it's lace all coming up is so hot hello beautiful people welcome back to my channel thank you so much for clicking to watch this video for today's makeup in mindset I wanted to talk about my eye color if you have never seen me before you're new to my channel hello my name is Sydney black and I'm a black girl with naturally blue eyes I wanted to talk about my eye color in this video today because recently I've been getting a lot of really aggressive and rude comments that are kind of disguised as positivity and encouragement and it's really just been getting under my skin I have dealt with comments about my eyes my entire life both good and bad and it's never really bothered me however the comments that I've been getting recently are along the lines of why are you wearing those blue contacts you should just be happy with the brown eyes God gave you you would look so much better if you just wore the brown eyes you were blessed with or people telling me to go and find myself why are you wearing those contacts you go find yourself sorry I'm saying it like that I just that's how I imagine like people are typing it out like are you getting these comments hasn't made me want to investigate why so I thought it would be fun to put on some makeup and share with you guys what I found out if you haven't already and you would like to subscribe to my channel and join the peaceful ass [ __ ] gang we post every Monday I know today is probably not Monday but don't judge me I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I tried to get these videos up every Monday sometimes it doesn't work out try again next Monday yes if you would like to hang out with me put on some makeup and talk about my eye color then just keep on watching okay so let's get it started I'm going to be mixing these two aqua XL paints from Make Up For Ever to create an orange I had an orange but I think it just dried out it got really like gross looking so I'm just gonna make it Orange we're gonna be creative oh so I've mixed that color together here okay so today I wanted to talk about my eye color I honestly have never really done any research or cared much to know why my eyes are blue I just I don't I just never really cared I figured it was something to do with my genetics because my mom has one blue eye one brown eye so I just figured I just got him from her and that was good enough that was a good enough explanation for me my entire life but lately I've been getting a lot of really like aggressive comment people telling me like why don't you just be proud what you should be happy with the brown eyes God gave you and I don't know if this is just like the ego and me that gets really upset about this but it's like how dare you tell someone who they should be what they should look like like even if I was wearing contacts that's rude why why do you feel compelled enough to say that to someone and it makes it even worse because I'm not wearing contacts I also feel like it's like a kind of an empowering thing like they're trying to empower people to appreciate their features and love themselves and I completely get that but telling me to be proud of the brown eyes God gave me just a thorn I was investigating why these comments were upsetting me so much then it made me think like why do I have blue eyes like where did this come from like what is this about Neutrogena makeup wipes for the win you guys like everything for my eyeshadow I'm going to be taking this palette from Julius place the Zulu by Truvia so I was born with great eyes when I was born my eyes were gray and I've heard that this is kind of common for babies like you usually don't get the pigmentation in your eye until a little bit later I could have made that up don't quote me but my mom says that my eyes were gray like they were really really light blue and then later they kind of got the pigmentation that they have now I'm not sure if the spots in my eyes were always there like I have like these like spots I look so stupid right now he's like spots in my eye if you can see I'm not sure if those were there or they came later I don't really know but they started out great and then they were blue my mom has one blue eye and one brown eye so this eye on me has a lot of brown in it I think this I was supposed to be brown like my mom's and then she has like a blue eye and and her brown eyes she has like blue spots at the bottom you try walking around the world with a brown and blue eye with no eyebrows and just no no you have two of the same type eyes this one's mainly brown no no no no no I got one blue and one brown you should see babies where they look at me a freaking scarab I also have two younger sisters and they both have brown eyes and then my dad has brown eyes and no one else in my family has blue eyes it's really just me and my mom as far as I know it's just me and mom dukes me and mom do meet me and mom so recently I decided to look it up by like Google search there I type in black people with blue eyes I think I found a couple of interesting web searches about it the first one that I found talked about how most people will every person with blue eyes essentially is related blue eyes originated like 10,000 years ago like before that everyone had brown eyes and then something happened yada yada yada people got blue eyes but it all originated from one source so technically speaking people who have blue eyes are all cousins the type of