22. I am quite familiar with shades of pale skin.

Given my Irish DNA, my family has many shades of pale skin.
I call it the Casper the Ghost look.
Thank god for make up.

Also the Irish often have a ruddy tone on top of pale.
And freckles, so some color.

And I am one of those people who can see when people's faces take on different tones.
When my daughter was ill, her skin had a green undertone.

Or when my friends and not feeling well it shows up in the color of their skin.

People with fair skin often have delicate thinner skin.
So you can see what is going on underneath the skin.

I saw a picture once of Trump with no make up.
He was white white white. The scary white, no life to it.
No sign of blood flow to the face.
This is not normal pale.
Not normal pale at all.
