@Nehal @Octavia @Jen Thanks Ladies. Little do they know when you bleach your skin it'll look like you added a whole bunch of white powder to your face and it won't come off.

@Sarena K.: I am Caucasian with olive undertone skin dark hair/dark eyes. I have actually had plenty of compliments from guys that are Black/African comment on my skin tone for being unique and standing out from other white girls.

Also, without being TOO off topic, I would like to let everyone know that olive skin is not one size fits all! It comes in a variety of different shades, from fair to dark! While Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria and Eva Mendez are very well known for their olive skin, they are all just one shade of olive! I don't mean to rant or take off importance of the subject, that's not my intention, I'm just pointing out how olive skin is more about the unique hue, not the tone of skin! I would actually be an example of light olive skin.

That being said, I do like the uniqueness of having fair and olive skin! For starters, it's almost unheard of-- in a way that sounds nearly contradicting. On the other hand, it lets me play around with different unnatural jewel toned shades of red like the colors of fruit, jewels and desserts (from the bright shades of cherry and ruby, to the more subdue shades of plum or wine or in between like red velvet!) without being too inappropriate for school or work. I have the fair complexion of a redhead, but the olive/green undertones to balance out the shade and help me carry those colors off really well! So yes, all skin is beautiful!
