Anyway, this is not what I wanted to write about today...today I wanted to write about the problems of being white, and I don't mean like white as in Caucasian, cause I don't need to deal with race inequality and racism on here right atm (though I am totally against both) I mean being actually literally white. Like I'm so pale I glow in the dark sort of white... If this packet of crayons was the spectrum of human skin tones (as it is supposed to be) then I'd legits be that little white one hiding in the corner.Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind being pale so much, I feel like I'd look very very strange if I was tan, but it's the things that come with being so pale that drive me nuts.
First of all it is imposssssible to find foundation that fits my skin tone. The number of brands in which I've tried the lightest shade only to find it significantly too dark makes me weep a bit inside. I resorted to using bb creams instead of foundation, because the coverage is so much less that I can get away with it not quiiiite being the right shade, then I've got really cheap translucent powder that is less translucent as actually white, so that pales the make up back down a bit so it looks slightly less dodgy, but it's still noticeably kind of dodgy. I've finally found a foundation that's the right shade after giving up looking for myself and going to an expensive make up shop and begging them to help me, but of course because it's me the only foundation I've found that's light enough is $70. I mean really, like I can afford that...but I've tried all the cheaper brands and that shit ain't gonna work, so I have to go with this, though thankfully my bestest bud is in America on a family holiday at the moment, so I made her buy me lots of nice make up for a fraction of the price it'd cost to get it here (the foundation is $44 USD, so abouuuut that in Australian dollars with the current exchange rate). The foundation is NARS Sheer Glow foundation in Mont Blanc (I mean it's got the word white in the name!) just btw...it's the second lightest shade in the collection, but it's pretty much as pale as the palest, it's just this one has a pinky undertone and the other one has a yellow undertone (bam! Make up knowledge right there! Thank you YouTube ;)) |
| Aww, look! It's a heart! ;3 |
The last really annoying thing about being so pale is the people who pretend to be pale. I just don't get it, if I could be at least a little not white then I would be, but then there are people who wear foundation 3 shades too light (and then you can see that their face is a completely different colour to the rest of them) because they think it's cool to be pale... wut. I mean I know that we internet dwellers set a high standard for cool, and thus people try to mimic us, such as trying to get the well earned palour of our skin tone from hours inside on the computer instead of outside in the sun, but really. The fact that I'm as pale as I am doesn't really have much to do with how much time I spend on the internet...I spend almost every lunch time and recess chillin outside, and if I could internet in the sun I 10/10 would, I'm like a cat in that way. But yeah, I don't understand people who try to be pale, and then you see photos of them with other people and they just look ridiculous...but yeah, do whatever you like people.
Anyway, that's my rant about being a pale person. It sucks, but after years of dealing with it, I'm finally embracing my inner polar bear and rocking the white ;)
I'm trying to do a post every day this week because I'm on holidays and don't have anything else to do...kidding! I'd totally do this even if I had a ridiculous amount of stuff to do (which I totally do ohgod why do I procrastinate so much?!) so I'll see you cool kids tomorrow!
TTFN! (if you don't know what is means- shame on you! ;o)
xoxo
