To be fair the difference between tan and pale skin for East Asians (and some SEAs) is a distinct marker between western-born and international students/FOBs
As a pale westerner Asian, I absolutely see your point. But there’s a lot more than just that, I’m rarely if ever mistaken as a FOB, despite having pasty af skin. Because I pretty much exist in pajamas and my hair is never done and basically my style is underdressed.
Totally true for the Europe thing. I live there. I'm the type who spends lots of time creating unique outfits and I take lots of inspiration from korean and japanese fashion. Well I tend to get glances a lot in the street. I went to visit Japan and South Korean a month ago, and I actually felt underdressed 😅 it was so refreshing to see everyone wearing such cute outfits tho
SAME WITH ME GURL! I'm half Thai and British and I'm naturally a very pale person likeeee I'm giving casper the ghost.. And I'm currently living in the uk and. I get so jealous of seeing people with tanned skin and i really want that but at the same time I wanna embrace my skintone... it's really werid but i totally get u!!
as a western-born southeast asian, i used to try to stay pale and would spend so much energy to avoid the sun during summer. now i don’t care and just let my body tan if im in the sun. i naturally tan when exposed to the sun and im honestly tired and too sweaty to cover up all the time
... Bloody hell... Admittedly, its like that in the Philippines too... I tried to do like how Westerners style in shows like Euphoria/ Harajuku style/ mash-up of Vivienne Westwood-Dior with biker jacket and you know what I got? "Are you going on a date?" "You look Korean" Me: "Guys, its just for Sunday Mass and this is how I see myself!"
im mixed and ngl i think i burn and brown more in tenerife than i do in malaysia, but that’s probably because the heat there is worse and its unbearable to be in the sun sometimes
Im.half chinese ill.only use temp tan and bronzer on soem.days but it has to be a statement thing for me like ineed some heavy teal blueissh eyeliner on the bottom remindsme of the ocean and my skin is the warm sando. The beach when i use bronzer but msor of the time i want to be pale
There are two questions to answer. Are you aiming to please a particular demographic (including 'you') and which culture do you mostly live in? The convention for beauty is determined by the local culture so you need to establish what that is and whether you are aiming to meet or challenge those standards.
As a disabled goth girl who tans at the drop of a hat, this also applies to me LOL 🎀 Love you doll, your beauty tips are the best whether you’re feeling idol pale or ganguro 🌸💕
Idk what part Europe you have been but that's totally false as European myself Balkan countries are totally glam even though if you're gonna grab a coffee

I end up just looking like a different person depending on the season or continent 😅

Idk why but you look literally gorgeous in that hairstyle
For me, as a SE Asian, I love being tan a bit more than pale but sometimes I go for pale too. I understand the struggle. 🇵🇭🇫🇷❤️
Omg me to girl I understand your struggles😭
Off topic but that capybara is so cute😭💗
I'm German but still pretty pale. I have the same problem because my grandmother tell me every time that I would look prettier with a tan.😢
the "cant" was so satisfying
You look beautiful ❤️ in either way 🎉
Same! And even with dressing up, or social culture, its like who do I listen to? Complete opposites 😭😭✋
YESS OMG I used to want to be tan but now I actually want to be paler even though I’m alr somewhat pale

I'm not Asian but being pale is just healthier for my skin, so I gladly stay pale.

Tan
I dunno about the casual dress thing is overdressed... I'm Chinese born in UK, I walk to the local shops in my pajamas and slippers.
I have trouble which style I want 😂😅
pls do India
"Casul dressing in Asia is overdressed in Europe" ... Correction "South East Asia"
Not all Asians dressed like this on casual days (I'm also Asian)
I love kbeauty but i always add bronzer
Since my childhood, I do not know those options.
Cute
I can’t be that pale unfortunately… so I gotta dress western no matter what 😭
Never ever eveerrrr be basic for NOBODY . Honey , shine bright, let them burrrrnnnnnn
- a wise woman
Pale
I want to wear cute things in europe but it's weird when everyone stares, if this is a thing in asia then that's cool
So true 😂
Same for me too

I guess pale? Since i wssume its easier to tan afterwards, than be tan and try reverting to pale
Same😭
As a European i hate tan and the eu style and i get so much negative attention for it from people😂
This but I'm Hawaiian chinese! Do I be pale and doyin or go with my family tan and pacific islander style!!
As a black person atleast u have the option to be pale or tan lol
how do i make my face paler? my body is white but my face is more pink... does weight loss help?
First be pale and Korean style and then tan by the sun and like European style.😂😂 Because you can always tan if ur pale
And asian eyebrows or American feather eyebrows?
Same
Well again asia isn't just south korea, china and japan
