some people don't do makeup good no matter the age, it is what it is.
plus, she probably had a pro doing her makeup back when she was playing. i can tell they put a lot of effort into thinning the ish out of her eyebrows in those pics in the OP, poor girl :mjlol: but that's not the look these days. that's just one example. another example is having a bright undereye and middle of the face. that's probably where a lot of people go wrong lol.

but she seems to do ok on her own now, with an occasional bad look.



but if it's not giving for you :manny:.i don't think she cares about yall approval.

I would hope not:yeshrug: I still think she used to be gorgeous and was one of the finest woman on the planet around the time she wore that black tennis outfit:banderas:

But now she looks like she needs to watch out for this lady

Myself and my own.
I don't remember many Black men disparaging their looks. I do remember a lot of White people calling them ugly and mannish. They never seemed to have problems finding Black celebrities to date either.
This. White people (and other non-black people), especially white men, were the ones literally saying she was a man, claiming she was on steroids (to the point of lying and saying she was hiding in a panic room when a tester came for a surprise test), and compared her to an orc.

From her husband's site, of all places.


Not sure why black men get brought into these discussions when we were the ones defending her. Can't even be mad at famous brehs since light and dark dated her so colorism as a complaint falls by the wayside there.

It was mainly non black men and black women mocking her looks. It was the same thing with Gabby Douglass and Simone Biles. Mainly cacs/ non black men talking down on their skills and saying they look like men and black women even had this situation where they mocked Gabby Douglass for her hair so badly because it was "nappy"; that it made the whole situation go viral.

Yeah.
They attacked Michelle Obama as well for 8 straight years saying she was masculine.

She chose the humiliation door :mjcry:

C'mon now. You're playing dumb. What "makeup" style you know makes you look like mufasa from lion king?

She bleached her skin and looks like a freak.

I'm almost 50.... I remember when Venus and Serena first hit the scene
emoji_u203c.png
️ The black community had a field day with their "African" looks
emoji_u203c.png
️ They talked about their complexions and they talked about their hair texture... these braids and beads
emoji_u203c.png
️ Of course this was lonnnnng before social media but I remember telling my mother "Those girls will grow up and have children by non black men just so they don't get teased like they did"
emoji_u203c.png
That's a straight up lie...
