A spray tan from a trained technician that uses organic sunless tanning solution leaves your skin looking sun kissed, fresh and young. Take advantage of your warm glow by using makeup that complements the gold and yellow undertones of your tan skin.
Follow the makeup tips below to perfect a radiant look that will leave everyone raving about your gorgeous skin.
1. Find the perfect shade foundation and concealer
Taking the time to find the ideal shade of foundation and concealer for your tan skin color is key. Use a concealer and foundation that complements the warm, yellow undertones in your tan skin. Make sure your concealer is only one shade lighter than the foundation shade that you choose. Blend the foundation and concealer completely and view it in different lighting to make sure it complements your skin tone.
2. Apply eye shadow in gold tones
Gold eye shadows highlight your tan skin and make your eyes shimmer. Bobbi Brown, Stila and Nars all have fantastic eye shadow palettes that feature different shades of gold, champagne and bronze. The best part of these palettes is that you can blend these colors together to create a unique color for your lids.
3. Line your lids with a black, brown or shimmery copper liner
Lining your eye lids gives your eyes definition and makes them pop. Black or brown eyeliner will definitely do the trick, but if you are feeling a little daring, try a shimmery copper eyeliner. The shimmer and rich color will give your eyes a gorgeous, distinct look. The warm color of the copper eyeliner looks fabulous against a “just off the beach” sunless tan.
4. Highlight with a basic bronzer and cool pink blush
Sweep a basic bronzer over your face, neck and chest to give your tan a little amp. Highlight your check bones with a cool pink blush, such as the sheer pink blush cream by Armani. The contrast of the light pink blush and tank skin creates a gorgeous dewy look.
5. Use a deep cherry, nude or light pink lip color
Deep cherry, nude and light pink lips all look beautiful on a tanned face. Whether it is a lipstick, lip stain or lip gloss, opt for one of these colors to really bring out the best in the color of the spray tan solution on your skin. Our recommendation is to use a deep cherry for fancier events or a night out on the town. Nude and light pink gloss are perfect for day time outfits
