I have pale skin so i use a tinted moisturiser to add colour to my skin. Summer and the sun makes my skin look glowy but winter totally works against my skin. I never use black eyeliner, if needed i choose a brown shade as an eyeliner.

All shades of skin look good, it just depends on the person and how they accentuate it best.

Don't listen to anyone who tells you that having pale skin is ugly or somehow 'un-cool'. All of the hot models you see on the runways in New York and Milan all have glowing porceline complexions.

The difference between being a positive 'porceline white' or a negative 'pasty and sickly', is just how you take care of yourself. As long as you are drinking more than 2ltrs of water a day and stay out of the sun, you're going to have a healthy glow regardless.

In my opinion, there is nothing trashier and less attractive than orangey brown fake tan (sprayed over prematurely aged and sun damaged skin) and cheaply bleached straw hair.
That looks disgusting, but also boring. They all look the same, and having a different and more dramatic shade of skin is a chance to stand out and be unique. And because you have healthy skin, you'll probably look roughly the same in 10 years, whereas everyone else will all look old and haggard.

Besides, porcaline skin is FUCKING HOT. Dita Von Teese, Angelina Jolie, Gwen Stefani, Alice Burdeu, Scarlett Johanneson, and Drew Barrymore, all have pale skin and look at them!

I don't get why people use fake tan when they're really pale. It looks wrong. Just be normal.

pale skin proves that you aren't a pleb who has to work in the sun.
but a tan proves you are rich enough to holiday in exotic destinations (or the gold coast)

haha, same.

I look after my skin and drink water and everything, and I think in day to day life I look just fine, but I always look ghostly in photos. For example(on the left):




for reference, if you saw the person next to me on her own you'd say she was pretty pale as well. And I know it's at night and it's flash photography and I'm not particularly wearing flattering colours because it was a costume party but damn, I'm like, paper white.

I've noticed that Dove tinted moisturiser in beige gives a nice glow without being obvious. New strategy.

I don't mind glowing white. I've gotten used to it, I guess. I'd rather glow white than look dirty and orange like so many fake tanned girls do.

You seem to be exuding light, is all. Seems special or something.

LOL thankyou.

but yeah I look a bit less vampiric in real life and in non flash photos so it's all good. Would rather be really pale than use fake tan, it always looks bad (on just about everyone)
