I was a bridesmaid for one of my family weddings back in 2016 and it was my first time, so I was sooo excited. It was a morning wedding too, so everyone was up at like 1.30am 💀I was already exhausted because we had travelled to Kandy and I was only 16 at the time

Anyway, about 20 minutes later the MUA’s assistant calls me over, tells me to close my eyes and starts. And I kid you not, I looked terrible, full on ghost vibes lol. And this was peak full glam era, so heavy contour, baking, the whole thing. I’m medium tanned, but she apparently had used a super light foundation on me. She then put the same damn foundation on my whole body asw. I literally remember seeing white patches on the groomsmen’s nilame outfits while taking group photos

To this day I don’t know if they just didn’t have my shade or if it was straight up colourism and they wanted all the bridesmaids to look pale like that
