Hi hi! The lipstick I’m wearing here is Haus Labs Rose Shine (bought in US) Similar lipsticks available in India are: - Maybelline Saucy: amzn.to/3SWn2tV - Maybelline Ringleader (for fair skin, add clear gloss over it): amzn.to/40VAmAr - Maybelline Enchanter (for medium to dusky skin. Add gloss): amzn.to/4a34f6i

My mom has a darker skin than my dad. And after her marriage she was constantly reminded how she wasnt fitting into the family because my dads family everyone is much fairer. They have this superiority complex and mock everyone with a darker tone.Its sad that people do these things just to feel better about themselves :)

This is so true. As a child, I was so tanned because we used to go to school at such hours when the sun was on our heads. I have not stepped out much in the last three months, so my tan has faded and people are like, 'Did you do skin lightening?' I was like 'wtf'. Even my brother who used to be so tan has become light skinned by exercising, eating good food, and using sunscreen.

Most of us brown kids have been bullied back when we were kids. But ig we can all agree that when we grow up, know how to take care of ourselves, become positive and accept us just the way we are, we tend to glow. Inner happiness radiates!

i have brown skin tone and all my cousins have fair skin tone.so all my relatives used to praised my sisters beauty in front of me .and i used to feel so sad , even my grandmother used to love them more. but now as a 22 year girl, i became so confident about my skin colour .

I love how honest and humble you are. Feels so good to find such an organic content creator.

I just love how happily and honestly you share your experiences, its so relatable and just makes me happy and empowered watching you talk

Close your eyes .. “deepika padakone “ speaking

Since you mentioned that you read every single comment, I would just like to tell you that I really appreciate you talking about all this. Even when you show us all the blemishes on your face and lips, I think your glowing skin and lips are your most attractive features regardless ❤

I also have two-toned pigmented lips and I used to be self-conscious about it but in North America (I'm from Canada), the dark lip liner/gradient lip combo is so popular so I love my lips now. It's unfortunate that our self-perception is so reliant on our environment but I hope it makes you feel better that there are people in other countries who would be ecstatic to have lips like yours!

So so real and so so validating. Definitely related to each aspect. Thank you for the reminder 'dont internalize'

Just as you mentioned, my mom is fair and my dad is dark according to the irritating Beauty standards. And I inherited to be dark. Now I am 20 and even today when our relatives visit our house or we go for an event, they say " Ayyo! You got your dad's colour and being a girl it will be hard to get a rishta". Like seriously!!😂 As a child, these actually used to affect me quite a lot, but as you grow you actually start loving yourself the way you are! Thank you for sharing this ❤

This skin tone based discrimination just breaks my heart. My uncle once said to his daughter to not talk to a child because she is brown skin toned. This just broke my heart and the respect for my uncle.

As a dark South Indian girl living in North India I've always been discriminated against by my peers and teachers. My father had a colleague/friend who has a daughter(fair skinned didi) older than me and always bullied me as a kid. Anyways, we grew up and all bullying and stuff was in the past. I wanted to get admission in the same college as hers so I met her to inquire about the procedure since she was in third year. She provided me with all the info but asked me not to tell anyone that I knew her because that can cause my seniors (her peers) to bully me. Initially I was so happy about how she is so gentle and thoughtful of me. I told that to my bestie and she pointed out that the 'didi' is ashamed to show you, a dark skinned girl as her 'sister' because she calls us(black skinned mallus) names behind our back. I knew for a fact that she used to brag about how people don't believe that she's from Kerala because of her light complexion. It hit me like a train and I felt so bad even though I'm over it now. This is just one incident. There are just countless of them. I'm happy that I know better now and it doesn't bother me as much as it did in the past. I've started to love myself because my family, especially my husband keeps boosting my confidence by showering me with compliments. Beauty has nothing to do with your skin colour. Light skin, dark skin, skinny, curvy, too tall, too short blah blah blah.. Don't listen to toxic people. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL THE WAY YOU ARE. ❤

Absolutely, we want that three months skin care ,work out, diet routine. We will be waiting for that❤

Girl……. You nailed it you spoke your heart out and so honest loved it 🫶🤌🏻 And spreading the awareness to young girls We need such people

Kudos to you for speaking up on this topic!! I can totally connect to this, as I was told that I'm lucky to have my mum's skin tone. There are many people who were made to believe that their appearance = their self value. I wish and hope we collectively can acknowledge and rise over this generational trauma together.😊

I've never seen anyone else being THIS honest. Incredible.

