Re: Do Indian Women Want Lighter Skin?
I didn't read the entire article cuz I'm supposed to be doing something else haha. But like MisStarrlight said a lot of people have color complexes. For example a lot of my lighter skinned customer want to be an NC44 when they clearly are an NC30 TOPS!
I have heard that in India the women like light skin. I've also heard that they wear a lot of colored contacts (blue eyes and green eyes). It's not a matter of racism but I think that the general idea of beauty is that lighter women are the ideal. Like a nice light shade, but a healthy tan. Does that make sense?!
I think it counts here too, all my light skinned customer want to be tanner. It's not a race thing like I said, it's just when everyone sees the nice medium toned girl with the perfect tan - not too light, not too dark - then that's what's in.
