Halloween Costume Company in UK Offers 'Yellowface In a Tube' (PHOTOS)

A United Kingdom costume company offers yellow face makeup whose packaging features a picture of a man wearing yellowface, a conical paddy hat and buck teeth.

One blogger has dubbed Widmann srl.'s Yellow Make-Up Cream, "yellowface in a tube."

"I suppose there are plenty of ways to apply yellow makeup," writer of the Angry Asian Man blog posted on Thursday. "But the illustration on the packaging makes it pretty clear what 'look' you should be going for."

The model on the package sports yellow paint on his skin, along with a Fu Manchu mustache, Samurai sword and robes.

The company, which is owned by Sancto International Ltd., also sells items from "Around the World," boasting more than 800 items of variant races and ethnicities, including a Rasta wig and an "African woman" costume. The models for these get-ups are in blackface.

A Moroccan costume comes with a fez hat and long robes. The man wearing the product on the packaging holds strands of fake gold chains in front of him, as though he were trying to sell them to passerby.

Media reports showed that blackface - along with yellowface, brownface, redface, and more - is still an issue during this year's Halloween.

Dancing with the Stars performer Julianne Hough darkened her skin for an "Orange is the New Black" Crazy Eyes costume. After the public responded with backlash, Hough took to Twitter to apologize.

"I am a huge fan of the show Orange is the New black, actress Uzo Aduba, and the character she has created," Hough posted online. "It certainly was never my intention to be disrespectful or demeaning to anyone in any way. I realize my costume hurt and offended people and I truly apologize."