It was even harder for me because both my parents are the "white south person" and im the "normal south person". They ask you whose genes you got, even my grandparents are whiter than me. So it was hard growing up. Thanks for talking about it ❤

you have such a positive energy and thank you for being so genuine about your skin care journey

Your content felt so relatable honestly...I too have pigmented lips and hyperhidrosis and people keep pointing it out and saying things like you mentioned and it made me feel really insecure... Thankyou for talking on this topic. Loving your videos 💕

That 3 month strict routine! We are here for it ❤

This is soo true and relatable, I was fair skinned as a baby, but eventually my skin darkened, I never had a problem with it, neither did my family, none of us really cared about having fair/dark skin 😆✨. My mom always taught me to embrace my skin colour, she even told me what to say to the random bullies who used to tease me for being dark skinned, she told me that black, or dark colours are the really beautiful colours, our eye colour,hair colour etc is also black,lot of things around us in nature is balck coloured, even lord kirshna is dark skinned, so being dark skinned is not a bad thing or something to tease a person

Hey Satshya, I want you to know that your speech is impacting many in a really positive way. The things you said about the skin colors are so true, and I really think that we should normalize all of it. At the end of the day, everyone is beautiful no matter what - there's always something that shines about them, and if not anything it's their smile that makes them glow :) Whether you wear makeup, or lipstick or not, I honestly found you to be pretty either way. I Hope everyone can feel confident in how they look like

You seem like a really cool person to be around 🥺💕 Really appreciate you sharing all these confidently and for inspiring others aswell 💓 There are lot of people who try to put us down or make us feel bad about our skin tone and imperfections but it’s self love & positivity that actually transforms us. ✨ Keep up your good work gurl 😍

Yesss bless us with your 3-month eating clean + work out routine video

I just love how honest, lively and candid you and your conversations are and the way you guide us and share your genuine reviews, in the videos, talking about the hyped products in the market, they're so helpful to me that I see myself reaching out and looking forward to your reviews and recommendations more than the beauty bloggers these days, cause at times with so much information and so many suggestions and the exposure on a gazillion variety of products to buy, it can get very overwhelming and confusing. I love the way you explain and keep it short, simple and especially relatable. Also, corgis are super adorable to look at, so lucky you have one! Lots of love and happiness to you! Keep going and spread shine and smiles everywhere! ✨🧿💖

Thank you so much for talking about darker lips or imbalanced lip pigmentation. I feel this is such an underrated topic, and having gone through it most of my life , I felt really relieved when someone spoke about it. My insecurity about it hasn't fully gone but I am trying not to get so affected with it. Again thank you so much for throwing light on such a small yet effective detail!

Thank you for addressing this with relatable, factual content. And more power to your niece's mother. We don't realize the impact of colorism growing up but each statement of ridicule or "fun insults" roots heavily and obstacles inner confidence.

Honestly being a boy, I don’t know that people can be insecure or worried about uneven lips. I don’t even know these standards exist. Either ways you are amazing and beautiful and beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. (Cliché, but valid)

OMGGG THIS IS SO CRAZYY.... I was JUST watching your video about u reviewing wether the products were worth the hype (simple facewash version lolol) and you POSTED!!! Thank you so much didi you have actually helped wit my skincare journey sooo much 💕💕 TOTALLY NEED THAT 3 MONTH STRICT ROUTINEEE!!! (as a student trying to glow up before the next session starts 🥲🥲) Love you.... keep up the good work didiii ❤

Finally I found someone I can relate to. Everything you said feels so honest and inspiring. I can just listen to you all day. And your smile, that glow comes from your smile✨️

