Does Tyra Banks look 79% African?

[Sikeliot]

People would likely say no and were shocked when she got her DNA test results (79% African, 15% British, 6% Amerindian) because they see her looking like this:

But in my opinion with her natural look she looks MORE African than 79% and has very African features:

Yep. She wears wig, her natural hair is nappy. I think the North European genes help in skin depigmentation.

[de Burgh II]

Cosmetics do mask/change a person's natural appearance so its believable.

[Sikeliot]

This is without makeup. I honestly think eye color aside, here she looks 100% SSA.

It is amazing how much difference the styling makes.

In these two last pics she looks like a skinny version of Oprah.

How African would you guess based on the photos with no makeup or Hollywood styling?

[NSXD60]

About 70%

[Odin]

Yup.

[Gangrel]

Yep. She is Griffe so her DNA percentage is about right

[Thambi]

Idk to me she looks like in the 60s. 80% SSA is more than an average african american and she looks lighter than average. But again genotype doesnt always equal phenotype.

I think she's had cosmetic surgery to alter her features and dangerous skin bleaching, and it's obvious she wears a wig. The iris in her eyes look glassy, thick, and fake. She wears hazel-green coloured contacts in her eyes like the black supermodel Naomi Campbell wears blue contacts in her dark brown eyes, along with wigs like a lot of black women wear on their heads. (Their natural hair colour is black and the natural texture of their hair is afro.)

I think she looks 100% SSA before skin bleaching, wigs, contacts, surgery, and heavy make-up.

It's astonishing how skin bleaching, wigs, surgery, make-up and professional lighting can transform a person's physical appearance:

Also see how make-up, contacts and wigs creates optical illusions and optically transforms a person's contours, skintone, features and racial appearance, without plastic surgery:

0:06 - with make-up, fake eyelashes, wig, contacts, (looks like Angelina Jolie.)
0.11 - without make-up, false lashes, wig and contacts. (Looks Oriental.)

she has hazel eyes, in her baby photos you can tell she has light eyes
she also doesnt skin bleach, its normal to be very light and then dark especially within MGM families like african americans

for example, bow wow has hazel eyes too, this his baby picture

Removing make-up and photograph effect, yes.
