Why Black Women Need to Boycott MAC Cosmetics
BLACK WOMEN need to boycott MAC cosmetics. Why? Because rather than put a black woman up front and center as the face of MAC, they instead chose a white male in drag. Not a woman. Not the primary purchasers of their products. No, a man.
Bruce Jenner.

So you all spending thousands of dollars a year on MAC cosmetics need to stop. You as a black woman are clearly NOT their target market and never were. Any time a company built on the wallets of REAL women turns their backs on them and insults us with this shit here, that corporation needs to feel the wrath.
Even last week a lone picture of a black woman’s LIPS brought the wrath of racists, and white folks lost their damn minds.
In spite of the fact that they applaud full lips when they appear on Kylie Jenner, Angelina Jolie, etc., when they see natural full lips on black skin, they went straight stupid. Posting up all kinds of racist nonsense on the MAC page. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/the-racist-row-on-macs-instagram-shows-that-were-only-happy-to-celebrate-black-features-on-white-a6887371.html
And all they showed was her lips.
It’s time for black women to get in those corporate pockets. My suggestions: Return shit you bought from MAC. Get your money back because it made you itch. Get your money back because it broke you out. Get your money back because the smell makes you nauseous. Get your money back because you developed a lump on your lip.
Return whatever you bought to the store you bought it from immediately and get your money back.
Then NEVER, EVER buy a MAC cosmetic product ever again. Whoever at MAC thought this was a good idea is obviously stupid. They need to understand what time it is.

and I already did before I came across this because over time ive spent way too much on mac and honestly their products are not that great the concealer doesn’t cover anything the foundation is oily and separates while I’m wearing it the mascara is horrible for the price the blushes are ok but too expensive the lipsticks are being duped by many other companies and most other companies are making the same colors as mac some better quality for way cheaper I do not like the sales ppl at my local mac counter they are rude and couldn’t suggest the right foundation shade if their job depended on it and to me mac is old news now they will do whatever they can to make a sale. I am not a fan of bruce jenner and would never consider purchasing a lipstick inspired by him and all the other mac collections are so repetitive and silly like the selena collection smh I wouldn’t purchase that because mac just wants sales is all and selena is dead and has been many years so she doesn’t have a clue that ppl are making money off of her as they did with Marilyn Monroe smh I am no longer a fan of mac cosmetics
