need more diverse famous celebrities because that's what some small children look up to. There are a lot of black ones now but I think it would be cool if we had more Hispanic or Asian ones for children of those ethnicities in America to look up to and aspire to be. Some people may think it's not that big a deal, but in reality it is.
I always wanted to look like Jennifer Lopez or Aishwarya Rai. My white skin can't tan, I have to use sunblockers during summer or I'm red. Yes, you can feel bad about looking pale. P.S. The grass is always greener on the other side. ;)
5secondsof Phan do finger waves. Those always look great on short curly hair. And if you're really self-conscious after that, stick a sparkly headband on it.
I'm a white girl and I think that people of color are beautiful and I don't understand why racism has existed throughout so many years. How can you judge someone by the color of their skin, that just doesn't make sense to me.
When I was younger, I felt to left out because I was one of the only "colored" students in my class. I always told my mom that I didn't like my skin color, I wanted to be white or lighter skin. Then I met my best friend. She was Black, and I was the happiest little girl.
It sucks how little representation we have in the media. When I was younger I hated being black, I hated my hair and I felt so bad about myself at a young age. And it's also sad that little black and other people of colour have to go around looking up to non-people of colour but thinking that they'll never truly be that beautiful. I mean, don't get me wrong, I still look up to lots of non-poc role models but it'd have been great to see other people of colour like me growing up. Sorry for the rant, I'm sure you didn't want to get this long comment.
+• Mᴀᴢɪᴋᴇᴇɴ • heaven forbid woc focus on uplifting woc for a small amount if time. won't anyone think of the white women, who are largely socially accepted as the default beauty 😒
I think this (and the other BuzzfeedYellow video of girls transform into pinups) is one of my favourite makeup/clothing transformation videos. They look so happy at the outcomes, it makes your heart go boom.
I'm white but half Spanish with dark curly hair and I was always taller and bigger than the other girls, I remember sitting cross legged next to the other girls and comparing my legs and knees to them and thinking I was fat, I used to cry to my mum because I didn't have straight hair and all the pretty girls did. it's hard to be different but you learn to love your 'flaws'🌷
I didn't think they considered people of Spanish and European mixed. I mean Genealogy wise Spanish people are basically European with a few drops of Native and African. Very little African depending on your family tree.
+TalkTube23TV oh no we were discussing it as a separate topic. Note how maddy said 'I'm white' to start her sentence. I would in no way consider myself mixed or of colour; I'm as white as white people get, but have many other Spanish characteristics.
I wish my hair was naturally curly. I'm Filipino by the way. All the pretty girls at school with their hair in curls get all the attention because they're pretty. I wish I could look as skinny or as tall as them. They have flawless skin and me with my acne ridden body. It's not fair. You are soooo lucky. I don't know how to love my body. I just can't embrace my flaws. All the other girls are white (Armenians, Europeans) and then there are Hispanic/Latina girls who are still prettier by far. All the other Asian girls are flawless like the rest. Then there's me. The one Asian with the tanned skin and hourglass (I Guess?). I wish I was as skinny as them. If you want to know what I look like you can look at one of my vlogs. I don't need you to like or subscribe just watch. Thank you for taking the time to read this. You're beautiful, all of you reading this.
why should we separate the pin up video of white women and then the pin up video of women of color.. Just make one pin up video, and stop separating the two!!!
They're also proving a point. Women of color were never icons in that time due to racism and they're breaking the stereotype that only white women can be pinups
+mpk0422 very true I understand!! However I just feel that when they separate the two, the gap between them grows instead of making it smaller and recognizing everyone as equal
I'd NEVER think of myself as more beautiful than someone else just because I'm white. Like heck no have you seen the gorgeous golden glow of women of colour ?! I admire them ! Who am I to tell them they aren't breathtakingly beauties ? A white washed out toast, that's what I am.
