No one take offense to this please. All of these women have beautiful and clear skin and all of the women on this chart are beautiful! I just made this so it would be easier for some to reference or describe their skin color/tone and what their goal is. (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 what I see in the picture.)

I went from between a Dark 2/ Dark 3 to a Medium Light (1). Some days when I don't use anything for like a week I fall back into a Medium Dark (4). My original goal was actually to get to a Medium Dark (2)... But I guess I just kept liking the results. I think Now my final goal will be a Medium Light (3)... I used mostly movate and fashion fair creams to get me to my desired complexions. But I'm now using the natural lightening method and I use Christaline. Which I LOVE.

Feel free to share your complexion and your complexion goals. Please don't take offense. This was not made to insult or hurt anyone's feelings.

Is that you in your profile picture?

Ok Brown deciet which Movate did you use (is it the one with an E on it in a pink & green tube) and which creams from fashion fair?

Brown Deceit.. if that is you in your profile... you could pass off for an Indian girl.. and beautiful too !

^Why would she want to "pass" for an Indian girl? What in the hell is wrong with being "Black" or "African-American"?

As human beings, we all want what we generally can't have naturally. You'll see light to medium skinned Indian girls wanting a fairer and more Caucasian skin tone; goes for darker skinned Hispanics and Latinos as well. Of course, White Caucasian girls love tans, and lust after the one present in Latinos and Hispanics.

This doesn't go for everyone obviously; some people are happy or don't care about the skin tone they have.

Oh, might I add, I have nothing against people who are interested in lighter skin. If it makes you look better, than it's all for the best, right?

Hmmm,, nice work,, Browndeceit

You are so beautiful by the way

Is that you in the Av because if so you are really pretty and I so like the way your tone is even. My problem is trying to get my arms to lighten. I tan easily and this summer has really gotten me to the point to where I feel I have to start over from the beginning :(

Thanks Brown Deceit for this chart, I find it very beneficial. I agree from looking at your avatar your complexion has lightened to a Medium Light (3), job well done and it looks very natural!

I would say that I'm at a medium light (1) or medium dark (4). My goal is to reach and maintain to a light (3) or light (4) complexion... well, light (3) would be more ideal.

That's not her in her avitar it's a singer

I never said it was me. And that is definitely not a singer. That's a film producer. Anyway just wanted to update you all on my progress. I'm going to slow down on the Christaline and keep up with the ambi soap. I don't want to over do it too much at once. Though it's natural, too much of one thing can never be good right? PM me for before and after pictures. I'm not comfortable with posting for the public.

Browndeceit Good to hear it worked for you, is that you in that picture?.

I am now using Clairissime lightening body milk and naturessence Swiss Collagen Fade Cream...
Any experience with these creams?

No that's not me. And no I haven't tried those. I try to steer clear of body milks. They don't do much for me... Well sometimes they are good for moisturizing. But as far as lightening. Nothing. And I've never heard of the collagen one either.

Wow. That would be awesome if you made it all the way up to the light (4). What was your original color? What's the main product that you use/used to get you to your point?

My original color is like the medium light (1) and medium dark (4), as I have redarkened now. But my new regimine I am hoping will work within a few weeks, so my fingers are crossed. The lightest I had been was with makari, and I say I was around a medium light (3) and light (1) until I stopped.

Love this chart I think when I update on my progress I will use this as a visual reference.

Mya is WAYYYYYYYY lighter than beyonce , she should be the lightest on the chart because beyonce is naturally darker, I don't understand why so many blk people consider beyonce to be light, she has always been medium brown/ borderline light brown... BUT MYA IS DEFINITELY LIGHTER, the chart should be corrected

Omg keri hilson isn't light either, but I guess you are trying to differentiate the different colors b/t blk folks... but beyonce is not the lightest

Maybe their just going by those pics because there are a couple of celebrities in the wrong places but not according to those pics.

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:

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. http://img.youtube.com/vi/Jtb6WFnXpcA/0.jpg

I want to be this color http://farm1.static.flickr.com/58/23...c5966a8de3.jpg
