Picking the Right Self-Tanner Shade & Formula
Consider your skin tone, colour, and type, as well as the kind of product you desire before selecting a self-tanner. Are you feeling self-conscious because of skin imperfections and seeking a more balanced complexion that doesn't require too much effort?
While some may seem to effortlessly achieve that sun-kissed, beachy glow, the truth is, that replicating this look at home can be quite challenging. Pinpointing the right shade alone takes trial and error for even the most experienced beauty experts. You also need to take into account various formulas and finishes depending on your skin type. It's quite a bit to process, so let's dissect it.
Determining Your Skin's Undertones
Choosing the right self-tanner involves knowing your skin's undertones. Unsure where to start? Here's a simple hint: look at your veins. If they look slightly green, you have a warm undertone. If they appear blue or purple, your undertone is cool. If it's neither? You possess a neutral undertone or an undertone that is similar to your skin tone.
Helpful hint—your skin undertone can guide you in selecting gold or silver jewelry! Silver complements cool undertones perfectly, whereas gold harmonizes wonderfully with warm skin. (You can thank me later.)
Self-tanner Colour Matching Cheat Sheet
Here's a brief guide to aligning your self-tanner with your skin undertone. Remember, if you opt for a shade too dark, instead of achieving a beautiful glow, it might result in a unnatural appearance!
Warm undertone: Choose a bronzer with warm tones. These can include mocha, golden brown, or a hint of color like yellow or burgundy. Even with a warm choice, remember, it can appear airy and refreshing!
Cool Undertone: Opt for shades of beige, softer tans, or even a gentle peach. A touch of warmth can contribute to a sense of depth—just be sure not to overdo it! Visualize a light pink rose. Anything beyond a delicate rose shade and you're flirting with risk.
Neutral Undertone: Steer clear of excessively yellow or pink hues. Neutral undertones are famously difficult to match, but bronzers with a brown base usually achieve the best results.
Make sure your Self-Tanner shade aligns as closely as possible with your skin's undertones to give your skin a lively, natural glow. Selecting a warmer hue for skin with cool undertones, for instance, may result in an unnatural orange appearance. You might be aware, it's generally recommended to choose a bronzer that's one or two shades deeper than your actual skin tone.