Indians can be considered Asian even though we are biologically Caucasian. But you're right, there were no East Asian representation. Like they could've had Ashley
He is right. The indigenous people from the area of India were invaded by light skinned people who came from the Caucus mountains, so Indians you see today like Michelle are technically Caucasian. Caucasian does not always equal white, that's just what many people think
I know that this is kinda old, but come on, this ridiculous.I wish I had darker skin! It's so beatifull.You should never doubt the body you were born in, and if you were ever to change it, do it for you, nobody else, and do it in a healthy way.💗💗💗💗
I'm not completely sure but I think these videos are on a volunteer basis? Regardless, you're right. They have a half indian girl ( Michelle) but it would've been really great to see an east asian girl in pin up :)
OML! I can not get over how gorgeous they are! (before & after) Freddie looks like she should be singing in some amazing powerful Aretha Franklin voice
Wow, what beautiful gals! The girl at the end was right....if you want to do it, then DO IT. And rock it. I can't get over how great they did a job...usually you have to hold your breath with buzzfeed doing women of color makeovers, but whoever did the hair and makeup TOTALLY nailed it! And these women rocked it so well!
I want to be as eloquent as the buzzfeed girls. Every video I see these (and many other) woman in, they have such a beautiful choice of words. Freddie was spot on in the beginning, and I love hearing them talk about what they're passionate about.
You should always love your skin colour:) as a really white person (like Snow White) I always get these stupid comments about my skin. Like "milk bottle". I always wanted to have a darker skin colour. But I learned to love my skin colour :) And I think everybody needs that
Can you make a video on the light skin beauty standard that is common among people of color? I think it is a great topic to address because many people of color are ashamed of their natural skin tones.(especially in foreign countries)
Yess this is soo prevalent in countries inhabited by poc in Asia/India,Africa,the Caribbean and Latin America basically any country where the average skin tone is darker.💯💯💯💯💯👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
shoulda' known pinupgirl was behind this! love this, love them, love doris mayday~ there are some badass WoC who modelled in the pinup style & of COURSE they're never championed as much as Bette Paige, Marilyn Monroe, etc. the ladies look great here, and thank goodness there are many faces into pinup styles now :)
one of my white friends who isn't very open minded said "you're over exaggerating, representation doesn't matter. you probably just imagined it" but so many other girls feel the same way that I do so ???
A lot of white people say things like this because they are the ones that are often represented well in the media, so they can't imagine having to only cling to one or two token people as a representation of them.
They all look amazing! For an wonderful example of a pin up starlett from the 40's that was also a woman of color, check our Rita Hayworth. She's probably my favorite actress from that time. Definitely the most beautiful, at least to me. Her real name was Margarita Carmen Cansino. Her father was Spanish. They just dyed her hair red.
is she a white women doin a black girls hair and makeup. #trueartist it gets on my nerves when people call themselves mua's and can't match a skin tone darker than theirs
Aw disappointed that theres no east asian only half indian and she doesnt have similar/common features of easten asians...(chinese,vietnamese,japanese,korean) Feeling like eastern asians aren't important or are ignored when it comes to these videos oh well...
Isn't it hilarious how the pin up assistants can do black women's make up better than the make up artist in the other buzz feed videos?
And the makeup! Remember that one with clown contouring (?)
These gals totally did a great job!
+Jazmine Jules Ikr?
+Mananeao SD I meant the makeup in THIS video was stunning. They really enhanced what they naturally had, both in hair in make up, instead of trying to make them something they're not.
The clown one was done HORRIBLY! I felt so bad seeing the outcome after all that excitement.
+Angle Martin You're absolutely right! They enhanced what they had instead of trying to make them something they're not. Don't be sorry for complimenting a good stylist job!
they're professionals
Finally the makeup artists got it right and I love the woman doing the hair because she is so good at pin up 😭😭😭❤️
So true!
yes
Ikr?!
someone remember how the hair stylist at the 1:50 and 1:53 call? i'm sure she have a youtube channel but i can't remember her name. help me please!
+Celeste Blu idk sry
They look amazing! Three cheers for no ashy makeup
True 💕
certainly!!! :-) ;-)
Right
AND THE HAIR IS DONE ON POINT TOO IM SO PROUD THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW
EXACTLY. I WAS SO SCARED THAT THE MAKEUP AND HAIR WOULDN'T BE GOOD
who else thinks people of color suit pin-up extremely well? its just something about their features that add a little something special to it,
Anja Pajari so true❤️
Anja Pajari "people of color" refers to a huge variety of ethnic backgrounds with very different, distinct facial features though
tbh I am white and I don't want to be white. In my class there are only around 4 people that are white and other than that I still never wanted to be white 1. you can see more pores 2. tbh I feel thick girls (which I am ) look better in a darker skin tone 3. the fact that people say black lives matter and I get it back lives absolutely do matter but if a white person said white lives matter they would get hate and be called a douch or racist so it's just that I feel like coloured girls and guys look prettier and I'm not saying that white girls aren't pretty but there are just so many things that are better about coloured people than there is white people
Pathfinder Ryder triggered much?