blue eye that they're referencing is like the kind of really bright crystal blue like almost like a piercing blue people like Jesse Williams or Vanessa Williams or the black people that that came up in that search and I can see I kind of can see how Jesse Williams and Vanessa Williams might be related like they kind of look like as a I don't know they also look mixed to me like they look like their parents are not full black I would always get asked when people would ask about my eyes like what do you mix with like where your where your parents from what are you where are you from and I would always just see Denver they come from Denver my dad's from Michigan so today I have my parents and they're not happy with me they look miserable both of my parents are black and I never understood why people would ask me if I was mixed cuz I don't think I look mixed like do I look mixed I don't think I do so that was the first article I found on Google and I was like oh I don't want to really think this is me like my eyes don't look like that one and I'm not I'm darker complexion than these people so I don't think this is why my eyes are blue so the next article I found talked about wonder burg syndrome which I have had a couple people comment that below on my on my videos and tell me that they think I have one of our syndrome and I've never really looked into it again because I don't care but since I was doing research I decided to click and see what it was about hi jumping in really quickly I'm editing this video right now and realizing that I was pronouncing the syndrome wrong the entire time it's pronounced Waardenburg I believe Waardenburg but I keep saying wonder burg I don't know what I was reading but I'm going to continue saying wonder burg for the remainder of the video which is really annoying but just ignore it it's pronounced Waardenburg I think so basically one of our syndrome is a mutation in the genes that changes the pigment in your eye I can change the pigments in your hair and your skin there are four different types I think the first type is people who report having spots on their eyes or on their face or in their hair and then they usually have very like wide-set eyes so they're either kind of like spaced far apart the second type of Waterberg syndrome differs from the first because people don't have this wide space in their eyes they still have this spots like their eyes can still be a lighter color or their hair or their body but what's interesting about number two and why I think I have one of our syndrome number two is because people with number 200 work syndrome suffer from a hearing loss and I'm deaf in my left ear like I can't hear absolutely anything in my left ear nothing nothing it says that the person with wonder Brook syndrome who suffer the hearing loss might have had it since birth or it might have happened like as they were a child and I don't know if I was born deaf but I remember finding out very very young like I was probably like seven that's not that young actually that's kind of old but I remember being in probably first grade when and schools in America they make all the kids take like hearing tests and seeing tests they like put you in this little like headphone situation and they like place sound so you have to listen to sound on your right ear and every time you hear sound you have to like raise your hand so they were doing my right ear and I was like yeah yeah I hear it I hear it and then when they got to my left ear I was just kind of sitting there and I was like are you gonna turn it on or what's happening and then they took the headphones off of me and they were like are you not hearing anything in your left ear and I'm like no I thought you didn't turn it on yeah like I'm not hearing anything I'm like oh I think your dad's me then they sent me home with these pamphlets about hearing aids and stuff and I think I just threw them away like I didn't want to tell my parents that I had a hearing problem because I didn't want to wear hearing aids in the hearing aids were so big and just large and obnoxious and I already was one of the only black kids in my school and I had blue eyes I just didn't want any more attention to myself so I remember going home and not telling my parents that I couldn't hear it was fine like up to that point I honestly didn't know the difference I still don't know the difference I think if I did get a hearing aid now I feel like the world would just be too loud because I've always only heard with one ear so people with type tou1 de Burgh syndrome reported hearing loss as well as having spots and stuff in their eyes honestly when I was reading this I was kind of just like can't believe I never knew this like no one ever talked to me about it and maybe it's just that like the doctors that I went to didn't really know it says it's a really rare disease so only a one and forty thousand people are affected and around two to five percent of all those cases have deafness so within water breaks a drum I'm also like of the small percentage of deaf people though rare wonder Berg syndrome may be common in family because it is genetic so my mom for sure has it because she has heterochromia which they say is also a part of the syndrome but my mom doesn't I think my mom can hear I'm pretty sure she hears fine how do you hear mom do you hear all right oh my god what do you guys think about this I look is this nice but not