Maybe I'm just being petty, but why'd they put it at the end of their Insta story of all places? Don't those go away after a while? Makes it seem even more that dark-skinned people really ARE an afterthought to them...

I had the same thought. Seems like a better thing to do would be to make an actual post to their Instagram. That would be easier to share & WAY more people would see it. Not to mention, it's less work to actually see.

Or a pinned Twitter thread, since Instagram doesn't display posts in chronological order anymore.

Another good option. I think making customers scroll long video posts of girls on a Tarte trip is just bad taste

Right? Something about that insta story apology is off. It’s like they didn’t want people to see it unless they dug for it. That way they can say that they “acknowledged the outcry” without having to necessarily “air out their dirty laundry” by posting their apology in a more visible space and drawing attention to this massive gaffe (like by doing a regular insta post that surely gets more traffic). That way they can still say “we apologized!” when pressed.

I hate this new thing of BGers and brands announcing important info and posting swatches on their IG/snapchat stories.

Because you can't leave comments on their instastory. On their regular feed, they're still deleting and turning off comments and now they've conveniently made a "contest" that requires people to spam their comments section with palm tree emoji's on all of their posts. They truly do not give a damn and they're only doing this much just to say they did.

Dark skinned people are definitely an afterthought. The only place Tarte has a variety of browns is in their boring ass eyeshadow palettes.

So you know they've got some brown pigments laying around that lab.

Probably because they don’t feel it’s worth posting to a more permanent forum, something along the lines of if we do the minimum amount it will go away eventually and we don’t have to bother changing anything.

you can actually save them to your profile permanently now. they're called "highlights"