Someone get rid of those onions
No worry some people who look like me want to look like you. Like why we tan and want to get rid of freckles and sometines I wish my hair was more average. I would not be insecure ever if I was you with my mindset.
PREECH
Finally MUA's on buzzfeed that actually know how to do makeup
yeess and do hair too
Just what I was thinking 😂
seriously though.
Amen!
i was just going to say!
I cannot express my love for this. The fact that they used make-up that didn't make any of them look ashy, they didn't straighten the black girls hair, and that the outfits fit all of them so well. THIS is how it's done.
If women started wearing pin up again...omg...i'd go crazy. It's so hot.
Viccy Que ikr the pin up style is amazing but I could never pull it off
Emily
Ya from what I've seen it is hard to maintain or is it...
Emily anyone can pull it off!
Viccy Que nope! you just have to get into the hang of it
Viccy Que no one has the time to fix their hair
There are lots of white people taking this the wrong way and I couldn't be more annoyed.
every buzzfeed video ever... pretty much...
Ray Bees The reason they titled the video like that is because you don't normally see people of other ethnicity's other than white doing pinup. I don't think they're trying to separate races. They're just trying to showcase what pin up looks like on people of colour.

It also includes them in an era that should have included them (well, their ancestors).
They always take everything "the wrong way". They can't stand not being in the spotlight.
+Ray Bees Buzzfeed people didn't create the racial segregation in America, WHITE FOLKS did.
i cant even decide whose is my favourite look bc they all look POPPINNN
I loved michelle's style tho even tho the dress kinda looked sluty!I know she can rock that style❤️
Isn't that a swimsuit though?
Right throughout the vid I was like " YESS MICHELLE" "YESS FREDDIE" 😂😂😂
+Lpsrocks246💩 it was a swimsuit
I am in love with Freddie's look like bamm😍😍
Yessica is so pretty, how could she ever think she wasn't.
Freddie so so pretty and beautiful I love her
Aria Izzo which one is freddie?
Shardae Page the black girl

Freddie doesn't look like a pinup girl, she looks like ROYALTY.
here comes the floods of comments saying how this is somehow against white people lol
It is
Its not, i just dont think americans looks outside america.
@BrownMouse
Howdy friend. How may I ask is this against white people
lmao true
Only it isnt
just this is so annoying, full of butthurt people
im white and this is interesting to listen to and watch, why would i even feel this is offending me in some way? thats just plain stupid
pls stop ppl
Because these silly feminists blame white people for all of their problems which is incredibly racist as not all white people are the same and people now should not have to take the blame for something that happened a long time ago.
+MFlynny86 theyre not blamimg anyone lmao what
+MFlynny86 do..do you know the definition of sexist? "these feminists blame white people for everything and that's sexist"....what??
Agree one hundred percent and also, hey!!! BEY HIVE!
agreed
I think it's weird that people don't realize that they were many people of color who were popular during the pin-up era
There were sooooo many and such amazing talent too!! Nina Simone, Etta James, Arethea Franklin, just to start, even the lady who sang showboat was let down, she was WOC but had to pretend to be a white person playing a black woman (huuuuh???!)

+zCBSajsBXN sdjzcnaskxn are you sure about Niki? Her skin tone is incredibly light now? If she was then cool then the world owes her an apology!
Yeah I'm sure. Although she hasn't bleached herself, wearing make-up lighten than her skin tone isn't much better
+Joy Walsh I agree with alot of what you're saying, but there is no such thing as "acting white" or "white songs". It's annoying when people say "oh you act very white"; it's like "no I act like an educated human being who presents themself well."
man the black girl in a yellow-ish dress lookef like a GODDESS oh my goddddddd
Laura Costa Freddie is the goddess I believe your talking about
Laura Costa that's Freddie!
Yessica was by far the prettiest
+Mind Flowers I forgot Freddie was in this. She's so pretty too.