nice feel like it looks just really crunchy on the actual eye so I'm gonna try and like just make it not look so crunchy no no I'm gonna go in with this eye base from Black Radiance and just kind of put that on top just just try and like smooth out this eye looks I feel like it just looks so crispy and I don't like that I don't crispy that I love her I don't know why I try to always do like fun looks when I'm doing nice these talking videos and never works out I can never top and do my makeup at the same time ever okay now I'm gonna go back over it with the orange just see what happens there like it doesn't make it like a pretty like coppery orange color now so this'll work we accept okay I went ahead and threw on my lashes off-camera I'm wearing these lashes they're called lash trance from full face makeup just gonna prime my face with the abhorrent pink perfect cream primer so yeah I'm around 99% sure the reason I have blue eyes is because of Warner Berg syndrome those are really the only two things that I found either it's a genetic from the one person ten thousand years ago which doesn't look like the kind of eye color I have or wonder brake syndrome and the fact that I have a hearing loss kind of makes sense and it all it all comes together now it is very interesting to find out but I also just like I just really would like people to just leave other people alone like if I were wearing contacts it's obviously because I like wearing contacts same with wigs like people always like why are you wearing those Eurocentric hair heads mmm like mind your business just leave people alone how about that now you're out here being a crusader for whatever and you're wrong like you're trying to empower me to love my brown eyes and my eyes aren't brown so now what I'm gonna be trying out this new foundation from Urban Decay called naked weightless I don't think it's out yet but we gonna sleep we gonna see how it work anyway I've realized that I have a slight insecurity when it comes to my color to just because since I was born I've always had a lot of attention around it even more so than my mom my mom gets even ruder comments like people straight up you come up to her and be like you dropped a contact did you know what are your contacts is missing ooh this is so dark okay okay it's okay okay we can make it work it feels really nice because it's like lightweight but it is just a bit darker than me but I realize it's a slight and security for me because it's always just been a lot of attention and it's always mean as I've gotten older especially like in middle school it made me feel like I had to prove something to people all the time like people will just straight up be like oh you're why are you wearing those contacts or why are you lying about your eye colour like why would you lie about that and almost just like I would feel guilty in a sense like it would make me feel a little bit of guilt like why am i lying but of course I wasn't lying and you know kids are just [ __ ] ruthless and kids are so mean why are kids so mean they were just making me feel really bad and really guilty and then when I got on YouTube I would get a lot of comments of people saying like oh if you didn't have those blue eyes you wouldn't be as popular like you're only pretty because you have those blue eyes or whatever and that would make me feel bad too because it's like well is that true like would I only be pretty if I had blue eyes like another question I would get a lot that would make me super uncomfortable as people and ask if my sisters are jealous of me because I have blue eyes and they don't which is it would always make me so so so uncomfortable like no my sisters are jealous of me and and why would you ask me not like so I feel like I have subconsciously like shunned away from the fact that I had blue eyes because I feel ashamed a little bit which is ridiculous to even say it's ridiculous to feel ashamed of something that I was born with just because of the opinions of other people like maybe maybe I wouldn't be as popular if I didn't have blue eyes or maybe I wouldn't be as pretty if I didn't have blue eyes but I do have blue eyes so what are we talking about maybe if I didn't have blue eyes and then one day I got blue eyes that could be an argument we had but even still maybe if you're just mind your business and live your best life you'd be much happier this foundation actually blends really well I feel like the color is still a little bit too late but maybe after I add concealer and stuff it'll like blend it down but it looks like it feels really nice also I like this this is this this is okay this is no bad I'm going to take NARS radiant creamy concealer and the color of Monday I've seen now people are doing you can have an ocular eye surgery where you can basically remove the pigment from your brown eyes so apparently underneath everyone's eyes there's your eyes are blue or like a grayish blue color I have heard that like brown eyes are natural sunglasses so it's basically melanin to protect your eyes from the Sun I don't usually wear sunglasses or sometimes I just forget so I'm sure my eyesight it's gonna get worse as I get older but brown eyes are basically natural sunglasses so you can remove that layer of brown on your eyes and then you'll have blue eyes underneath tiny tee eyes wife did that and her daughter also did it and now I've heard that she's having like AI problems