Vocabulary

black face

GANGURO
Literally 'black face'. I don't know how they
do it, but I occasionally find such young girls
with not really black but rather very dark brown
faces. In most cases, I'm sure they use tanner.
Do you see such young girls in your country?
If so, what do you call them in English.
Thank you.

It is not polite to comment on people's colour in England. There are lots of people of all races and all colours so unless you can tell the difference between a natural colour (do not comment on) and a tan (when you can say, 'nice tan') don't mention it. There certainly is not a noun for someone with a tan.
