But surely you wear make-up several shades darker when on the ice than you would off it? One needs heavy make-up when skating (and I think some of the men I know would also look better with at least some!), rather like when on stage, or you just go to a blur..... I was talking about this with my coach, and he said "I hope you wear blusher, too!" as I am naturally rather pale.... the make-up base I use on-ice was one I bought by mistake and is several shades too dark for me normally.

I don't wear darker colors, but I wear brighter or deeper colors on my cheeks, eyes and lips. Certainly not darker base -- YIKES! Not to offend anyone, but as a self-professed cosmetics *freak* , I couldn't even fathom wearing a darker base than my skin tone, because then your face doesn't match your neck, and no matter how much you blend you will still have a line of demarcation between your face and neck.

No, the solution for me is to get the correct color tights. If I end up changing the color of my arms, then my face, then my neck, I will end up looking like a rainbow! LOL!!!

Me too! Me too! Those are my embarrassingly old ones (almost vintage!)

I must be a princess (as in Princess and the Pea fairy story) as I have definite trotters from dance, pointe work and skating (I wear quadra bond Harlicks) AND I'm always walking around barefoot ..... I find the convertibles SO uncomfortable, I wanted to like them, I really did!
