Er, yes. That's usually the reason why they get a tan in the first place.

My assumption was deliberately stupid, to highlight the stupidity of the poster l quoted. I thought that was obvious, maybe to some it wasn't.

Her own make-up is terrible, just terrible...

you mean all the white woman with fake tans, lip injections trying to look brown and black? e.g Luisa

I'm not to sure about what she's doing but she does come across very confident and professional in those videos .

She seems to have quite a successful business going so good luck to her for the future.

Two questions;

Where is Uzma from?
and
Does anyone have any pictures of her without makeup?

I'm quite intrigued by this woman- mysterious and creepy

She's just got the wrong colour foundation on for her natural skin tone - the rest of her makeup isn't that bad.

I can't think about anything else when I look at her face though: it looks so caked on!

Her skin looks like its been scrubbed with brillo pads.

Cardiff, Wales.

I think Uzma is of Pakistani heritage; she looks very South Asian in any case.

Sorry but Uzma looks more ridiculous than any white woman with a tan, white women can tan naturally and it can look normal. Dark people cannot turn white or lighter unless we get vitiligo (sp), use skin bleach, or use some sort of camouflage make up. It never looks right or desirable, imo. I don't believe for one minute that Luisa is trying to look black.

I don't even understand why Uzma wants to look this way, and why on earth have her parents and friends not had a word with her?

Just a thought...in fact...could it be that Uzma actually has vitiligo and has more white patches than brown, and therefore needs to wear thick make up? Admittedly if that is the case then I do feel a bit bad...

I also want to see Uzma natural look.

I would never have guessed that, she sounds very London/Home Counties (apart from Essex).

She can choose to look whatever way she wants,

You don't know if she uses skin bleach and if she does, what concern is it to you?People do all kinds of things, breast implants, lip injections, tanning, butt implants, fillers, botox, nose jobs, list goes on, women alter their appearance and go under the knife for cosmetic reasons

She looks like a regular girl to me.

You and I have very different ideas of what looks 'regular' then.

Of course she can look the way she wants. That's exactly what she's doing, but I can have an opinion on it, especially seeing as she's plugging a make-up business and I could be a potential customer. She chooses to be a walking advert for her business, which is a great idea in theory, but my opinion is she is an ethnic woman desperately to look like a blue eyed blonde and makes herself look very unnatural/strange in the process. She's a poor advert I'm afraid.

You're right, it's not conclusive that she uses skin bleach but it's either that or she uses very thick make-up that is way too light for her complexion.

Like I said though, if it turns out she has vitiligo or some other skin condition then I take it back, as it would be out of her control. However the bleached hair and contacts still do nothing for her.

Because it may have past your notice that this is a forum and a place to pass comment on anyone or anything .

Even THIS one?

"I'm in the business of looking good." - Really?

I know....I was about to post this. You beat me to it.

According to one of her own comments on one of her Bollywood make-up vids, she's of Indian origin, not Pakistani.

I'm of Indian descent and used to dye my hair a caramel blonde/brown colour when I was younger, just for the hell of it - I also went through fifty shades of ginger. If I'd have dyed it the shade of blonde that Uzma has done hers, I'd have looked like a ridiculous photograph negative, despite being fairly pale for someone of my heritage.

It goes without saying that it's up to any individual how they want to look, and none of anybody else's business. Still, I can't help thinking Uzma would look lovely without all that unnecessary skin lightening nonsense. I bet she looks stunning when she's not wearing foundation that is obviously several shades lighter than her natural skintone.

Her look is indeed rather, ahem interesting. I am late to the Apprentice party so have only just caught up with the new series but my eyes are drawn to her when ever she is on screen, just unfortunately not in a good way.

One assumes she must have to use a mirror to apply this makeup? Perplexing.

Even if she is blinded to how odd this look is when she looks at herself, surely a good friend/ family member could have a quiet word in her ear.

She's entitled to look however she wants to look, of course.

But she does look sort of 'alien-ish'.

I know that ethnic people can have blue or green eyes naturally, and when they do it normally looks amazing (Navin Chowdhry, swoon ) but coupled with her over-dyed hair it just looks too much.

But, if she's happy with how she looks then that's up to her.

I agree. My four cousins and my five nieces are all mixed race (as my kids will be, if The Fiance and I are ever daft enough to multiply ) and are a variety of shades, shapes, sizes and colours. They're all half Indian, half ''white''. One is blonde haired, blue eyed and pale skinned; one is green eyed, dark haired, and naturally lightly tanned, another is darker skinned than I am, but has blue eyes. One is darker than I am and has darker hair and eyes, but shares facial features with her lighter skinned sisters.

The majority of the rest are dark haired and dark eyed, but you wouldn't know they were mixed race by their skintone unless you stood them next to both parents at the same time. Every single one of them is gorgeous.

Same is true of my stunning sister, who is darker skinned than I am (she's always had a thing about that, for some bizarre reason) but is much taller and quite a bit slimmer these days!

Apologies for the boring family colour chart. I suppose my point is that people are beautiful whatever shade they are... and while it's obviously up to each individual how they choose to look, I think it is sad that someone would try to hide their natural skintone - which is what it looks like Uzma is trying to do.

Obviously, if she's happy doing that (if she really is doing it) then it's none of mine or anyone else's business. If one puts oneself on national television, however, people are going to comment.

I really like her and her looks - she is mysterious and exotic. Also love her blue contacts lenses. She speaks very well. I find her captivating and charismatic so I am on her team. My favourite female in the show.
