What is the difference between porcelain skin and pasty skin?

*My_Oh_My*: What is the difference between porcelain skin and pasty skin?
I have very light skin and my friend said that I look good with it because my skin is porcelain, but she just looks pasty and pale. I thought that light skin was porcelain skin…I didn’t think there is a difference between the two. Is there?

pasty skin is like, well it kind of looks like paper. Its very dull and stuff just by the color. Porcelain skin on the other hand is fair skinned and tends to look softer.

pasty is like edward cullen, where as porcelain is more nicole kidman, kate blanchett (spell check), and if you’re in asia, the korean actors have such snow white skin but don’t look like their in a french renaissance play.
pasty also means that the skin tone isn’t all too evened out. going back to ms kidman or kate blanchett, their skin tone is evened out though they are almost like edward cullen’s aunts.

on youtube try looking at these tutorial, at least the first minute or so to give you a further example of what i mean.

hope this helps =)
