Why did a lot of black electras paint their skin a lighter color? I dont mean the gothic white paint look the components have, I mean a lighter but still natural skin tone. Mykal, for example. Was he supposed to? Were foundation companies at the time simply not diverse enough?

I don't know for sure, but I suspect it's stage lighting that's the problem. If the harsh lighting is set to focus on the bright silver elements of the makeup and costume, the actual skin tone would be completely lost - a paler makeup makes it look like it's all part of a design. It does seem to be something Mykal Rand does particularly - Leon Maurice Jones seemed to keep his more natural skintone, with the half-done makeup shot here.

I think Mykal just had a whole lot of fun playing about with makeup designs.... those stripes are insanely clean! That's loose glitter applied over the base colour!

Also, closeup of Paul Hazel's older makeup style, definitely more limited by technology in the 1990s.

This blush starts as cream and dries into a smooth powder for a natural glow. It is super easy to apply, lightweight, and buildable. Made in Italy with grape leaf extract and olive oil.

Costume, hair, makeup, etc. designers that cannot maintain a standard of quality for all cast members regardless of size, hair texture, skin color are not good designers!!!!!!! Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!
