Mers of Color, I found Powermesh!

[PearlieMae]

Being a color other than the ones carried by JoAnns Fabrics, I found this on ebay today:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tropical-Tan-Nylon-Spandex-Mesh-Fabric-Power-Mesh-1y-Extra-Wide-FM-77-1y-/271850510315?hash=item3f4b8d97eb

And this:

wicked!

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Both very nice... How bout finding one for us yellow skinned mers?

[PearlieMae]

How yellow? I'm pretty yellow and the darker nude from JoAnns suits me...

Can you compare your skin color to something everyday so I can try and match it?

BUT I will see what I can find!
:mermaid kiss:

[SeaGlass Siren]

technically jaffa, we are "olive skinned" :P "yellow skin" is a term used by white people. i still get away with using "flesh toned" "nude" anything. (there really needs to be a correct way of saying it :| it's literally just pale...)

[Mermaid Jaffa]

But olives are green! I'm not green tinged! I'm no troll mermaid!!

[SeaGlass Siren]

hey i'm not the one who coined the term :P

[PearlieMae]

In New Jersey, olives are black!

I got the idea... ;) me, I'm 'coffee, light' with sallow overtones. Maybelline's "True Beige"

[Mermaid Jaffa]

I'm pale like raw chicken skin.

[PearlieMae]

This pale?

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Haha! Yes!

[PearlieMae]

You sexay thang! ;)

[Princess Pearl]

Normally, I am three shades north of bleached chalk. Right now, I am "peeling tomato"

[Madison MerFaerie]

Oooooh sign me up for that chocolatey brown! Nice find!

[Luna Dreamtide]

These skin tone descriptions made me laugh out loud! Thanks Jaffa, Princess Pearl and Pearlie Mae!
Im a weird skin tone too, very pale, lighter than most foundations and cool toned. Any ideas for that?

[Echidna]

I used to aspire to the "moonlight pale" asian beauty ideal, and I was really that pale while I led a nocturnal life :p
Nowadays, I swim a lot in the sun and am much darker.

But don't beat yourself up if you see the asian actresses all white as snow in every movie, because...it's all make-up.

Okay, I'm curious, what is the importance of having powermesh match your skintone? I thought this was used as a strengthening layer in silicone tails, so you won't see it anyway? Is it used for other things I haven't noticed?

Not saying that other colors aren't good to have. As one of those super pale girls, I've always been annoyed when things are available in "nude", and they look tan on me. Seriously, undergarment makers, I'm not that color when I'm nude. >_>

[PearlieMae]

I posted it for people who want to make nude tops or blended waistlines. I'm half Hawaiian and different shades all over my body! My arms are really dark, but my tum is light and my face is somewhere in between. To call something 'nude' is an offense (I think) to all of us that fall outside that medium beige, lighter and/or darker.

The "flesh" crayon in a Crayola box always mystified me. I never knew ANYONE that color.

Madison Juliette, I'm not buying any, I just wanted to provide the links for anyone who is! :D

Maybe Crayola had a psycho crayon-color-creator who was actually talking about flesh, as in "raw flesh", I don't know. That crayon was basically never the right color for ANYthing... Though it was was kind of like a salmon filet, so... yum, flesh?

Ew! Hahaha! Probably more 'shareholder' than 'psycho', but truthfully, that's redundant!

[Mermaid Wesley]

Cool! I'm white as heck so the regular """ nude""" colors work for me, but this would be great for MOC (mers of color?) they also make white white and black black, but I bought 'nude' because I wanted the option of a clear blended waist, (I decided against it) so I can only imagine.

You sexay thang! ;)

Lol! No no no! Due to my having been born legs first, I have all my veins on my legs on the surface of my skin. When I tan, the veins look bigger...

Hi, I got curious and poked in here, and your discussion about the complaints about "nude" anything reminded me of this, so I thought I'd share before I scamper off.

I'll stop disturbing things now.

I can never find that shade of nude that is just right. Its always too light like a ghost or too dark like a bad tan!

[SeaGlass Siren]

For me I'm like a freakin ghost so everything makes me look more tan. For real :| Even the lightest colour you can find that will look tan on me.

[PearlieMae]

I'm a weird in between color...and way different in the winter once my tan fades. Very yellow undertones.

That video was great! The struggle is real!

Glad I could help source this stuff...I'm sure if you drill down in the links some, you can find all sorts of shades.
