When MAC Cosmetics  posted their newest lip shade, “Royal Romance”,  on Instagram they were not prepared for what happened next.

The model of the shade was Aamito Lagum, and she was viciously attacked by internet trolls, saying that her lips resembled monkeys, and that black women’s lips “could never be as beautiful as white women.”

Aamito Lagum came back with a post of her own that shut down the trolls.  “My lips giving you sleepless nights.”

My lips giving you sleepless nights. On @maccosmetics IG. Thankyou @maccosmetics for this killer color and to that makeup artist .ama get me 3 of these.
