[practically-an-x-man]

I never realize how unevenly pigmented my skin is until someone has to put me in makeup lol

#like for starters i'm already pale as fuck. like so pale i'm basically translucent and you can see all my veins #but then there are these blotchy areas around my eyes and mouth that are even paler #it's really subtle so it doesn't matter a whole lot. but when you're trying to color match it definitely complicates things #and then i've got these patchy little freckles across my nose and cheeks. also hard to notice unless you're way up close #but anyone putting me in makeup is way up close. and very quickly starts wondering why i look so flat when they're colormatching at first #and at first i look really pink/red but when you actually try to match my skin tone i'm so blue undertoned i look undead #so it's just. an experience for anyone trying to match my skin tone for a prosthetic #my classmate today is good at colormatching so it wasn't too bad but i feel bad for the girl who put me in a bald cap last semester
