fair, brown, morena complexion

[Floberto]

hi!
I have a question about different skin tones.

I'm caucasian/white race. I would describe my skin tone as light complexion.
I've read people people in philippines describe their skin tone as fair complexion, brown complexion, morena complexion.

how should I consider these skin tones compared to mine?

i think it is much darker than your skin tone...

[Komputer]

Why does it matter to u?
look deeper inside not the outside but
moreno/a is spanish word and means a little dark, ie brownish

[maynayz]

I think it matters because maybe he feels, as I do, that morena is sexy compared to his own which is probably boring to him and all too common.

To be honest, I am very brown. While staying in the barrio, I always under the sun and that makes me tan.

When I am back to work, I stayed in the office, and I become lighter.

Compare to white guy, filipina really has brown complexion in general. There are some who are fair because they put lightening lotion.

This is interesting because I think there are many people in the Philippines who would like to have lighter skin tone. While I was there and in the grocery store, I saw soap for sale that was supposed to lighten your skin! I am happy with the skin that God gave me, and also the hair that God gave me, even if it is turning grey to white. I still have a little color, but very little!

This is really funny, because my Dad had really white skin and really black curley hair! I have slightly darker skin than my Dad, a little of the American Indian coming out, I guess? My hair was a very dark brown, almost black, and it looked black. My mother's skin and hair color was almost exactly the same as mine!

i have tan complexion ever since i had my first child. when i was single i was brown like they callblack beauty. not boasting here but i got these they call smiling eyes. people know if im happy of sad or upset thru my eyes. so if i smile so do my eyes. so i got this kinda big hair when i was single coz cant afford hair rebond then. when i was going to meet my husband i was worried of myg looks. but alas when he saw me first he said "praise God hallelujah!" i was wondering what was wrong with him. then he said he was thankful that i am completely functional. as he said theres more beauty than talking online and seeing pictures. so, dont judge the book by its cover. black is beautiful and im proud of it.

I think, Red, that anyone should be proud of who they are and what they look like. If you are black, be happy that you are black. If you are brown be happy that you are brown. If you are white be happy that you are white. One person once who is no more Native American Indian than I am said that he hated every drop of white blood in his body. Well, he hated most of his blood, because he was mostly white!

I am brown, to be true. Being morena is darker than brown i think.
