It's not always perfect! I can get pretty blotchy. It just seems like the sort of thing I oughta know. It came up as Joy -- who has a similar skin type -- was talking about the tribulations of finding makeup that matches pink-white skin like ours. Sometimes I think it'd be nice to dress up outrageously, and makeup is part of that. One thing about being one of the melanin-deficient: when we've got a flu, we can really look like hell. ("Wow, I didn't know people could get that color.") When I'm feeling lousy and I have to go out, I get out the makeup kit so I don't scare small children with my death-warmed-over look. Heh. It’s not always perfect! I can get pretty blotchy.

But yeah, you've got the best skin of anyone I know! Why do you want to put anything on it? It's already perfect!

(i think the shade is called fair, but don't quote me on that.) if you're looking for a foundation, you buy one that's close then you come over here and have me blend it for you so it matches. stila makes a nice powder that’s completely white. just don’t over do, or you look funny.

This is because I'm Norwegian, I think. The school nurse used to send me home every time she saw me: "Oh, honey, you look so pale! Lie down, I'll call your mother." I don't wear powder, so I'm no help at all. You look totally normal to me. This is because I’m Norwegian, I think.
