    If you swapped white skin as "ugly" to black skin is "ugly" then it would be racist therefore calling white "ugly" is racist.

      "She powdered her face white, hiding the Light that marked her cheek, and painted black patches over her eyes."

      She was already slightly frustrated at this when a voice behind her said, "Nice makeup."

      Sorrel turned, grinding her teeth to hold back a retort. "May I help you?"

      A young woman stood there, her jet-black hair in a pixie cut that made her face look angular and hard. Erica West, Max's ex-girlfriend. Sorrel wanted to punch her.

      Erica smirked. "What're the eye patches for? Somebody beat you up?"

      "It's a style," Sorrel said stiffly.

      "An ugly style," Erica said. "I've seen you in here before, but never got a good look. My friends say you're Awoken, but I don't see it."

      It's like KISS makeup, dude. Not making her skin look like a white person. This isn't some Destiny version of White Chicks.

        That's a nice trick you did there.

        Touched by her friend's consideration, Sorrel climbed out of bed and went to shower. She powdered her face white, hiding the Light that marked her cheek, and painted black patches over her eyes. They glowed startlingly green from within the black.

        Sorrel Looked at her reflection for Voice's benefit.

        Voice said, "Why must you be ugly? You look so much nicer without the paint."

        "Maybe it's because I wish I wasn't Awoken," Sorrel thought. "Maybe I'm trying to be something else instead. Like an Exo."

        Voice didn't say anything, but her silence was disapproving.

        White face with dark patches over the eyes could be anything leaving it to the readers interpretation and I interpreted "powdered" as exactly that a light dusting not white paint slathered over her face and dark patches around the eyes could just be heavy eye shadow which isn't abnormal.

        You could be right as in the first chapter she is described as having rock concert fitting paint on her face but as it stands it is open to interpretation.

          The author posted character art on her blog a while back.

          It's KISS makeup, and you're an idiot and a jerk
