Mushk Kaleem speaks up against colorism

The model took to social media and shared that she will no longer entertain clients who ask her to ‘whiten up’ for shoots. “No, I’m not a pearlescent white-skinned girl, I’m dusky and bronze. To all the clients who book me for shoots and then expect me to douse myself in lighter makeup to make me look ‘acceptable for lawn’, I’d rather say you not book me at all,” she wrote on her official Instagram handle.
“My skin colour defines me, it’s who I am, so if you feel like you need to whiten me up so that I match the ‘requirements of the brief, or the shoot’ or because ‘Lahoris have issues with dark models for summer lawn’ or whatever, please don’t consider me for your shoots,” she wrote.‘the brand can’t afford to get hate comments on luxury collections’, because ‘we need a pretty feel for the shoot’. ***k that. Book me because I look good in my own skin, if you want to Photoshop and edit my face till you wash out the dark of my skin, then find yourself a fairer model.
