Why Do Different Lights Make You Look Different?
Yea why do they?
Like a bathroom light makes you look normal, but when you go in a bright white room, everything on your body and face looks distorted, especially at nighttime..
My mind must be playing tricks <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

intensity of the light i guess... bathroom lights tend to be much softer... but then school lights are much brighter and make you look ugly.
i hate it when i fix myself in the morning before school thinking i look hot and then i look at the mirror at school and i'm like, "NOOO!!!! I'M ... I'M .... UUUUUGLY!!!!"
well not that bad but ya know...
I uhhh......doubt it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
What I mean is that different lights emit a different range of colors. Sunlight, of course, shows the full color spectrum whereas incandescent and fluorescent lights do not. In other words, you're not seeing all the colors of your face in the bathroom while trying to make yourself beautiful ^_^.
I thought light was the same, like the same thing, energy, but now I remember that there is a thing called the light spectrum and that different types of light have different wavelengths...
But anways, on with the topic...
With fluorescent lights, the gas contained within the tube has very specific frequencies that it can produce from the electrons jumping down an orbital or few, with an atom that can be energized to 1 higher state there would be 1 possible frequency, 2 higher states could yield 3 frequencies, 3 gives 6. A good model would be how many ways you can walk (fall) down a set of steps. Depending on how far you go down, more energy is released and the wave has a higher frequency.
The wavelengths of EM radaition produced within the fluorescent tubes that are not ordinarily visible (UV) are "recycled" by decreasing their energy. Upon hitting the phosphoric coating (which is why the tubes are only translucent and not transparent) they energize the phosphorus atoms which in-turn reradiate their radaition as a visible, useful wave. Without the coating (or a different one) you would get toasted.
But I don't know why your face gets "distorted" in bright light. Is your mirror broken? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> Your skin may look different depending on lighting conditions, like what BlaqWolf said. Color variations might become more pronounced due to the specificity of the wavelengths in floros, they also lack the "warmth" that is generated by the much more inefficent yet effective metal filament so you might look a bit uglier... It might have something to do with that, however I have never seen this effect so I don't really know what the conditions are.

You too freakin smart!

Oh I think you are..
lets not start it.
The thing I hate about white lights, there so dam|\| bright. My eyes are really sensitive to light, and our school doesn't have any windows, it is literally a bombshelter, even looks like one.
But yea, more opinions for the better
No, it's not a copy-paste, I typed that all out from my memory of chemistry class a few months ago. Gotta use that knowledge somewhere or it just dies <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Then I go outside and my nose looks really red and all I get are jokes about how freakin white I am.
*feels sad*