They were all beautiful
Damnnn they all look good 😍 this kind of videos makes me appreciate my skin more ☺️
Thats great because thats the point! Uplifting us! But for whatever reason that offends some ppl.
appreciate make up more
But I thought women want to be judged less on their physical attributes... and more on their personalities, abilities and characters.... ???
I am so confused. Mixed messages.

+July Chan did you mean like to much powder
I agree I am white but Freddie is actually the prettiest girl I have ever seen
ikr
Karen LM yup
Why must white people ask why couldn't the name be different? Can POC have one thing without you all feeling left out
Right ?!
maybe because (some) of us want the color barriers broken. black white Latino Asian whatever. we all bleed red and breathe oxygen. we are all humans. the only race is the human race. the government wants us to believe differently because some people are darker/lighter in skin tones.
+Kayla Storms you smart , you special - DJ Khaled 2016
But don't undermine us minorities we just want to be seen as fully equal.
Everyone has been discriminated against since the beginning of time, basically. America hated Africans, Italians, the Irish, Muslim, Catholic, Protestant probably... basically everyone. I think that it's prejudism wasn't an ongoing issue then maybe the world could be a better place.
+StepFatherEvan Don't assume everyone is out to get you. Even if the majority sucks like we all know it does there's only room for hope.
Honestly all of these girls are drop dead gorgeous
With or without the hair and makeup

She reminds me of a Greek goddess aaaaa

Asal Esmaeeli when I was little, I always felt the same, I promised myself I would dye my hair blonde and be skinny, like a Disney princess. But I saw movies like Pocahontas and Mulan and I was able to realize that having dark hair and being curvy is actually ok. It's really sad how influential things in your childhood can affect you for so long.
Asal Esmaeeli Same here. In elementary I always wanted to dye my hair blonde and have longer hair because I wanted to be as close to a white Disney princess as possible because I only ever noticed the white ones or celebrities. I even took "you act like a white girl" as a great compliment because I didn't act like the stereotypical black girl. Truth was I was just weird, I didn't act like either stereotype white or black. But as I got older I started to see my skin and hair is actually beautiful. And I'd hope any race of people see themself as beautiful because that is important. I think here in America we need more diverse famous celebrities because that's what some small children look up to. There are a lot of black ones now but I think it would be cool if we had more Hispanic or Asian ones for children of those ethnicities in America to look up to and aspire to be. Some people may think it's not that big a deal, but in reality it is.
Asal Esmaeeli I'm very pale and redhair. I always wanted to be black with black hair. Like esmeralda, yasmin, etc.
I always wanted to look like Jennifer Lopez or Aishwarya Rai. My white skin can't tan, I have to use sunblockers during summer or I'm red. Yes, you can feel bad about looking pale.
P.S. The grass is always greener on the other side. ;)
Emily de Ruijter Ikr, women of dark skin a awesome
Seeing another Latina dressing up as pinup, it makes me really want to do it also
Nati anne DO IT!
5secondsof Phan do finger waves. Those always look great on short curly hair. And if you're really self-conscious after that, stick a sparkly headband on it.
Nati anne SAME I've never seen a Latina dressing up as pinup before
do it! ☺️
Nati anne she not latina
I'm a white girl and I think that people of color are beautiful and I don't understand why racism has existed throughout so many years. How can you judge someone by the color of their skin, that just doesn't make sense to me.
Is it weird that i think white is a color too? :)
+Sara oh come on....
+Sara You know what I mean 😂😂
Stupid people everywhere, my dear.
racism dind't started because they thought poc weren't pretty lol
When I was younger, I felt to left out because I was one of the only "colored" students in my class. I always told my mom that I didn't like my skin color, I wanted to be white or lighter skin. Then I met my best friend. She was Black, and I was the happiest little girl.
She helped me learn to love myself and my skin and I felt better about how I looked.
Melanie Smith Thanks, I hate that too. I hope one day we'll all learn to love.
It sucks how little representation we have in the media. When I was younger I hated being black, I hated my hair and I felt so bad about myself at a young age. And it's also sad that little black and other people of colour have to go around looking up to non-people of colour but thinking that they'll never truly be that beautiful. I mean, don't get me wrong, I still look up to lots of non-poc role models but it'd have been great to see other people of colour like me growing up.
Sorry for the rant, I'm sure you didn't want to get this long comment.
Oh, thank you! Much love from California! Now I'm doing so great, I actually see people try to get this chocolate toned skin like me! :p
Samantha chocolate is yummy, so why do people hate it (if you know what I mean)?
