deep sea fishing

[faifai]

Dark green/purple/navy blue/glittery nudes. There's no way I'm getting Lure stuff, it's too bright. I like my underwater eyes to be a little more subtle.

There are at least 6 different colors on my lids: Milani Clover, Milani Enchantment, Prestige Ink, Naturistics Turquoise, no-name gold, Prestige Flushed, shimmery base color...but it looks like maybe two colors. When I took the pictures they came out looking like a generic smoky eye!

At least my skin looks ok (I never wear foundation). In the last picture, though, it's obvious that I'm already starting to get my summer "tan"...that's what happens when you skip sunscreen for just a couple days in 110 degree weather. Man.

Oh, and click this and tell me if you hear anything (don't worry, it's just me filming a speaker. you should hear a clip of music). It'll tell me if uploading videos works or not. Imagine the possibilities!

I can hear the music from the link.

I have a question. Why don't you like tans? I think that you look great in all the pics, tan or not.

I know you said you weren't a fan of tans in another thread and it caught my interest cuz you have beautiful, naturally tanned skin and I think it's one of the things that makes you gorgeous.

Tanning in beds/outside wreaks havoc on your skin. The "base tan" thing is a myth, because in order to procure a base tan you must damage your skin in the first place. Tanning in beds is no safer than tanning outside. It's like saying that your options are: you can either be sent outside to battle an acid rainstorm or you can take a milder acid rain bath, since, you know, you're going to be pelted with acid rain anyway (except that people seem to forget that things like umbrellas and hats exist).

It causes cancer, looks pretty unnatural (when a white person is browner than me, it makes me do a double take), causes leathery wrinkled skin when you're older, etc.

See: Donatella Versace.

Bottle tans/bronzer powders/etc. I'm usually not a fan of either, simply because they tend to look too orange, too red, or too dark. If you're normally quite pale, even the smallest amount of tanning generally looks unnatural. I love love love naturally pale skin because so few people seem to want it anymore (Asian communities aside...in that group, I get told quite frequently that it's a pity I wasn't paler because then I'd be better looking).

I might be biased because I'm from AZ, the skin cancer capitol of the world, and see so many people with perfect skin either damage it through beds or through neglect. Nearly the entire population of ASU is tan and bleached blonde, so porcelain skin is just more unique in my opinion. The upkeep for having pale/natural skin is probably less time-consuming than having tanned skin--wearing sunscreen religiously is no more difficult than having to exfoliate, apply tanner, stand around waiting for it to dry, or finding the time to go to tanning beds/Mystic Tans and paying for them every week.

I've just seen too many wealthy, leathery old ladies and too many Oompa Loompa-esque teenagers all over the world to be convinced that tanning can be a good thing. I'm not against flaunting what you've got or improving your features if that's what makes you happy (I wouldn't be a makeup fiend if I believed that!), but the negative effects of tanning seem to outweigh the potential benefits, IMO.

YES YES YES!!!!! Yvette agrees 100%!!!! How many, many times I've seen women that are no older than 30yrs. look like they're about 45 because they're religeous tanners. We've all seen those white girls at water parks that look like they've spent literally DAYS baking in the sun/artificial light. Sure, it may look sexy NOW...but look at those girls in 10-20 yrs. Not so hot then. Years ago when nobody knew the effects of tanning, all the girls (and even the guys) did it. You know...those Venice Beach chicks w/ the sun reflectors around their necks and baby oil on their skin.... Fast forward 30yrs. and now they're the women we see walking around Nordstrom w/ the leathery, wrinkled skin lookin' like a cheap Farragamo knock-off. Oh, and many of them have had "procedures" to take the CANCER off of their noses!!!!

Yeah, I'd rather be "creamy" now than leathery 10 years from now!!!

 

[slvrlips]

you are stunning
I love your look
What lip color do you have on?

 

[SingleWinged]

You're Bengali?! So am I! =) My Dad is part Persian so people can never guess what I am

 

[laa_cat]

Girl, you are HOT!!! Your cheek bones are sooooo gorgeous!
I am glad I am from a culture that doesn't glorify tan, on the contrary we worship being as fair as possible (I am Chinese). Of course things might be a bit different now, people start to look for "healthier" color but generally we don't tan as much. My mum is approaching 50 and honestly, she still has very good skin.

 

[hyperRealGurl]

beautiful, the color looks so pretty on u

 

[fredinbed]

you are beautiful, i've never seen another person with your features and i love them!

i'm going to weigh in to the pale vs tan debate too, as an extreme pale person.

please don't complain too much about tanning from the sun. the other result is MUCH worse. > 5 minutes in the sun and i burn, > 15 minutes in the sun and that burn will blister a bit and peel, > 25 minutes in the sun and that burn will blister, bleed and leave me feeling tired and unwell. wearing sunscreen will only add around 10 -20 minutes to those numbers.

in terms of being damaging, it is now considered that one serious burn (a burn that blisters and peels) can cause a cancer later in life. now consider that i wear sunscreen every day and try my very best to avoid being in the sun for longer than 10 minutes anyway yet a conservative estimate of the number of times i've suffered a serious burn would be 45 and i am only 20. i already have sunspots that i have to keep an eye as they are likely to turn into cancers, there are too many of them to just remove them all now though.

so please don't get too upset about getting a little tan when you could be getting a whole lot worse.

 

[Luxurious]

very nice.

I agree completely!! I hate when people say that a tan is ok, and want to lay out for hours, or are excited about getting burnt b/c it will fade to a tan later. I have a friend who gets excited when the UV is up, b/c she says she'll tan better that way. I want to shake her when I hear that! I don't understand how people can completely be ignorant of taking care of their skin - why don't they get it?

 

[hinna]

Love your look. Your bone structure gets me every time - so hot!

Also, if you dont mind sharing ... im after a sunscreen and would love to know what works for you - all the info about stability and active ingredients confuses me

 

[MAC_WH0RE]
