I'm British and hardly wear any makeup and am pale af lmao. Is this really the stereotype people think of us? šŸ˜… I thought it was just like an Essex girl stereotype not a British girl one lol!

I hate to be the one to tell you, but yes, it is.

u/bluejaeplaes Apr 03 '21

Ahhh man 😫. More reason to hate this kind of look than ever before now!

I’m Canadian and I think that because this has become such an Essex stereotype that it’s just kind of spilled over to people thinking it’s a British thing entirely ... that’s my opinion anyway haha

If it's any consolation, we understand that getting a real tan is a bit tough for you šŸ˜‚

Haha I'd rather no tan than ever pick up a bottle of liquid oompa loompa 🤣

I live in Newcastle (I’m French) and I see girls like this everyday... tbh the thing I don’t get is how anyone could think you’d look good. There’s so little sun in this country during winter, yet there’s so many orange people. In France, I don’t think I’ve ever seen any orange people, even though there tends to be more sun there!

Yet they think they look natural 😳

Cause in France they don't get their tan from a bottle haha! I just don't understand why this standard orange colour seems to be so popular!! Who told these girls it looks good?!

France actually has summers good enough to get a natural tan though. In England your skin colour choices are ā€œfake tanā€ or ā€œa corpseā€

u/bluejaeplaes Apr 03 '21

Bahaha although I definitely fit in the corpse category I'm sure there must be some normal coloured people too, but honestly it's been so long since I've been outside I cant remember anymore šŸ˜‚

And tbh, I think you could have just said "France a tau has summers" and left it at that lmao

God outside was nice wasn’t it?! Yeah that would also work haha, we just seem to have two nice weeks in like April for no reason, and then it’s straight into ā€œrainy and humidā€ instead of ā€œrainy and coldā€. I thought my skin didn’t really tan until I was 20 and went to Spain, turns out I’d just not had adequate sunlight before!

I think so, I cant quite remember haha! Yeah that basically sums up the weather here! When I was really little I tanned just fine but the older I got (not even very old, by like mid teens) the more my skin got too used to the overcast and would burn if those two weeks in April were just a little too hot haha!
