HBO Addresses Concerns That Makeup Artist Darkened an Extra s Skin on Lovecraft Country E! 3/9/2021
HBO has admitted that a makeup artist on the set of
Lovecraft Country should not have darkened an extra s skin for a scene.
One background actress,
Kelli Amirah, claimed on social media in recent weeks that the makeup team was putting me in blackface by making her face and her hands look darker to match another actress skin tone.
She shared two TikTok videos in February alleging she was on set getting her hair and makeup done when the artists started talking about how her skin was lighter than that of another star.
Kelli Amirah went viral on TikTok last month after revealing her skin was darkened by the makeup team on HBO s Lovecraft Country, and now the network is responding.
