LIGHTS OUT DIANA MAKEUP SKIN

My father used to tell us horror stories about women he knew who used this stuff and supposedly got skin cancer. Ebony magazine used to run ads advertising this stuff back in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s before Black was beautiful. There were other brands too [[Ultra bleach & Glow), all designed to lighten and brighten dark skin. Nadinola is still made, but now it's marketed as a cocoa butter or a skin tone brightner. To me Diana Ross was black and beautiful then and she's still black and beautiful now.īlack drug stores used to sell something called Nadinola skin bleaching cream. Plus if you go back and look at a collection of her photos from the early 60s thru just the late 60s you will see that her skin complection varies, as do most african americans. I'm sure she still does not use the same type of makeup today that she used 45 years ago. And then to want to compare Diana Ross to a photo from 45 years ago is just obnoxious, never mind the fact that you fail to take into consideration lighting, different types of cameras, or even makeup. Surely you must know that most blacks skin color will change depending on how much exposure you have to the sun. I think your opinion is misguided at best.As an African-American I can tell you Ive never heard of anyone lightening their skin.

Whether Diana wants to be black or not is debatable, but I do think she wants to match her childrens' skin tones and I'm not Some of us have been doing it for years, before Michael Jackson took it to an extreme. It's common for some colored folk to lighten their shin tones. She does not appear to be the same shade she was in 1965 when she was clearly black
