On young, white women, dark circles are deemed “cool” or “edgy”, with some even drawing them on. For brown women, it feels like a different story.

I feel like people are nicer to me when I don’t have dark circles, to the point where I’ll put makeup on specifically to do things.
On the surface, it seems like this trend is here for self-acceptance, but dig a little deeper and it simply glorifies “natural” beauty and feeds into pretty privilege.
