Meghan Markle addresses Skin Lightening & airbrushing in Photos
Suits actress Meghan Markle is speaking out once further against racism after penning a touching letter about her and her family’s encounters with it during their lives. Markle opens up about the stereotypes and inequality she’s facing in Hollywood because of her skin tone in the April issue of Allure, which includes articles about diversity, representation, and the politics of skin color in beauty from women of color. This includes everything from being misclassified at castings and getting her freckled skin airbrushed and whitewashed in shoots for the actress, whose mother is African-American and whose father is Caucasian.
She tells Allure, “I have the most vivid memories of being seven years old and my mom picking me up from my grandmother’s home.” “There we were, the three of us, a mocha ombré next to my mother’s caramel complexion and light-skinned, freckled me, a family tree in an ombré of mocha. . I recall a feeling of identity that has nothing to do with my skin tone. ”

Her comforts, though, were put to the test when Markle left her home. “At Northwestern, I took an African-American studies class where we discussed colorism; it was the first time I was able to give a name to feeling too bright in the black community and too mixed in the white community.” I was labeled as “ethnically ambiguous” for castings. Was it true that I was Latina? Are you a Sephardic Jew? “Do you mean ‘exotic Caucasian?’”
Meghan Markle has spoken out about colorism not only because of preconceived ideas about her skin colour, but also because her freckles have been virtually omitted from photographs of the actress. She tells Allure, “Adding the freckles to the mix produced quite the conundrum.” “To this day, my pet peeve is that a photo shoot’s skin tone is altered and my freckles are airbrushed out.”
What she says about them, on the other hand, is inspiring for someone who has tried to accept and enjoy their own beautiful spots: “I’ll share what my father told me when I was younger with all my freckle-faced friends: ‘A face without freckles is a night without stars.'”
