Is it racist to name foundation colors after countries?

Question

I just watched a buzzfeed video where they said that it’s racist to name foundation colors after countries and I’m just like ??
I think it’s Nars that does it? But one white shade was called like Norway and the dark shade was called Mali and they were talking about how racist it is?? 
Thoughts??

Answer

it's not racist if it's like a fact...most people from Norway are this complexion and most people from whatever place are this complexion. why do people make racism out of things that aren't?

Answer

🙄 people will find anything racist nowadays

Answer

I saw that video and didn’t totally agree with that. But they did mention that “nude” is always reserved for light color foundations, which is just inaccurate and not inclusive, so I did agree with that.

Answer

Idk. I feel like if I see a shade called Norway, I know that’s not for me. But if I see one called Egypt or Jamaica, I know I’m in the right place. I can see how it could be offensive though, because a country isn’t limited to one shade.

Answer

I saw that video and lol’d at that comment too. Lol
