About this tone
What makes fair skin different?
Fair skin is defined by its lightness and its sensitivity to saturation. Too much colour overpowers it; too little washes it out. The distinction between warm fair (peachy, golden) and cool fair (pink, porcelain) determines whether you land in a spring, summer, or winter season — and the difference is significant.
