are y'all ready for an incredibly petty makeup whine
finding a foundation color is so goddamn hard for me.
and whenever i try to find resources, most of them are from ~suPerPaiL princEssEEsss~. i asked for help on /r/mua and i'm pretty sure this is why my post got deleted lol.
i realize that i am, of course, benefiting from centuries of colorism and so on, but I JUST WANT TO FIND THE CORRECT SPACKLE FOR MY FACE NOT PARTICIPATE IN THAT WEIRD BUSINESS OF PEOPLE TRYING TO BE SUPER-PALE
it is not exactly a super great thing, being this pale!!! i go from ok to lobster in about .2 seconds!! i'm sure that skin cancer is gonna come get me at any day now!!!
i just want some advice about foundations....
and to sound egregiously entitled still... ALMOST NOBODY MAKES A SHADE THAT MATCHES ME GODDAMN. i mean of course i have it so much better than poc, but like. it's nearly impossible. unless i want to spend money on fucking dior foundation. drugstore shit? nope not there
i mean the entire problem is that i am both very pale, and my skin seems to think that the color yellow is fake news. so if i put on the shade that should match me if-it-were-all-greyscale, the yellow undertones make me look like i am about to star in some horrific racist commercial from 1957 with mickey rooney reprising his role from breakfast at tiffany's and THAT IS NOT A GOOD LOOK! FOR ANYONE!
at BEST i look severely jaundiced like i'm about to keel over of liver failure or w/e
i am just a simple wigglytuff yelling in the wilderness "no you don't understand!!! i'm not being all weird about having pale skin, THIS IS JUST HOW IT IS PLEASE STOP BEING WEIRD ABOUT IT, IT'S NOT A VIRTUE OR WHATEVER now can you please tell me about reasonably-priced foundations that might match my skin tone"
