Us brown-skinned girls get ashy if we don't moisturize.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The girls show more skin these days, but I think, generally, they behave the same way as when I was growing up.
I have olive skin, so if I'm in the sun for even 15 minutes, I turn brown.
I'm very English. I'm white. I mean, I'm so pale. With spray tans they start peeling and start getting really dirty looking.
But for real, for me, I feel like with the red lipstick thing it all depends on the pair of complexion. I'm just being for real. You have to be fair skinned to get away with that.
Our girls have learned that sweat is sexy, brawn is beautiful and a little dirt never hurt anyone.
The grass is always greener on the other side. We are busy applying fairness creams while people in the West go bare-bodied on the beach to get a tan. Indian girls have ruled the roost when it comes to beauty pageants. I flaunt my complexion, and I am proud to be noticed as an Indian wherever I go.
Sometimes in the heart of the summer, I look at people with their faces shaved and think it'd be nice, but once you get used to it, it's not as hot. Most guys say it gets itchy, but once you grow it out into a big man beard, the itching is gone.
Everybody has a bad hair day, but us girls still like to be told we look nice even if we don't feel like we do.
I think there's always the whole expectation that men can age and look fine, and girls have to be all conscious. But guys can also keep their skin intact.
I am a metrosexual and into male grooming - I moisturise, I exfoliate.