Women of color are so gorgeous, every single one of us! Respect, love, and appreciate WOC.👸🏽👸🏾👸🏿 #goddesses
Amen to that!
So white women are not gorgeous?
+• Mᴀᴢɪᴋᴇᴇɴ • This comment is celebrating Woc. Nobody said anything bad about white chicks. Bye felicia!
Kimara Suarez It is like ONLY color women are goregous. :)
+• Mᴀᴢɪᴋᴇᴇɴ • heaven forbid woc focus on uplifting woc for a small amount if time. won't anyone think of the white women, who are largely socially accepted as the default beauty 😒
Wow all you women looked amazing... But Freddie really reminded me of Shug Avery from The Color Purple... Stunning....
I know right. They are all so beautiful.
YAS
Yay! I'm not the only one who thought that!
Freddie looking like a glo goddess
Her dress is everything
+Kadine Lindsay I'm saying giving me life rn!
jaboy0978 Yaaaaaaaaaassssss
I think this (and the other BuzzfeedYellow video of girls transform into pinups) is one of my favourite makeup/clothing transformation videos. They look so happy at the outcomes, it makes your heart go boom.
Personally I've always thought Michelle is very beautiful
And Freddie too
my stopped when I saw Michelle in the intro
Freddie is freakin' beautiful BTW. Not only in this video but just as a woman.
I'm white but half Spanish with dark curly hair and I was always taller and bigger than the other girls, I remember sitting cross legged next to
the other girls and comparing my legs and knees to them and thinking I was fat, I used to cry to my mum because I didn't have straight hair and all the pretty girls did. it's hard to be different but you learn to love your 'flaws'🌷
This describes me perfectly. Same nationality, same hair, same legs. It's hard but girl we beautiful ❤️
+Izzy//Sanchez xo ❤️❤️
I didn't think they considered people of Spanish and European mixed. I mean Genealogy wise Spanish people are basically European with a few drops of Native and African. Very little African depending on your family tree.
+TalkTube23TV oh no we were discussing it as a separate topic. Note how maddy said 'I'm white' to start her sentence. I would in no way consider myself mixed or of colour; I'm as white as white people get, but have many other Spanish characteristics.
I wish my hair was naturally curly. I'm Filipino by the way. All the pretty girls at school with their hair in curls get all the attention because they're pretty. I wish I could look as skinny or as tall as them. They have flawless skin and me with my acne ridden body. It's not fair. You are soooo lucky. I don't know how to love my body. I just can't embrace my flaws. All the other girls are white (Armenians, Europeans) and then there are Hispanic/Latina girls who are still prettier by far. All the other Asian girls are flawless like the rest. Then there's me. The one Asian with the tanned skin and hourglass (I Guess?). I wish I was as skinny as them. If you want to know what I look like you can look at one of my vlogs. I don't need you to like or subscribe just watch. Thank you for taking the time to read this. You're beautiful, all of you reading this.
why should we separate the pin up video of white women and then the pin up video of women of color.. Just make one pin up video, and stop separating the two!!!
Views.
They're also proving a point. Women of color were never icons in that time due to racism and they're breaking the stereotype that only white women can be pinups
No
+mpk0422 very true I understand!! However I just feel that when they separate the two, the gap between them grows instead of making it smaller and recognizing everyone as equal
They just wanted to take a moment to focus on women of color and racism. I think it's pretty great :)
Freddie looks so professional
They all look gorgeous but holy crap Freddie dayummmmmmm
Michelle looks like Peggy Carter who was Captain America's boss in 1940s.
She does!
She does!
yep she did
This made me so happy because pinup is one of my favourite styles! Way to go Buzzfeed!
+Maryanne Nwoye What's that supposed to mean?
I wish they would add asians, like koreans.
Now that you mention it I haven't seen many East Asian women at buzzfeed. There have a couple East Asian men though/:
They did one on Ashly in another video I guess, I don't remember which one it was.
+mangastar234 there's Ashley, the lesbian girl whose name I forgot and the new intern.
Kaila D yeah I remember Ashley but I couldn't think of anyone besides her lol.
true
Yessicas hair is on point lol
I needed this because I love pinup stuff but thought I couldn't pull it off 😭
me too. im too shy to try it. but now i wanna do it more! haha
+Alejandra Martinez thank you 😊
Freddie is such a classic, timeless beauty.
