Do or Don’t: Pale Skin

In the past, pale skin was considered beautiful. These days in the west tan skin has become very popular, it can give someone a glow, making them look healthy and make you look thinner. These days on the runways I have been seeing lots of pale skin, and I have seen lots of celebrities on the red carpet with pale skin too. What do you think about pale skin? Do or don’t? Prefer tan skin over pale skin?
Personally I am very fair, I used a little bit of self tanner for grad because I didn’t want to look washed out and paler in photos but I really like pale skin. Celebrities like Anne Hathaway and Nicole Kidman make me embrace my pale skin. It’s kind of old fashioned, but I like my pale complexion and it suits me.

I'd rather be pale than tan. Just embrace your natural colour

I live in Hawaii, and it's almost impossible to be pale. I'm proud to be tan, especially since my tan is real:)

I'm super pale too and I refuse to use tanner or bronzer for anything but contouring and even then I use a light color. I say embrace it!

I think it's a do, although some people just look scary with pale skin + no makeup ;x. Some people can really pull it off like Anne. Fair skin suits me more than tanned skin... well I have a yellow/pinkish undertone.
