My Pale Skin

I recommend never let someone make you believe that, including yourself.

Loosely in context...

This worthwhile video was posted in another now deleted thread but has been restored to its own post - it provides some perspective on appearance and what other people say and think about others...

you should see me in bright sunlight and no make up

Personally, I'm a fan of Divine's approach to the question:

Having seen the woman in that Pale Skin video I feel very, very fortunate that I don't have to use hardly any make up.

Seriously, if I was any more pale I'd be translucent.

Can we have a contest? I'm so pale my veins look like a map of the Mississippi River watershed.

I'm so pale Dracula looks like he was on vacation in the Death Valley for the summer without any suntan lotion.

Thanks Ms Grace.

Since this is now in separate thread, let me say I found this video quite touching, and I meant to literally pass the message that is on its end.. 2.:51 -- "You are beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you differently. Not even yourself.", my version of it is --

Don't let people make you think bad of yourself, and that includes and starts with yourself.

Just reminds me that people can be horrible online. I bet she could walk down the street without makeup on and no one would say a word.

as far as pale goes, after trying to get a lot more sun, I'm now no2 shade in mac foundations, a lot of brads don't even make foundation pale enough
