This is 1000% my opinion and I just wanted other’s feedback.
I was very uncomfortable with how the LL’s talked to the executive editor of Vogue, the terms and downplaying how much makeup knowledge she already knew / judging the products in her makeup bag with words like, “this is very fitting for you” and “this is your aura/vibe” and it’s just a jar of Vaseline etc. which came across with some kind of tone.
Well, they go to South Korea for a scalp/hair treatment assessment. Again, another moment recorded on IG showing them downplaying people by being like “she’s good with her little IPad” and judging the machines they use while washing her hair.
She proceeds to keep saying her and her wife will be like “Korean sisters” and “we are going to look like K Pop stars”
By the end of this all, she doesn’t say she didn’t like the treatment, but she didn’t say she loved it either and just said “hair is a different style for sure” like yeah, volumized and not weighed down with a million products you’re testing. The reason why she probably got noted for having damaged scalp is due to the different concoctions she sprays into her hair.
Idk, her tone and the way she talks to people who aren’t white is weird to me and maybe I’m just reading too much into it. But this video sparked up those same thoughts. At a minimum, she talks to people around her like they are dumb as bricks and just speaks to the camera audience the whole time in front of people doubting what they are doing.

I don’t have anything substantial to add. But them saying “definitely a different style” is insane, both of their heads of hair look so much better than the usual horse tails they wear, smh.
Ugh, the AI use on top of everything else 🙄 gross.
I believe it was the editor of Allure that they talked ~~down~~ to. That conversation bothered me a lot because she was saying that POC-made products “aligned” with the “aura” of the POC editor. Would they say that a Tarte product is “aligned with the aura” of a white editor in chief? Probably not.
Being condescending is like 80% of their brand at this point and I can’t understand why their fans like it.
idkkkk this seemed lowkey racist from them when I watched ….or maybe I am too woke 🥴
Every time I hear these women talk I think they sound arrogant. Even the way they talk down to their dedicated fan base, such toxic egos. You can explain things without being so incredibly condescending, she thinks she knows more about makeup than anyone else on the planet. All the corporate speak and know-it-all attitude is insufferable imo.
