Do you like your skin color?


Where I live, regardless of how attractive you are, if your skin tone is considered dark then it's gonna drag down your attractiveness/rating, like you could be a total knockout but won't be considered over a 5/10 at all. My mom always tells me that I'll have a hard time finding a man. Funny thing is, just talking about it, or mentioning it makes some people on g@g think that I hate my skin tone or have bitterness towards it. Probably because they don't come from the same culture so they don't entirely get it.
The reality is, I neither despise it nor 'glorify' it and think that it somehow makes me more special. It doesn't. As long as I find foundation that matches my skin tone in the market I'm good, because makeup for dark skin is not easy to come by here. I'm grateful for one thing though, that I can spend hours under the sun and I just get tanned, I don't get sunburns. I also seem to pull off both gold and silver jewelry, so that's great. Yeah most men here don't find it desirable, so what? I'm marrying only one so it doesn't matter if he's one in a thousand or one in a million.
The only true 'bummer' comes with my skin tone is that I have vitiligo so the white spots are noticeable even from far away and it's very distracting especially when talking a photo. I could be several feet away from the camera and the whites are still visible if I don't cover them up with a heavy-duty concealer (I use the kind that Drag Queens use for stage performance). Otherwise, I have no other complaints.
But you're not dark. You have a pretty skin tone. Nice and olive tone.
Yeah I'm not that dark but at least enough that everyone commented on it when I was a kid, even a doctor I went to was telling my mom 'she looks like the darkest out of all your kids' and what pissed me off was mom laughed at that and replied 'well yeah she is'
This insanity needs to stop then.
It's just a skintone 🤷🏾♀️. I like when my actual skin is clear and glows and such. I don't get too wrapped up in the color of skin and all that. I feel that people that focus on that are hidden colorists.
Naturally tan half of my forearms. Then pretty pale everywhere else. I've never tanned anything other then that my arm part. Don't really care too. If I had a choice? Sometimes I get this like orange hue I wouldn't mind if I had it pernamently. Can't figure out why it happens. Maybe it's something to do with the air quality and humidity and stuff.
Mines nice. But what kind of makes me disappointed but proud at the same time is darker color skin I feel is starting to become more popular. I'm all nerdy pasty white 😂 but it's a good time to have darker colored skin. Or at least I thing so anyway

Yea im a bit darker than beyonce but i like my little caramel self. Some call me a redbone. Yellabone would be more if i had a “mixed girl” tone. I miss the natural tans i used to get as a kid when i played around outside. I was glowing beautifully
I'm the first one from Mediums's row. I like my skin, it's really nice colour. I used to be darker before pregnancy though. And when I tan it gets some golden-brown colour. My skin has perfect colour. ❤
Yes i like it! I am white but not pale or smt. I always like to get a bit brown by the sun :)
I'm natural light yellow skin tone, but the sun here in Miami has toasted by forearms. It looks nice but a bit too reddish.
I have a very fair complexion (pale blue eyes, freckles, and light brown hair) and I think it suits me nicely. I can’t imagine myself as darker or tan, so I would say that I like my coloring.
Yes, finally. My skin is dark, which I hated growing up, but now I think it's cool.
I say you should be happy with whatever God gives you.
i embrace whiteness man, a lot of people say its ugly or i should get a tan,
to them i say fuck u.. white people are hot
I don't mind mine - Really pale
Yes. I like my dark skin.
ya i love my skin color
Love it
I like your beige skin tone too. Same color I'm going to paint my house with. 😂
What? Houses are suppose to look that color. Looks nice to me.
That's not my skin tone though. 😂😂

Black? I know black people with your skin color. Lol
She wasn't albino.
Neither mixed as both her parents were black but just a bit light skinned.
She was black and identified as black only. Her facial features were all of a black person. She was my friend and I saw her everyday at lunch and dinner back in college. We sat together to eat.
I'm telling you the truth.
I think she inherited a recessive gene.
Her phenotype is very clear that of blacks though, not white.
Man, that was when I was in college back in 2010...
Here physical features were like hers but your skin complexion.
No... her physical facial features were though, a bit stronger too.
Those are very Europeam features my friend. Let me show you what African Americans used to look like.

Her physical feature aren't euporean at all. If you see her in person you're not going to say oh.. that lady over there. Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump have European features.
Here. Happy?

That will be my college female friend face.
Tom Joyner has black parents. You think blacks only come in dark skin... which isn't the case here in America
Yeah... some carry European blood do to rape during slavery days, but they are not classified as whites racially.
Sure. It suits me.
I'm kinda pale for my liking
Medium 🤷♀️
