Makeup is a massive part of content on the internet. A slew of beauty influencers have achieved international fame thanks to their skills with a brush, and makeup enthusiasts are always scouring for reviews to see which new products are worth their money. However, sometimes certain makeup looks can cause controversy \u2014 especially when these looks tread into sensitive territory. That\u2019s exactly what\u2019s happening with Russian makeup artist Daria Graph after one of her makeup transformation videos went viral online. TikTok makeup artist faces backlash for \u201cchanging races\u201d Daria Graph is a prominent makeup artist on TikTok who boasts over 3 million followers on the video-sharing app. Her looks often feature bright colors or artistic elements\u2026 but a couple of her videos are stirring up debate. On August 30, Graph uploaded a shocking transformation clip that showed the blonde makeup artist with a long, curly wig and dark skin. Commenters were quick to call out Graph for seemingly using \u201cblackface\u201d in this transformation video, which currently boasts over 4.8 million views. \u201cUm, why did she think this was okay?\u201d one user wrote. \u201cCrazy makeup skills, but nah, this shouldn\u2019t have happened,\u201d another said. \u201cThis is \u2018black face lite \u2122\ufe0f\u2019 and you got the nerve to have it pinned\u2026\u201d another wrote. Graph went on to upload the transformation several more times \u2014 but that isn\u2019t the only time she\u2019s done this look. In two other videos uploaded last year, she also donned the curly wig and boasted a darker skin tone, similarly sparking accusations of \u201cblackface.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first makeup artist on TikTok to come under fire for \u201cchanging races\u201d using cosmetics, by far. Earlier this year, TikTok user easy_baobo sparked backlash across social media after transforming into late NBA star Kobe Bryant, prompting a heated conversation online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
