Can someone explain why Kim Fields skintone Lighter on Living Single than on FOL? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have noticed that when I see a episode of Facts of Life and Living Single, the skin complexion of Kim Fields is much different. On FOL, she is much darker than she is on Living Single. Has anyone else noticed this? On Living Single you can describe Kim Fields as Light Skin and on Facts Of Life you can described her as brown skin.

probably has something to do with make-up but yeah i've noticed that too.

It's the lighting and the makeup combined...Living Single probably had lights with more watage. And that can cause you to look lighter.

You know! Ive noticed that as well. Skin complexion seems to vary slightly through out the years. As Ive noticed anway. I do have friends who were born with very light skin pigmentation, but their complexion has darkened a bit through the years. But I have yet to know somebody whose complexion changes from darker to lighter. Well, other than Michael Jackson anway. But yes, I noticed that too.

It had to be something because she was like 3 shades lighter than she was on FOL.

Over time, your skin tone could change color. When I was younger, I had darker skin and hair color, and now I'm almost 18 and it's a hell of a lot lighter and I never used dyes for my hair. It's normal and happens to a lot of people so there's nothing wrong with Kim.

makeup maybe, who knows.

I can't speak for my skin tone because I've always been really pale. My hair darkened. I used to have light brown hair when I was a kid, but now it's really dark brown-reddish.

I am SO pale. My friend Eric in Cali called me "pigmentally challenged" lol
