Social Media Drags Alexis Skyy for Wearing ‘Too Much’ Makeup: ‘U Look Fake Af’

Alexis Skyy‘s appearance is apparently up for debate.

The “Love and Hip Hop: New York” diva shared an image of herself all dolled up this weekend, but a few fans clearly weren’t feeling her look. She took to her Instagram feed on Saturday morning and showed off her evening mien for her special appearance at In Love Memphis bar and lounge.

She donned a latex tube top, tan cheetah print pants, black heels with a hair wrap to match. Her makeup included a dramatic lash, over-drawn lip-liner and a seemingly full face of foundation and concealer.

“Kept it real with all you niggas, I’m just too honest,” Skyy wrote in her caption.

Her post however was immediately bombarded with fans who felt something was off with her appearance.

“This makeup artist or photoshop u did made u look hella fake.. Michael Jackson vibes.. u pretty wh ur natural tbh 🤦‍♀️.”

“That makeup does absolutely nothing for you your way prettier than that horrible makeup got u lookin damn!”

“U got on too much makeup it’s making u look fake af 😩!”

“She so pretty, but that make up is awfull.”

Others dived to Skyy’s defense.

“So many haters under this post 😩🤣! Folks telling her how she should look as if she should take their advice. WHOMP WOMP 😂! My sister SLAYED her makeup 😍.”

“Meanwhile my good sis is unbothered by everything and ya’ll negative a– comments 🙌🏽😍🔥.”

The 24-year-old mother of one fell under fire in late April after folks accused her of enhancing the lower half of her body, including her hips and buttocks. She was spotted vacationing at the Jamaican Carnival in April, wearing a skimpy samba costume.

When more than a few fans called her out on her seemingly curvier physique and apparently plastic surgery, Sky replied, “No I just gained weight … trying to loose it.”

The only thing social media knows for sure the reality star surgically had done, are her breasts. After giving birth to her beautiful 1-year-old daughter Alaiya Grace January 2018, she admitted that she has gotten her breasts done. In a now-deleted post from last year, the reality star described the pain she experienced while trying to pump milk with breast implants, saying, “pumping hurts.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
