Two for one, cabana stripes and butter yellow

Butter yellow has swept the scene, replacing beige as the go to summer neutral. Minimalistic, warm and calming, butter yellow pairs beautifully with so many options from crisp white to chocolate brown to baby blue. How are you feeling about butter yellow this summer?

Yeah, my foundation colour is 'sickly victorian child with cholera' or 'ghost with consumption' and tanning is all but impossible. That pale yellow is an absolute no-go. Its bad enough that a few weeks back after I asked my mother for her opinion on a dress I was planning on wearing to an event she literally just sent me a link to gradual tanning lotion to put on my fluorescent white and blue legs... at least might help reduce the effect of them looking like freshly plucked poultry...

It's a good thing your descriptons are extremely hilarious. So at least I could laugh after the "freshly plucked poultry" legs hit way too close home. Though mine are not white and blue but... well, pale yellow.

Yep my foundation colour is "oh dear you look unwell".

Do beauty salons still do pro spray tans? Some of those used to be good for special occasions, if you're struggling not to feel self conscious

Honestly I'm fine with it lol, I mostly just find the funny side of it. I am tempted to give a very light gradual tan a go however.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
