Kim Kardashian West has been accused of blackface as she promotes her new makeup line.
The reality star – who posted the image as a means of sharing her very first KKW Beauty product – was called out by various Twitter users after her skin appeared significantly darker than usual in the promo shot.
“Black women get told to lighten. Meanwhile, Kim spends her entire career in perpetual blackface and is lauded for her beauty,” one Twitter user wrote on the platform.
Another posted a composite image of Kardashian West with and without the contouring lining her cheeks to suggest she doesn’t always look this dark.
she was armenian years ago too but she wasn’t this “tan” back then hm???
