    This is why its important to please carefully read the post first as she had already stated this. The chart was for reference only of diverse color, excluding lighting, cameras, makeup, bleaching, etc.. Hence the statement made:

(I am also aware that some of these women may have used skin bleaching products or the lighting may make them look lighter than they actually are. But I'm just basing the chart off of what I see in the picture.)

    This chart is definitely good for reference. Thanks BrownDeceit.

    I'm new to this forum, but I've been lightening on and off for about a year. I'd say that my original skin tone was a Medium - Dark 1 and that I am currently, depending on whether I have a light day/dark day lol, between a medium dark 4 & medium light 1.

    In addition to lightening up to and maintaining a yellowish skin tone, (according to this chart, maybe Light 2?? ) I'm trying to rid my skin of hyperpigmentation.

    Ugh. I wish there was a perfect skin wand. Lol.
    Would make this process SO MUCH easier. (=

    I'm originally a medium dark 3.. ciara.. but with more yellow undertone... in the face only.. and I'm a light 3 on the rest of my body. SO I want to just lighten my face to a light 3. I just started using crystalline... yesterday.. its kind of sticky... I have the gel cream from 55H+ too.. but I don't know if I can wear all these layers.. maybe ill just use the crystalline only...

    Browndeceit.. what is your regiment? You just wash your face and use crystalline day and night?

    Sigh... I am some of ALL of those colors

    Face neck and torso- are BOTH Medium-light 3 AND light 3

    Arms- medium dark 1&3 (top of my arms are naturally darker than underneath my arms.

    Back, buttocks, back of thighs, knees &feet- Dark 3 and Medium dark 1

    Legs- medium dark 4

    I know it sounds weird, but it all fades into each other and looks normal, but I can put my arms up to my face and tell they are darker and my hands up to my legs and tell the difference. I just give up on my backside, back, and back of thighs lol!

    I would say I am overall her color, you see all the different colors! My cheast is a little lighter, but you get my drift.

    I want to be this color