Thank you for being so candid and genuine

Satshya! Satshya! Satshya! You EARNED a new subscriber today. Your shorts used to pop up in my feed, and that's how I got to know you as a creator. However, even after watching a lot of your KZfaq shorts, I never subscribed to your channel. However, today, watching you speak out about and normalize your insecurities gave me so much strength from within. Not kidding. Thank you so much for empowering me and other girls who watch your videos by showing how skin problems are normal, and how the "perfect" skin that we see as a result of good camera quality and lighting also has its own imperfections. We should not feel bad about them, and work on ourselves, as you have mentioned. Also, thank you so much for highlighting that working out also makes skin better. I have been planning to go to the gym for quite some time, and now I got another reason to do so. Thank you so much, Satshya. Love and love. Keep growing and bringing more videos like this one. ❤❤

the lipstick thing is so relatable, even I have pigmented lips but our school did not allow any lip balms or lipsticks, but now that I am in college I apply lipstick and my face just changes, I look so much better with lipsticks

I appreciate your honesty, great that people like u are sharing their journey on how they've flawless skin today

most genuine video i saw so far. very honest,kudos to you

I have two-toned pigmented lips as well and I relate to everything you just shared about your lip pigmentation. I'm also learning to accept and love my lips but sometimes I can't help but feel jealous with those who have even toned pink lips especially when they wear lip oils or glosses 😅 i love this video thank you so much for sharing your story! ❤

You’re so honest, I love that!😊

Thank you, Satshya for having this wonderful conversation about colour consciousness. Love ❤❤❤

From your skin care journey to this pigmentation/skin tanning issue I felt every word of it all…thank for speaking about it like a real empathetic friend would. Lots of love and good vibes to you and yours❤❤

You were so genuine in this video. ❤ please make a video on your food routine you followed to deal with your skin issues

100% absolutely need that sweat management video because I am constantly sweaty too!

I'm not a very confident person generally, I do feel insecure about how I look so I don't take selfies /photos expect festivals and special occasions. So one of the goal of this year was to take more pictures...but my skin been the worst it's ever been, lots of pigmentation and texture throughout my face. Now seeing you talk about issues like this made me feel seen. So thank you and hopefully in the coming year it will be cleared and I shall take plenty of pictures and be comfortable with my skin like you 😊

Can we just address how pretty she is? Like her college pics are not at all embarrassing like mine 😂 love you girl!! That takes courage to show skin texture and talk about body image on a social platform like this. Proud of you!! ❤❤

i just discovered your channel and i really love the positive energy that u spread.also ur smile's the prettiest YOU GO GIRLL!💖

i've been loving your talks satshya, love how you're real and you seem like such a kind soul. also yes pls make a video on sweating for us hyperhydrosis girlies

Your story about tanning is wonderful and heart touching 😍❤ thank you

Thank you for speaking up for Skin tones... Colour/Skin tone shaming is so common in Asian countries and still bring tan or brown or of dark complexion is considered an issue.... Ridiculous.. But you put is so beautifully ❤❤❤ loads of love... Great its coming from content creators

I mean this lady's positive vibe >>>>>>

I am glad you made this video. I have undergone a similar transformation so I can relate. Good that you brought about this topic that skin color doesn't really matter at the end of the day it's just skin! On the inside we all look exactly the same!

More power to you girl! Even I have faced this same problem, I played so much sports and never carried an umbrella, my skin got tanned so much, but now slowly after joining office for so many years, my shade has become lighter.. i mean this happens to every one, its so normal.. love your videos as always 😃😃

This is the first time I am listening to someone having the same lip issue that I have. It is so damn hard to find a lipstick. I use to think what is wrong with my face but now I don't care. Thank you Satshya for sharing this video.

