7 Things All Pale People Know

You would think since we have to apply and reapply all day long that we would be good at it by now. Never the less, we end up with splotches of red all over. It doesn't matter if we were outside for 5 minutes or 5 hours, the damage has been done.

Speaking of being outside for 5 minutes or 5 hours, it doesn't really matter. Yes, we can get more burnt the longer we stay out under that big ball of fiery gas. However, after about 5 minutes we already look like what most people look like after spending a couple of hours out in the sun.

Warm toned anything immediately makes us look like an Oompa-Loompa. Even the lightest foundation shade is sometimes too dark for us, I'm looking at you Wet n Wild cushion foundation. Contouring is also a hassle, most contour shades are way too dark and way too warm toned.

As the winter rolls around many of our tan friends start to complain about just how pale they are. We roll our eyes thinking that even in the summer we don't look that tan. To make our friends feel better we roll up our sleeves and compare arms.

"Oh my God you're so pale," a random person will say as if you didn't know already. We retort back with, "I'm alabaster," or "I'm porcelain." Both of those sound better than saying you're pale.

Within 2 minutes of a workout our faces are as red as a tomato.

Sunburn is most definitely a slow burn. The next day is always so much worse than the immediate burn. The next day could see blisters and even redder skin.
