Hi Girls,

I know that we have some girls here with natural darker skins. Here is a recent article from the Guardian with some good tips from foundation to highlighters. Those of us with caucasian skins may want to look too - especially at the Becca resurfacing primer. hugs Pauline xxx

Really interesting Pauline! I often wish I was dark skinned and not the pasty pale colour that stares back at em in the mirror! Thnaks for the link, I am a big fan of face primer's, before putting any foundaiton on! especially as male skin has more and larger pores, the primer helps to smooth the skin generally making the foundation look more natural! my face is very lumpy and porridgey!!!..... so it helps to apply before putting my face on!

I really hate my skin if im honest, it tans so easily but also fades as fast.

Last shoot i did i look proper tanned, thats after just one day laying in the sun, i swear its faded already.

Never used primer, my skin has so many imperfections it would be folly to try cover all of them, and their more noticeable when my skin pales i think.xxx

just remember that being tanned may look nice and warm and all that but its also bad for your skin to allow too much radiation onto you skin. The nuclear furnace that is the sun is great for providing conditions for life but not for great skin. Hare krishna lol
