Pale or Tan!?!?
i do both im very very pale alabaster, but i fake tan for some looks just depends on the look May 16 08 07:02 am Link I do pale in the winter, tan in the summer, naturally in Buffalo. But switch it up! Take advantage of 2 possible looks  May 16 08 07:09 am Link I'd say pale, but that's just my opinion. Pale is pretty to me. And BTW, you're very pretty. And I'm pale, but that's because I think I look horrible with dark red hair and a tan. I can't help but get a bit darker in the summer, I'm one of those people that tans through SPF 70 sunscreen no matter what. But I prefer pale. May 16 08 07:12 am Link I'm naturally pale, I just burn rather than tan!  Some shoots I get asked to get fake tan for, others they prefer to keep me pale... It varies a lot.May 16 08 08:35 am Link pale. May 16 08 08:37 am Link It looks like the pale is winning out over the tan. You look good either way but being pale is so much better for your skin. You will show wrinkles faster by tanning all the time. You dont want to look like this:  May 16 08 09:01 am Link pale May 16 08 09:06 am Link I prefer natural, born-with-it skin. I've always been bothered by tans because they never seem to have that lovely milky-brown undertone, even sun-given ones seem orange-ish to me, and I hate that. May 16 08 11:02 am Link I love having a nice tan, but I hate knowing that it is damaging to my skin. I tan every once in awhile, just so I'm not translucent, and do a spray tan the day before a shoot. I use the mystic tan at Planet Beach...if done correctly, you won't be orange and it looks like a well-earned beach tan, with out the damaging your skin. It lasts about 4-6 days and washes off. So, in my opinion, stay paler and just use bronzing lotions or spray tanning before a shoot. May 16 08 12:58 pm Link i prefer the 2 extremes actually. really really super pale or super dark ebony. tan is alright but so common. May 16 08 01:01 pm Link Totally depends on the model. If I have brunet wearing light colored clothing, then a tan is appropriate. If I have a redheaded Irish girl, i just love that pale look. May 16 08 01:02 pm Link i am REALLY REALLY pale...and i like it that way. i dont like to fake bake...and i dont want my skin damaged by the sun or fake baking. edit: JEN!!! was that picture necessary...ew! lol May 16 08 01:03 pm Link PALE! You can be so much more versatile when you are pale, because if you were to shoot you in a swimsuit for a shoot, you can be spray-tanned, stay pale! NO FAKE BAKING. I hate it. May 16 08 01:04 pm Link who says pale is bad? in america, white skin is considered bad. in asia, its good. all depends. work it to your advantage. and dont do anything unhealthy (fake and bake)- its a simple color change in photoshop, btw- now youre tan. ~dw May 16 08 01:05 pm Link Thuy Anh wrote: I do, too. I love how dramatic Alek Wek looks for that reason, like polish ebony -- it's beautiful. May 16 08 01:14 pm Link I think both skintones add a nice diversity to your port. Just my opinion May 16 08 02:31 pm Link You look healthier and more vibrant with a tan. May 16 08 04:06 pm Link pale May 16 08 04:14 pm Link ...pale flesh is infinitly more beautiful... ...leather belongs on cows...  May 16 08 04:18 pm Link You're hawt either way. May 16 08 07:05 pm Link I know you didn't ask us, but as a makeup artist, I would rather work on your natural skin tone. :-) May 16 08 09:57 pm Link I'd Kill to be as naturally pale as you are. I'd go with pale. May 16 08 10:46 pm Link Pale May 16 08 10:48 pm Link Just like boobs, KEEP EM REAL! :-p May 16 08 10:49 pm Link i feel here on MM, it doesn't really matter which you are i prefer you with the pale look, jus' my opinion May 16 08 10:56 pm Link pale May 16 08 11:03 pm Link Pale!!! I have a very pale skin and photographers seems to like that! unless ur some beach/swimsuit calendar type of model))) And its healthier for ur skin May 16 08 11:04 pm Link pale pale pale. i wish i could have white skin :[ May 17 08 02:25 am Link pale May 17 08 03:12 am Link to be honest...i cant tell which is the tan and which is the pale picture...maybe its my screen? anywho...tans are overrated in my opinion...they do make people look more thin, but i prefer pale. i think its pretttty May 17 08 03:18 am Link Pale May 17 08 03:21 am Link OK,I'm a bit biased because I shot with you,but you can pull off either. However,IMO,you have an atribute that tan skin would limit,your amazing artwork on your body,which I think is one of the reasons you are so unique and are one of the most sought after models on this site(you are coming to Florida when?Lol). Pale skin brings out your tats.However,you can always use a spray on tan for a temporary tan(I'd be petrified to hit a tanning salon in risking your tats fading),or when we shot and only parts of your legs are showing,wear suntan pantyhose. May 17 08 12:44 pm Link May 17 08 12:48 pm Link Stay out of the sun. It is bad for you! You will be able to be a model alot longer as well! May 17 08 12:48 pm Link I have pale skin and it tends to get washed out in photos. I know people like the snow white skin but I think it is harder to photograph at times. May 17 08 12:49 pm Link I like working with natural skin the most. Naturally tan or pale, or what not. If your naturallly pretty pale from day to day activities and what not, let it be, i say, but whatever, my opinion doesnt mean much. May 17 08 12:52 pm Link Depends on the shot I want to achieve, but you have a great look and if tan is needed (photoshop) add May 17 08 12:54 pm Link depends on what your goals are.... look at most ads in the magazines, (mainstream magazines) then you decide for your self as to what to do and what direction you want to take take your modeling. best to you May 17 08 12:58 pm Link I liked both looks but honestly tan skin is hot, and I love having a tan in the summer. When I have a tan I get way more compliments and I do like the way I look in the photos. But there's no reason to tan all year long if you look great pale too! Just my opinion. Also, I think you may get more jobs now because you're more experienced, confident, and you have a nice port to prove it  P.S: if you were a redhead I'd say don't tan because I've noticed redheads don't tan too well ... also if your skin is sensitive maybe go for a real light tan and some tanning lotion? No reason to destroy your skin when you have many beautiful years ahead of you. May 17 08 01:06 pm Link if you naturally tan, than that's fine but there's nothing wrong with being pale :-P Us who are pale are just living in the wrong age. Back in the Victorian era being pale was deemed much more attractive because it meant you were rich enough that you didn't have to work out in the sun. Now it's the opposite. Being tan signifies that you have lots of money to spend on leisure time and that you're healthier. But my vote is for pale. May 17 08 01:07 pm Link |
