Hey, don't worry about what people say. You don't need to change your skin colour to look good, people that pick on people have some personal issue of their own, so they take it out on other people. Don't worry about them. Just because you're dark it doesn't mean you're not good looking. There are heaps of beautiful dark-skinned women out there.
Besides, dark skinned people have so much more skin protection from the sun, and so stay younger looking for so much longer because of the high levels of melanin already in your skin. So when you're older, you'll still have a lovely smooth, wrinkle-free complexion!!! It doesn't matter what your skin tone is, be happy with how you look, and be proud of who you are! :) No need to be changing your skin tone. http://www.covergirl.com/queen/collection/index.jhtml Try this site, it has some great colour combinations and looks for people of darker complexion.
But if you really want to lighten your skin... (I don't know how much these work, because I haven't used them but..) From here - http://kpatra.com/homemadefacialrecipes.htm

Never take it to heart,people are always be ready to make fun of others.I think this is your original colour so you cannot become fairer but you can change your look means you can glow your skin.I have few home remidies you can try.
You always wash your face with cold water when you return back your home. Rub Tomato for 5mins on your face and leave it till it becomes dry and then wash it with cold water if you try this daily you may find the difference.
And you can also apply the malai(the layer which is formed on the top of the Milk) daily during your bed time rub this layer on your skin daily and wash it with bath powder,and even you can also apply almond powder.
I can give guarantee that you will definately find the difference.

People who make fun of people will always find something to pick on. If it's not your complexion, it would be something else. Small-minded people tease others for their own amusement.
If you are saying that you don't look good simply because you are dark, you probably need to seek counseling to help with self-esteem. Society perpetrates the idea that fair is "better" and dark is "bad." However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There is no healthy way to change your complexion. There are many ways of changing your self-image.

to make yourself look fair skinned i think theres only make up or bleaching your skin like micheal jackson..both become costly....and besides , dark skin is lovely so why change it , if people make fun of you because of it then either just ignore them or tell them that your proud of being dark , changing what you are is a horrible thing.

Dark is beautiful. Don't be ashame to be dark. I know some of perttiest people who are dark. Try matching colors that look good on your skin. Don't wear alot of black. Try calm colors.

its the opposite with me. i am WHITE and people are always teasing me. i know how you feel. once in a while its ok, but after a while, it just gets OLD. watch TLC shows like 10 years younger, what not to wear, etc. find someone who looks a little like you and follow the guidelines.

being dark is nice too. Look how many people go for sun tanning when you are naturally tan. True friends will not tease you so be happy with yourself.