from it I don't know if that's true or not that sounds so terrifying like oh my god I could never even like LASIK people get LASIK to be able to see better that's a procedure that's more common now so I feel like it's been tested out it seems a bit more safer I don't know but this ocular eye surgery to make your eyes blue isn't even FDA approved you can't get it done in the u.s. you have to go to a different country to do it and why like it just seems silly to me to undergo that kind of surgery just for vain vanity reasons like no judgments no - you can do whatever you want to do but losing your eyesight just to have blue eyes sue me seems a little unreasonable just like slightly unreasonable not too unreasonable but again that's a choice that people make and maybe because I have blue eyes I've always had blue eyes it's never I don't I don't know it just doesn't matter to me people closest to me don't ever really bring it up either early it doesn't matter it's just a feature about me technically it's a genetic abnormality it's a disability my eyes are blue and I'm deaf I really do wish we would just let people you know do what they want be who they want you want to wear contacts wear contacts like if you want to get the ocular eye surgery sounds really day and terrifying but it's your prerogative it's your body like you do it the way you see fit we're all just spiritual beings having a human experience and if what your body you want to do is test stuff out change your genes change your face change right do what you want like I don't really see the problem in as long as you're not hurting anyone else feeling like you have to though probably isn't really that healthy like you don't have to change your eye color having blue eyes does not make me any more special or different sure it's rare but I'm also deaf because of it do contour and powder my face I'm gonna take this Studio Fix palette from Mac I get a lot of comments from people asking like or saying whether or not my kids are gonna have blue eyes and we live in a very vain world like super vain honestly like I don't care if my kids have blue eyes or not as long as they're healthy like why would that matter to me it really genuinely doesn't matter like I don't I don't care I hope my kid is intelligent and kind that's what I want care if she he or she got blue eyes might be better if they don't have blue eyes honestly leave them alone when I bronze my face using the hooter hooter this is not who dad there's no hooter girl bronze my face using the toasted hoola bronzer from benefit should have done a little bit of color correcting down here cuz I feel like you can still see a little bit of my dark spots but I don't really mind I kind of like when my skin looks like skin and like SuperDuper perfect to highlight I'm going to take the artist Couture highlight powder and lickable tell look you you look I love this highlight so much it's just like blends so nicely like it starts out really intense and then it just kind of like seeps into your skin and just becomes one with your face and then for blush I'm going to take this Urban Decay blush and bang it's like a pretty orange color I feel like I don't go next with my eyes I don't know we'll see yeah it's cute it's hella cute it's cute we're cute I feel like I have stopped talking because I've just gotten so focused on my makeup like the cuter my makeup becomes the more I'm not like what what are we talking about let's talk about how bomb this makeup looks to finish this look I really want to do something like pink I'm gonna take this minted lip pencil and night.i doesn't say the name but I think that's the name and then the lip gloss from hourglass and the color fever minted is a really cool brand because they make like lip pencils and lip glosses lipsticks for darker skin shades so they make a lot of like really nice Brown looking lip pencils and as a brown girl I stand oh this is so cute I don't know if it goes well with the lip pencil but I love the color of this it looks like candy okay I'm gonna do something to my wig and then I'll be right back so that is it for this video honestly just talking about my eyes and what I haven't covered I would love to hear below what you guys think if you've met any other people with blue eyes I've seen the two twin little girls who have blue eyes they look like me and my mom like one of them has heterochromia one blue and one brown the other one has blue eyes so cute I love my eye color and I wouldn't change it for the world but I know that it's not the most defining factor about me I am going to work on being more secure with that part of myself because I shouldn't feel ashamed or embarrassed or guilty for having blue eyes that's really weird I will leave more links down below if you guys are interested in reading more about it or seeing other examples of it and I just thought it would be cool to just sit and kind of talk about it cuz I've been getting a lot of really rude comments about my eye color like stop telling people what they should look like or what they should wear or let's just stop like just live your best life love yourself love those around you we're good you know all right guys I hope that you enjoyed this video please don't forget to comment down below anything you just say hello or if you have any other suggestions for topics we can talk about I love you guys so so much and I'll see you my next video [Music]
