It's funny how makeup is named to look as un-racist as possible. There is "bare" for super pale people, "deep" for black people, and a bunch of unrelated words like "silk" and "honey" for the shades in between, amirite?

lol i guess so...i never seen you... but not necessarily....they just come up with these names figuratively because there are more human skin colors than there are names for them...

My normal shade is probably "florescent hospital white". My "tan" is probably "fluffy cloud". Believe it or not, my tan is still super white [because I don't try to tan...]

My mom thought mine WAS ivory (the lightest shade) until we found this skin match thing. Turns out I'm the third lightest shade. WOOP WOOP.

first of all the reason for this is the reason for this is that race has nothing to do with color (to a certain extent)....there are really light Caucasians and some pretty dusky ones....there are really dark black people and some pretty pale ones. same with like pretty much every race. Also the human skin comes in sooooo many shades and hues, there are not enough names for all of them so they have to make shit up like that.

I believe you meant "nonracist" or "tolerant". Sorry, but a grammar nazi's gotta do what a grammar nazi's gotta do.

It would be easier if make-up would call my skin color "brown" with either "dark" or "light" in front. Then, I wouldn't have to go through all that "honey beige" or "mineral earth" crap.

Then should it be as racist as possible? Of course cosmetic companies aren't going to do that.