I'd NEVER think of myself as more beautiful than someone else just because I'm white. Like heck no have you seen the gorgeous golden glow of women of colour ?! I admire them ! Who am I to tell them they aren't breathtakingly beauties ? A white washed out toast, that's what I am.
breathtaking*
Haha 😂 yeah they are beautiful but you don't have to put yourself down tho😅. You are pretty too😙!!
we need to put this skin color hierarchy behind us, we can all be equal and stunning :)
This chain of comments make so happy!☺️ everyone is beautiful in their own way
Very enduring 😊but pls don't think of yourself like that sweetie
Stay blessed❤️
Freddie looks so good in that color omg!
Latina,Caucasian, Dark skinned/African american (THEY ALREADY INCLUDED INDIAN IN THIS VIDEO)....
Let's see... what are we missing?
EAST ASIAN
+Melody Chew Geographically, yes, but Indians are racially Caucasian.
***** Skin color doesn't define race. Look it up. Indians ARE Caucasian.
did u watch the video? there was Caucasian/ASIAN and poc refers to anyone not fully white
Indians can be considered Asian even though we are biologically Caucasian. But you're right, there were no East Asian representation. Like they could've had Ashley
He is right. The indigenous people from the area of India were invaded by light skinned people who came from the Caucus mountains, so Indians you see today like Michelle are technically Caucasian. Caucasian does not always equal white, that's just what many people think
I LOVE YESSICAS HAIR
hers is so pretty!
She's the prettiest, honestly.
MARCELINA IKR!
Wish Daysha was in this video. At least she would have gotten better makeup than what she has had in other vids.
I know that this is kinda old, but come on, this ridiculous.I wish I had darker skin! It's so beatifull.You should never doubt the body you were born in, and if you were ever to change it, do it for you, nobody else, and do it in a healthy way.💗💗💗💗
+What Candy Can Be Irrelevant.
thats so nice for you to say :)
+Aja Nile Spreading encouragement is NEVER irrelevant!
+awshastar26 But fetishizing dark skin is.
👏👏👏👏They killed it
oh my gosh everyone looked SO BEAUTIFUL!! 😫💓
Freddie is rocking that dress.
loved this video but wished they'd had an east asian girl :(
Believe the one girl was Indian
I'm not completely sure but I think these videos are on a volunteer basis? Regardless, you're right. They have a half indian girl ( Michelle) but it would've been really great to see an east asian girl in pin up :)
Isn't Michelle 1/2 East Asian...her mom is from India.
+ohsnapiam59 India is part of South Asia, not East Asia
I also wanted to see a Native American girl... :(
I wish I had Yessica's or Freddie's body >___
same girl
KimchiTaco You're beautiful just like you are

+ShayZ Thank you so much. 😆
+ShayZ is it for free?
YES i couldn't believe it 2 in the beginning
OML! I can not get over how gorgeous they are! (before & after) Freddie looks like she should be singing in some amazing powerful Aretha Franklin voice
Love this!!!
Think I'm gonna try some pinup styles ~
Go for it, girl! Bet it would look gorgeous on you :)
I bet it would look marvelous on you
Ah now you lot gettin me excited for no reason xD haha I'll deffo try it soon ^_^
You're so pretty I'm sure it'll look great 😄
you'll look amazing and super stylish
Yessica looks absolutely stunning
Same for all of them
Yeshiva and Michelle are so beautiful omf
The again they all are
lmao you mean Yessica? yeshiva is a Jewish schooling system
Oh yeah I typed in yessica but autocorrect failed me.
And Freddie
Wow, what beautiful gals! The girl at the end was right....if you want to do it, then DO IT. And rock it.
I can't get over how great they did a job...usually you have to hold your breath with buzzfeed doing women of color makeovers, but whoever did the hair and makeup TOTALLY nailed it! And these women rocked it so well!
Michelle is beautiful!!
I SWEAR.
I LOVE FREDDIE'S DRESS!!!!!
I love the way Yessica's hair is styled omg 😍. Everyone looks so beautiful 💜💜
I want to be as eloquent as the buzzfeed girls. Every video I see these (and many other) woman in, they have such a beautiful choice of words. Freddie was spot on in the beginning, and I love hearing them talk about what they're passionate about.
