I'd post my eye color as well, but I don't even know what to call it. I think the proper term is "grey." Mar 16 12 05:18 pm Link While my hair is clearly red in tone, I'm not a 'redhead.' I rock a pretty awesome farmer's tan in the summer. Mar 16 12 05:51 pm Link I'm a redhead who cannot tan one bit! I'm extremely pale so I use a light spray tan before shoots because I think I look healthier. Then I always wonder if the photographer would have preferred if my skin was pale as I have heard that's part of the appeal of redheads is the alabaster skin lol. I just never know how to ask "do you want me to be pale or tan?" haha Apr 12 12 01:14 pm Link Yep, they sure do. My wife is a gorgeous redhead and she tans quite dark when she wants to. She's even got blue eyes to boot. Apr 12 12 01:43 pm Link https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27424746 I am more tan than this right now, same redhair. Natural. ; ) Apr 19 12 02:37 am Link My mom is a natural red head and she gets really tan easily. But she gets alot of freckles. Apr 19 12 07:26 pm Link Pale city b*tch, pale pale city b*tch Apr 20 12 01:42 pm Link I'm not a natural redhead... But I'm pale as all bloody hell Apr 20 12 01:57 pm Link Plenty of Afro-Carribeans with red hair, thanks to the Scots and the Vikings. I've seen it all. Black people with white hair. Albino people with red hair. Persians and Arabs with blue eyes. Venezeluans with electric green eyes. Aliens, all... I've seen it. Apr 20 12 02:09 pm Link Like most redheads I have 2 colors: white and lobster. I use Fake Bake for a spray tan and since I have no pigment for it to blend with it doesn't look fake. It looks so natural that when I use it people ask if I color my hair (as opposed to my skin). Apr 20 12 02:09 pm Link I CAN tan, but I choose not to because it will damage my skin. I am curious about spray ons, though. I just don't want to look like a carrot Apr 26 12 10:17 am Link Maybe not so tan...but definitely a redhead. Apr 26 12 09:29 pm Link I wish They call me Casper... Apr 27 12 04:01 pm Link Im a strberry blOnde and kinda tan May 07 12 03:13 pm Link Jun 20 13 02:03 pm Link I don't think it counts but my cousin is half black and a redhead and he "looks" tan but it's really just him being mixed.. XDD Jun 20 13 02:26 pm Link I like working with models who have fair skin. You can do a lot "right out of the box" (not "out of the box" as in thinking outside the box) since their skin tone contrasts with--pretty much everything. I like freckled models too, and I've found if you play with editing so their freckles are more pronounced, quite often their skin tone goes from pale to rather tan looking, depending on how many layers/color channels/etc you mess with. Jun 20 13 05:25 pm Link As a former red head, now a mix of white and silver, my experience is that as I got older I was able to get a faint tan. Maybe it's all my freckles joining up and fooling me. I used to work outdoors and spend a lot of my free time out as well. When I was younger I had lots of freckles and went red in the sun, then back to pale very quickly. As one of five red haired children in the family I'm the only one who get a colour of any kind, other than red. Skin damage is a major danger for red heads, so I'd imagine most will avoid the sun or use high factor sun protection. I've known a few red heads who tanned but with a lot of effort and care. More often, however, it was sprayed on. Jun 21 13 04:55 am Link |