Thank you so much for speaking about this! ❤ I needed to hear more of this and yesss, max relate yo 😂

Thank you for making this video. I usually do not comment. but this video deserves appreciation. Thank you for being so real and honest. Everything you said is so relatable, every single thing. God bless you

Hi satshya! It's my first comment on your channel but I have been seeing your videos since a long time. I just wanted to tell you that you're my fav person on this platform and your content just brings so much joy and positivity into my life. I'd be glad if you could make your 3 months diet video. Plus do mention the eyeliner that you're using. You look amazing in it

Omg I have had to face the similar issue like you. I was born fair and remained in my original tone until i went to school as a kid. At that time, i was about 8-10 yrs of age and had been exposed to sun so much which resulted in extreme sun tan that darkened my skin quite a lot. I didn't see any issue in that until random relatives saw me and made comments like - "when did u get so dark like this? You weren't like this when you were more little" "You are so dark now, why have u become like this?" Some also gave me some illogical advices like to drink milk and not tea so that my skin won't get dark. Anyways, my sun tan remained for some years but eventually as i got older it started to fade away more and more and during covid (lockdown) finally i got back my original skin tone after the childhood sun damage. Now people give me so much compliments and say i got fair/ i look pretty etc but honestly these comments don't make me flatter but rather makes me feel disgusted about how these people see fair skin superior to darker skin. There's absolutely nothing wrong with someone being dark or if n someones gets sun tanned which makes them dark. There's no need to make dark skin looks like it's something bad, cause it's NOT. Let's change this bias

loved the honest conversation .....changing mindset is the best thing u could do to urself

this is your first video im watching,and i wish i had come across your channel way before. 16:07 i feel the same way especially when ppl say this and not like only strangers but also your only imitate family.I feel really bad,sad and unlucky even tho there is nothing bad in having a dark skin but it’s just that ppl around me don’t think the same way or are the same way. new subscriber here and thank you so much for talking about this i love your confidence and i wish your channel grows more❤️

I just saw this video randomly.. and i literally feel like this is so true as a teenager ik how it feels so.. this helps me alot to get motivated this is really appreciative.. so I'm not alone .. thanks for the wise words and experience you shared ❤️

So happy for your positive journey!💜 As someone who also struggles with excessive sweating, would really appreciate a video on how you managed to deal with it.

I loved this video Satshya! You've addressed so many issues that i have personally also had to deal with. I'm Mallu too with a fair mum, dark dad...and yes i've had to deal with comments on how my dad looked madrasi and that was back when we lived in the North in the late '80s. Sad to see that such comments are still made. More strength to you!

I am a dark skin tone girl and even I am conscious about it but the thing's u said about skin tone did boost my confidence and now I feel like I am brown beauty and however is my skin tone at all doesn't matter so thank u ☺️

lots of love❤ so glad you've spoken about this..being a dark skinned girl i was always bullied in scl and yeah even now my relatives make commets on my color..anyway i was never ashamed of my color or how i look and i'm glad you've spoken abt it...also please share your strict diet 😊

One more comment for you to read for : ) I have been frustrated with my dark circles issue for longest time. Like i am light wheatish (not fair exactly) and my dark circles are like DARK dark.Given that discolored lips have also been pain in my ass for good amount of time and even I feel great whenever I wear lipsticks. This video really helps me to focus on the all over health of my skin and not just some random teeny part of it. Also I am quite intrigued to know what your diet and workout plan was/is. Would love a video on it. ✨easy!✨

Discovered your channel today, on a Sunday morning, and I have already watched three videos ❤ you’re amazing 🎉❤

A much needed video- From a person with acne prone skin❤

would love to see a video on your 3 month skin transformation routine :)

I've had a similar experience with my skin tone - born with fair skin.. tanned a lot because I used to play a lot in the scorching sunlight, and from then on I was shamed a lot (aunts saying the same "aiyyo nee vallathe karuthallo"). Needless to say, my self-esteem was non-existent and it took me YEARS to accept my darker skin tone.. once I started working and the pandemic happening soon after, my skin tone changed and suddenly I was being given compliments, which at this point seemed fake to me, and did nothing to boost my confidence 😂 I just cannot stand the whole 'fair skin = beauty' bs anymore.

i agree so much to the fact that sometimes...you dont speak back...its true we dont HAVE to reply, stay unbothered dont internalize! LOVE YOU!

