*snort* Perhaps tanning might work better then makeup? Gives a healthier glow?

Trey burns, she doesn't tan... and we are very dark people at heart so we prefer to be pale... we are on the ede of being Gothic...

is it? I guess I should ask Jones, then. XD "Can Clyde tan?"
I remember one cosplay I did, the character was pale as a ghost.. I stayed indoors all spring to get the requisite sickly pallor. It wasn't fun. Especially because I'm an outdoors girl. I was so sad. Y_Y
Mmmm.. tanning. Vitamin D!

That seems a bit excessive to me...
Depends on who the character is though...

Nah. I'm a perfectionist, see. And I matched the character on all other aspects, really. Height, body built, general weight-- the only thing that didn't work is that I'm naturally pretty tanned [you can see it from the pictures (I'm half spanish, so that's where it comes from)]. So, to get the perfect cosplay, I actually just stayed indoors as much as possible.
Once June hit, I was outside cooking myself, no problem. But I stayed pale for as long as possible. XD I hate wearing lighter makeup.. *sigh*

Are you weird or am I weird?
Or are we both weird, but in different ways...

@ RedSky: Perfectionistic cosplays tend to be the least of my wierdness. So, really. ^_^ I like it.
@ Trey: I got the genetic lucky-- the Dad's side is Spanish, and they have higher concentrations of.. I think it's melanin? My skin's naturally olive, so we burn less, wrinkle less---its a sort of adaptation to the southern climates. ^_^ Less skin cancer, too. And tanning is the least of my problems, health wise. Bone tumours'll kill me before melanoma does. XD
@ Poppy: What about some of the better ones? They have really nice, subtle ones now a days...

Pale + olive = less pale.

Pale + Olives = less pale but green...
