Comment on Dollface Reviews: MAC Fluidline Gel Liner by Elizabeth

I love gel liner. It’s just as intense as liquid but without the annoying dry time and impossible application,but it’s so much more long-lasting than pencil. I personally LOVE the Maybelline one… it’s just as good as the MAC one but cheaper and easier to access. Definitely try it!

If pale people can’t wear cream, we’d all be a bit scuppered when it came to getting married! I wore ivory – and I’ve got super blonde hair to go with the pale skin, so, by those rules I should absolutely avoid wearing anything pale….but dammit, I looked damn good in my ivory gown!

The only thing I dislike about the LV collection (besides not being able to afford it) is the “don’t see the sun” part. I see the sun, I like being outside – I just wear muchos sun cream to make sure that my pale skin stays that way – pale! Other than that, it’s lovely that pale skin is being presented as something beautiful in high fashion for a change

“I always make a point of telling people who mention it that I go out of my way not to tan (which is true) as I love my pale skin colour”.

I do this too: it really infuriates me when I come back from a trip somewhere sunny and every person I meet wants to know why I don’t have a tan – er, because I wear the highest SPF I can find, because I don’t want to burn, or worse. It’s always said in this very accusatory tone, too, as if I’ve done something “wrong” by not tanning, when I actually think the opposite is true. People always talk about a “healthy tan” but in my case it’s a healthy pallor!

I think a lot of people seem to think that if you’re pale, you can’t wear pale colours without looking washed out… I look “washed out” whatever I wear, but I actually think paler colours can be more flattering on me than darker ones: black just drains me, for instance, but I do like white and cream. I think it can create quite a dramatic look, too, but hey, not everyone is going to like everything!

that’s quite rude… i’d get a bit angry with someone i barely know saying that! i get the same type of comment all the time, mostly because the skin underneath my eyes is very thin and the tiniest bit of tiredness expresses itself there in the shape of dark circles. (i have to admit i’m too lazy to ever do anything about that, i rarely wear more makeup than my usual liner/mascara and the occasional red lip)

anyway, i’m a pale girl as well… it shows even more since my family has some spanish ancestors and my brother got those genes, so he’s very dark skinned. i noticed my legs actually reflect light. i’ve had people stating that being a vegetarian must be unhealthy because i am so much paler than my brother and parents, and people seeing me in profile asking if i have a black eye (right after some exhausting exams)

Wow, that’s so rude. I once got asked ‘how do you stay so pale?’ by someone clearly wearing fake tan and I wanted to say ‘by not rubbing orange dye all over my face’ but just said ‘sunscreen’. I always make a point of telling people who mention it that I go out of my way not to tan (which is true) as I love my pale skin colour.

Me too, sometimes. I can’t pull off the darker blush I usually use in the summer during January and February. I really need a slightly more neutral palette for winter, but am loath to spend the money for something I’ll use 2 or 3 months of the year….

Grrr… I get things like that all the time, although they are still very rude, no matter how common. One coworker in particular seems especially keen on making sure that I’m not coming down with the flu or something similar (very nosy), and always, without fail, mentions my complexion to me when I don’t put blush on. I have very dark, almost black hair, and the contrast between that and my winter skin is very dramatic, and I sometimes play that up because I’m aware that it makes me look unique. (I am careful to use a bit of color somewhere on my face, usually pretty eyeshadow, to make sure I don’t look gothic, which is not my favorite look.) It’s not as if those of us with very pale skin go around in the summer commenting on how dark everyone else has gotten!

Agree totally, although I wouldn’t want to to look “cloudlike and fragile” to be honest. But I can’t understand why the fellow blogger thought you shouldn’t be wearing a cream dress, especially with your fabulous hair. I don’t look that great in cream (very pale skin and blonde hair so it makes me disappear) but in your case they just don’t have an argument. So there.

LV is not for me either, but this decision may open the others designers view to create itens to please all skin tones.