You should always love your skin colour:) as a really white person (like Snow White) I always get these stupid comments about my skin. Like "milk bottle". I always wanted to have a darker skin colour. But I learned to love my skin colour :) And I think everybody needs that
🙌💜👏👏
True ! 💗
Maythe Same, all women and men need to appreciate their skin colour no matter what it is.
Yessica is seriously the prettiest girl I've ever seen.
When the video was lit and then you decide to read some comments...
a makeup artist who's actually good at doing makeup?? on buzzfeed?? wow it was about time
that light pink color looks really good on Yessica
All the transformations were stunning!! Love every single one of them!!
Can you make a video on the light skin beauty standard that is common among people of color? I think it is a great topic to address because many people of color are ashamed of their natural skin tones.(especially in foreign countries)
(I'm Indian) And in the Indian community, many people I know tear themselves down when they get darker as a result of being outside.
Yess this is soo prevalent in countries inhabited by poc in Asia/India,Africa,the Caribbean and Latin America basically any country where the average skin tone is darker.💯💯💯💯💯👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
shoulda' known pinupgirl was behind this! love this, love them, love doris mayday~
there are some badass WoC who modelled in the pinup style & of COURSE they're never championed as much as Bette Paige, Marilyn Monroe, etc. the ladies look great here, and thank goodness there are many faces into pinup styles now :)
also the commentary from everyone is great
Agreed. I grew up idolizing Marilyn Monroe but I knew I'd never be like her because I'm black. But this is so inspiring.
one of my white friends who isn't very open minded said "you're over exaggerating, representation doesn't matter. you probably just imagined it" but so many other girls feel the same way that I do so ???
Rock what you want to! Representation matters so much, so be a part of it! :)
A lot of white people say things like this because they are the ones that are often represented well in the media, so they can't imagine having to only cling to one or two token people as a representation of them.
Meagan Carr no white people dont care cuz i can relate to a character even if he is black
"cutie with the booty, ayeee" that made me laugh that was so adorable 😂
they all look AMAZING oh my goodness!!
i LOVE yessica's hair wood
couldn't agree more, they're absolutely gorgeous!
They all look amazing! For an wonderful example of a pin up starlett from the 40's that was also a woman of color, check our Rita Hayworth. She's probably my favorite actress from that time. Definitely the most beautiful, at least to me. Her real name was Margarita Carmen Cansino. Her father was Spanish. They just dyed her hair red.
shes very white passing tho :/
she also had hairline electrolysis and MAYBE bleached skin. Some articles say she did, others that she didn't
she passed herself off as a white girl. there are much better examples
Aww, Michelle's reaction when she saw herself made me happy
This makes me want to cry. They're all so beautiful.
YAASSSS FREDDIE
Also michelle is life
and Quinta though she's not in this vid
+Audree Osuntokun Quinta is queen
Allie Norckauer yupp
is she a white women doin a black girls hair and makeup. #trueartist it gets on my nerves when people call themselves mua's and can't match a skin tone darker than theirs
Aw disappointed that theres no east asian only half indian and she doesnt have similar/common features of easten asians...(chinese,vietnamese,japanese,korean) Feeling like eastern asians aren't important or are ignored when it comes to these videos oh well...
jezus
yeah i feel the same way ://
I'm pretty sure buzzfeed made other videos regarding these matter with East Asians.
i would love to see eastern asians dressing as pin ups !! too bad!!!!
They should, there were some hottie Asian actresses back then like Anna Wong. Wish they were more vocal about diverse women in Hollywood.
Briana is so freaking adorable help
It's so crazy for me because to me they're all so incredibly beautiful to hear that they didn't think they were beautiful
Can I just marry Michelle?
I feel like everybody wants to because she's like perfect 😂
I'm kinda sad that there weren't any eastern asians in this vid but they looked amazingly beautiful though!
aw, i would have loved that, too.
They all looked so beautiful oml
They all look amazing! I wish there was a salon like this where I live!
I hate how they all pitty everyone it makes others feel bad
Who is they? Why would this make you feel bad?
What makes you feel bad?
what others?
Who?
who, Hannah? who?
No matter what skin tone, weight, nationality or hair you have, you can ALWAYS rock pinup, like no one cannot look stunning in pinup
Why is Michelle so beautiful? My gosh, she is such a perfect canvas!
