I want to do a bikini beach photo shoot. I have a pale not-tan olive complexion, what colors are best to wear?

I live in LA and the sun is bright this summer. In the summer I usually wear bright colors, as I can tan deeply. But this year I am minimizing my exposure to sun and I don't want to get a fake tan. The photo shoot will be in natural light. I have light brown hair with natural highlights and hazel-green eyes. And a translucent/pale olive complexion - I will be using natural looking makeup. For the swimsuit: Black, brown and bright colors (my usuals) are defiantly too dominate for my complexion without a tan. I have no idea what color to shop for and no budget for a stylist. Would you recommend a grayed-coral / rosewood / gray-violet pallet, pastels, or something else to compliment a pale olive complexion?

1. um.mabey try red.
2. light yellowww
3. Well how er....pale..are you? I would go for a light color NO! white because it might make you look more glow-y it just makes me look dark and eHG!
4. try a light blue, red will make your skin look paler, so light blue will probably be your best bet, or try a pretty green color or spray on tan??
5. My friend has your exact skin/hair etc and she looks amazing is gold tones!! try earthy but vibrant colours like tans, bronzes and golds (very in this season) ! it will bring out your eyes and nice hair colour and wont make you looked washed out as your skin in pale. It will work well with your olive skin too and youll look as nice as the beach itself! Good Luck!!