Hi Satshya.. i am one of your newest subscribers from 2023, with an honest confession to make.. That.. i have seen your comic contents months back and enjoyed them but wasn't a subscriber yet.. but these two b2b videos from you, where you shared these personal yet very relatable experiences to almost every girl at some point of their lives, made me like you a lot more.. and it just forced me to subscribe to your channel. Really appreciate your effort in having this personal touch with your audience/subscribers/followers. Wish you a great year ahead ✨

Your content honestly feels so relatable. I would love to se more of it ♡ ♡

both of my parents are really fair. And i am brown. All i heard from people was "oh maybe she is adopted or something haha lol" and none of them really taught of what on earth they are saying. I was in north India that time and no one would be friends with me cuz i was brown and they were fair. They literally said that to me on my face. It has taken years for me to actually love my skin color but every time i hear a comment, it still breaks my heart. Sending love to you and all other girls who are forced to feel bad about themselves because they do not fit the unrealistic beauty standards. Everyone is beautiful and the imperfections we all have is what makes us unique.

you are so pretty honestly ❤

Just came across your video and i loved u spoke abt two toned pigmented lips. So honest. Hatss off girl! ❤

I am so glad that you spoke up about this. I have a similar story. I was born fair but used to go out and play under the sun a lot as a kid and got tanned very much as a result. I never had an issue with tanning nor my parents did but my own grandmother and some other relatives kept on pointing I looked so dark and looked like ( don't want to use the N term as its offensive but ig you guys get it). Anyway looked like they had a problem with everything. I also had curly hair and I often used to be called maggie hair, coils, relatives always told why did I look like this etc. One time they even had the audacity to say "oh none of your parents are so dark, why are you like this" I was just in class 4 or 5 back then. And about skin lightening some of my friends even used to bully me for it. I just want to say people just don't know how much damage they are doing. I was just a 10 y/o kid. Today I'm 22 and obviously due to not going out much and due to lockdown my tan went away a lot and my skin is much fairer now but even when now I go to my grandmother's place she always uses the term "you've become very beautiful NOW" like bro excuse me? I have heard about skin and hair so much since childhood that I straightened up my hair so many times which eventually was damaging my natural hair and even till date I just fear tanning because of all the negative comments I heard as a child. People think children will forget or they won't remember but children do remember all the hurtful stuffs and bullying and that gives them trauma as they grow up. Thank you for addressing this issue :) I am trying to heal from it and accept myself and I think myself to be beautiful

Would you make a seperate video on your 3 months strict journey regarding your diet & workout for healthy skin as you said about in this video ??.....really appreciate you the way u talked on such sensitive things about our shade, skin colour, body shape etc ☺️

Saw your video for the first time!! Subscribed because I really felt like you are a good person!!

Di , it feels really good to hear this from!!❤

This video has a lot of comments now so not sure if you will read this one, but this is the first video of yours which I have watched and I just wanted to say I loved the way you addressed each point. The genuineness was so refreshing! Felt like I was having a conversation with a friend, and I'm sure lots of people could relate to the personal stories you added (including me). If there are any younger people reading this, please know that as you get older a lot of your insecurities fade away, I PROMISE! In fact, you will start to love the unique things about yourself and a lot of issues like acne will resolve by itself or with some good medication. A big part of maturing is is learning to be appreciative of the big things like health, the ability to run, laugh, and feel joy. Of course, we all feel insecure at times but its important in those moments to feel gratitude for all the wonderful things in your life!

U r so genuine, so I definitely want a video on hyperpigmentation on intimate areas like armpits, knees, elbows, inner thighs. Will u please make a video on this topic??

I've been always pointed out coz of my skin tone when ever I get tanned, my pimples, my scars, my tiny bumps on forehead by my mum and everyone I absolutely i feel very insecure abt these stuff and all but i jus don't know your video gave me comfort thankyou so much 💗

you are so strong and thoughtful ❤

I got a lip tattoo for my pigmentation (had super dark grey lips), It's the best investment I have ever done in myself. Finally I can try all different lip colours and go for that glossy look. It;s worth considering

