MAC I love your products but please feature someone with bad skin (hyper pigmentation, active acne, scarring etc.), it would be very helpful.
This model is blessed with amazing skin :)

Ugh her skin is flawless, she doesn't even need make up

[phyllisreneegober]

thank you thank you and thank you please show more women of color deeper skin tones this was great

[USER-cnuo]

She is gorgeous! Her skin tone is luscious.

[melvinas]

She was already beautiful without tons of makeup

[itsbeauty]

Her skin is so beautiful it reminds me of rich dark chocolate.

[babe]

Can you do some tutorials for scarring skin? I think it would be helpful. Thanks MAC for everything you shared

[gsunsetave]

WOW is she beautiful! Her skin was flawless before but this makeup look elevated her to the next level.

[jackiepeavy]

very helpful especially how-to use highlight & blush....more please😉

Your model is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! But you all slopped her makeup and took very little care to make the application seem flawless. I'm a cosmetologist and work for A major cosmetic line as business manager and I remember watching the Mac artists do make up and not one of them ever made a mistake or applied make up in an unbecoming way. This was the first time I had ever seen such a sloppy application from MAC artists. This person needs to spend more time in MAC classes!

Aaaaah! I love that her skin is not perfect! Thank you, M.A.C!

[ivaanwut]

Not to sound like a weirdo
But she's a delicious chocolate color
😊☺️🤗

[marissaa]

HER NATURAL SKIN IS PERFECTLY FINE. SHE DOES NOT NEED ANY FOUNDATION 👍👍

[galaxiesremain]

This kinda just made her face orange. She was beautiful before :/

[tejiuppal]

Oh yes, show is flawless foundation methods on a black women who naturally has flawless skin..

[cereyza]

how do I, someone that isn't a professional MUA, see so many errors in her application? cmon mac.

[BlairWaldorf]

Glad to see a reputable brand showing women of color how to CORRECTLY apply base make-up.

Love how she noted 1 SHADE lighter to highlight the high points NOT 10. I'm so ready for this obsession black women have with making their face look NOTHING what they actually look like without all the make-up. It seems we've moved from relaxing our hair to highlighting our faces to death to 'fit' some version of beauty.

[jessielyon]

My LORD! You have beautiful skin!😦😍😍😍😍😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[PRTTYBTTRFLY]
