This only works for about the first 5 minutes until the bright red glow of human lobster sunburn sets in.

no no. the red color does not come till you are out of the sun and its to late to stop the torment.

I've seen this so many times, and every single time it surprises me anew.

You really have to take a second look. She just blends in so well. Perfect camouflage.

That's honestly impressive.

My skin's about that light. You would not believe the number of people who think it's fine to comment on the color of your skin and tell you how weird it is. And foundation is such a pain in the ass. You're lighter than KVD 40N or don't want to spend $40/oz? Fuck you, mix a match yourself.

Ah that sucks, I don't wear makeup at all, very glad I don't have to deal with that ://

At least you get to wear mineral sunscreen without worrying about the whitish cast, right? /S

Edit: am also on the pale AF end, and it's creepy when people try and help me "fix" it. Tanning was big when I was in high school and I just burn, never tan. Luckily Rimmel has a good cheap foundation that works for me.

There was a lad I used to know and his nickname was milk bottle. There are particularly shiny people here for sure.

There are people with very light skin, but this one looks photoshopped.

I'm to the left of the other Irish girl. If you squint you can see me.

No, that’s just your reflection in the screen.
