Fire with powders: tanning makeup in 3 lessons
Principle # 1: carefully select its hue
Side powders bronzantes (products sometimes referred to as terracottas or land of suns), there is plenty of choice in the beauty of our shops and supermarkets. But all these references are not likely to marry harmoniously with our skin ...
The clear or very clear skins must avoid shades too sharp or dark at the risk of obtaining a result obviously artificial: exit orange, ochres, girls with diaphanous complexion prefer to bet on the transparency of pearly beige, iridescent or pink. Those with a matte complexion will be able to allow themselves more fantasy, for example chocolate, apricot, tangerine or copper versions. In general, the chosen color should be comparable to that of your skin when after a session of Sun tanning, ie one or two shades maximum above your usual skin tone.
If you want something light, you can also mix several different tones, one pulling the soft brown on the cheekbones, the other in the range of beige on the entire face. Some brands also offer pallets combining several colors of sun lands.
Principle 2: Use the right tools
As in cooking, the secret of good makeup lies in the equipment! So, opt for suitable material, in this case a very large brush, very flexible but not too dense, in natural hair. A little expensive to buy (around ten euros) but quickly profitable!
Principle # 3: Place the powder on strategic areas
Go to the concrete: the good gesture to begin this beauty is to impregnate the brush of powder, shake it to remove the excess and prevent the powder effect Sun tanning do not "mark", then apply it on the face.
At this stage, no need to search (the sun from) noon to two o'clock: if you want a natural rendering, you have to drop it exactly where the star is hitting, ie in small strokes on the forehead, nose, cheekbones and chin, forming a 3 on the left and an E on the right. Do not forget to go down with your brush in the neck; which will protect you from the mask effect. Finally, want to perfect your caramelized makeup trend? Swipe a little bit of your powder tanning in the hollows of the breasts: nothing like a push-up effect to fall!
