Beige. White. Taupe. Pale. And even translucent are all part of my winter forecast for the season’s latest “it” colours…for your skin, that is.

I know I’m not the only one with a complexion complex. In a bottle, on the beach, or in a bed, the fake bake has become a staple for the everyday woman and Hollywood heavyweights alike.

But recreating the Oompa-Loompa faces of Victoria Beckham or Donatella Versace? I’m over it. Tanorexics need not read forward.

It is officially time to release your perma-tan and go au naturel like porcelain beauties Dita Von Teese, Nicole Kidman and Marcia Cross.

Fellow light-skinned lady, Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts has just released a makeup collection to meet the needs of the fairest of them all. The UK popstar found that cosmetic counters weren’t offering any options to these ivory angels. So she created a product that would flatter even the whitest of skin tones. Dainty Doll collection for Jelly Pong Pong is a fresh new line that caters strictly to those with milky-makeup needs.

The line features foundation, concealer, cheekbone enhancer, eye shadow, and lip gloss each with a pale and flawless finish. The foundation had me instantly scrubbing off the last layers of my spray tan.As an added bonus, the price won?t have you turning red in the face. It retails for $13 - $25 AUD. Dainty Doll is obtainable online at www.jellypongpong.com.

So this winter, as the sun and warm weather fade away, accept that your tan will probably fade too. And try to value your newfound pale luminosity. I’m going to.

Dainty Doll Must Haves:

Foundation - The pale tones of this mouse with a matte finish keep light skin feeling luminous and moisturized. Available in Porcelain, Ivory and White $25.

Concealer - Thick, heavily pigmented concealer covers those imperfections and dark circles that accompany a lighter skin tone. Available in Fair and Natural $17.

Blush & Contour ? A soft blush and shadow enhancer to give you a touch of colour without looking too fierce. Available in Blossom and Bloom $21.
