ARMYs Praise ColourPop Cosmetics’ Collaboration With BTS And LINE FRIENDS’ BT21 For Diversity
Recently, American cosmetics brand ColourPop Cosmetics announced its collaboration with BTS and LINE FRIENDS‘ BT21, and it’s already receiving praise even before its official release.
Since the collection releases this week, ColourPop Cosmetics has been promoting it a lot on social media. Yet, ARMYs couldn’t help but take notice of their choice of models to show off the new BT21 makeup…
BIPOC models have been the choice so far by ColourPop in promoting the BT21 collection, especially Black.

Previously, beauty brands such as VT Cosmetics and The Créme Shop released BT21 makeup collections.
The Créme Shop mainly sold eyeshadow and lipgloss along with skincare. On the other hand, VT Cosmetics sold a wide variety, including foundations.
Yet, the variety in foundations was especially lacking. Through the years, ARMYs of all complexions complained about the lack of shades offered. Even light-skinned individuals claimed that the makeup was so light that it was quite literally “white” on them.
me looking at the bt21 makeup line thing: i’m white as hell and those shades are still too light djdndj