I think most of us in India have gone through this 'dark skin, fair skin' nonsense. As young kids, it really affects you, especially when there is no contradictory/difffernet narrative. When you're a kid and that is the only thing you hear, it becomes impossible to separate it from yourself and not internalize it. You're the 2nd KZfaqr (even after all these years) to candidly and extensively talk about this. I am so grateful for people like you. For me, @SherryShroff was the first person ever to talk about the reality behind skin tones (and a lot more like skin imperfections, scars, etc). Through her videos I realized that my skin tone is what I have and will never be able to change (oh the heartbreak when I first heard this and then subsequently confirmed on the Internet). But that is also when my acceptance began. And, slowly but steadily I started loving my skin colour. I owe so much to her, more for being the source of my really long self-love journey. I learnt how to embrace my natural self and love me for exactly who I am. And I am so glad to see another influencer talk about this! I am sure, Satshya, that you'll be this person for so many other people! The after-effects of trauma already experienced is hard to reverse but if you can stop someone before they fall into this pit, it can bring such monumental changes! My 5-6 year old self (who would desperately rub tubes of Fair & Lovely with the aching hope that it would make me at least a tad bit fairer) (yes, I agree that is horrible!!!) would be so proud to see me be absolutely in love my skin colour! So much love for you guys. Y'all are the real "influencers" for me!

omg the video on being sweaty, post rn! me too!!!!! ME TOO! also pigmented lips gang. I've come to terms w it. don't notice it in the mirror as much anymore. nor do I notice it in others. keep making more videos, I love your personality!!!

Oh girl you are so super duper awesome. The way you are talking about your perfectly imperfections. That makes you so wise and brave. Lots of love to you ❤️ your imperfections makes you perfect. Inner beauty reflects in you 🫰😍

Really loved your mother standing up for your dad, not many men these days get support in the world. I bet it mattered a lot to your dad and he must've been happy.

Would love to see the video on " what did you eat during those 3 months for glow

I too have the same sweat and forehead bump issues. Do make a video on it.And this is my first time watchin' your videos and now I know you'll be my favourite one forever.I was able to relate to you so much.Much love to you❤

I LOVED YOUR HONESTTTTT BEHAVIOUR

Oh we sure need that 3 month routine love❤

Hey Satshya, I would love to see the video on how you changed your skin more glowier because i have the same problem . i really wanna try out the routine that changed your skin ( like diet and workout ) . i hope it works for me too

Appreciate you sis!!! Appreciate whatever you said as a “girl who’s like her dad” in the family. Really important conversation to have I must say. Please share how you deal with your sweatiness! Sure need it!! Love to you an everyone embracing their brown skin, or their identity in general!! :)

Ahhhh it was so blissful listening to you❤🥺🥺

I also have the sweat problem My palms and nose is always sweaty even in winter I can totally relate with you

I could literally relate to all the things that you talked about. Kudos to you and everyone who have shared these similar moments or have been part of a similar situation/ conversation. It takes a lot to speak up. I used to complain to my mom that why didn't you make me fairer when I was a baby... After years I understood this and accepted my genetics. My relatives used to always point out my complexion and they used to blame my parents saying she's her Dad's daughter not mom's... And I was like what the hell... My mom used to listen to all these silently and cry...Just before some years the same relative said the same thing again when we visited their house and I just lost it and it took a lot of courage to stand up and be vocal about it. And that was it... No one has ever talked to my mom or dad or even me again regarding this complexion thing. And am glad that i did it. And I used to cry a lot when someone said "Yaar tu Kaali hai" and all that... Now it doesn't even matter... I reply to them "Yaar kaali hun toh kya hua dilwali hun" 💖😅 My parents & my sister 's opinion matter to me. That's it... Whoever will love you... Will love the way you are, no matter what. Lot's of love to you for sharing this topic @SatshyaTharien And I would love to see a video on how you dealt with hyperhydrosis ❤

Girl! So much of positivity in your video. Loved it, I think it’s something as Asians we are ridiculed by people around us based on our skin tone. The darker the skin the more ridiculing, also as girls or women I still remember one lady asking my father during a proposal ( arranged marriage ) “is your daughter darker skin toned or fair “ Also would love to watch a video of your food diet that allowed you to get healthier.

That lipstick story..oh my god is so relatable to I don't like dark lips but I love bold red colour a lot .

i had naturally pink lips, even red, people used to say that they look like blood is going to ooze out from them but after undergoing some health issues, anxiety and overall malnutrition, my lips have become super pigmented and no matter what, the pigmentation doesn't go away
