Light Skin 

Light skin is someone who has either a light brown or light olive skin complexion. Examples of light skin range in color. Those who are light brown like LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, Paula J Parker, Will Smith, Yara Shahidi, and Jada Pinkett Smith are all in the darkest shade of light skin but still are considered in the light skin because they are too light to be considered dark skin.

The lightest of the light skin would be the olive complexion. This is more towards those that are extremely light skin. Examples would be Rihanna, Lauren London, Tisha Campbell, Alicia Keys, and Jhene Aiko.
