Today, I painted the guest bathroom. Once finished, I noticed the paint splatters on my arms matched my lily white chalky skin. Paint matches me better than my makeup. Guess I need a different paint, and new make up. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I painted my daughter's room with the new paint we bought. It's an oil-based paint which hides all blemishes on the wall, but apparently makes me sick. I'm now throwing up everywhere, but at least the room looks good. FML
Today, I spent the afternoon painting my bedroom and was really pleased with how it turned out. When I moved the furniture back, I noticed a large patch behind the wardrobe I'd missed. The paint shop had closed, and I had no idea which shade I'd used. FML
Today, I finished painting my living room. I had to leave the house in a rush. When I got home, I found smears of paint all around and the carpet crusted with paint that had dried. My cat had rubbed up against the walls and tracked it around. FML
Today, I was painting my bedroom walls, when I was struck with an uncontrollable bout of diarrhea. I had to watch helplessly from the en-suite bathroom as my 2 year old daughter painted a lovely picture for me, all over my new $500 sofa. FML
Today, I started to paint the top of a piece of furniture. My husband had painted the sides a few months ago. I sanded/prepped. He went to buy the paint he had used. I was half done when I stepped back and saw that the colors didn't match. He forgot what he used, so he bought whatever, and "thought it would be OK." FML
Today, I came home to find that my girlfriend had repainted my bedroom. As she had offered to do it, it shouldn't have been a problem. However, she decided to return the several unopened cans of off-white paint that I'd bought for something "more neutral." Like "Sunset Orange." FML
Today, I was painting cabinets for the children's area in my church. While painting, I dropped my brush and got black paint on a white part. I tried to wipe it off. Now there's a very visible smudge that looks like a penis. FML
Today, I went on a first date wearing a new hair color. It was Interior Latex Slate Speckled Grey, from accidentally leaning my head against a wall while house painting earlier. FML
Today, I had to be treated for chemical burns, because my mother got the bright idea of using paint thinner to clean me up after I'd painted our living room. FML
Today, I was painting the bathroom door post. A drop of paint fell on the toilet roll. Guess how I found out. FML

My boyfriend jokes that I need 'Casper' since 'porcelain' and 'ivory' are too dark for me. Mac has a whole set of ultra pale they developed for the Irish market that matches me pretty well. I'm by no means the palist person I know though. There are lighter shades out there if you research them.

What's wrong with the walls being the same color as you? It only compliments your choice paint.

So you have the famous lily white matte skin celebrated in litterature? Good for you. Forget the foundation and splurge on a nice short dress, or maybe on a daiquiri to rosen those cheeks.

As someone else on the "have you ever even been outside?" spectrum of pale, I do have to say the finding foundation/concealer/etc in our shade family is really hard

You can totally blend in with the wall though!

Redhead are we? Don't let it bother you, embrace your viking heritage. They were bad-ass.

When someone calls you a wallflower don't take it so literally

Be aware that many people find pale skin to be very sexy. There is no need to try to change your skin color.

As someone who is so white that the light reflecting off my skin is blinding, try Kat Von D! She has super pale shades, and the coverage is amazing. Plus none of her products are tested on animals and most of them are vegan, which is amazing in my personal opinion. Good luck with the paint and the makeup OP. LOL.
