how to tan your face

Tanning is something that has conquered the world and the Internet. Contour, highlight and much more. These are the makeup patterns that makeup addicts and YouTubers have been obsessed with for the last few years. You need to keep a few things in mind before you take your brush in hand, and that too, you need a brush that’s right for the job.

It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner in the field of makeup until you know the right tricks to get started. Before you jump into the tanning part, you need to have a full coverage of foundation and concealer in the desired places, especially under the eye area, for the tan to come off just right.

There are some easy steps you can use to achieve the perfect tanned look, which are as follows:

• Choice of Products:

Since your tanning product should be something you can comfortably apply and carry, you should first test whether you’re comfortable with powder or liquid. If you are happy with powder bronzer, then you can go for bareMinerals – The Skinny Dip Bronzer. Make sure you buy one that is two shades darker than your skin tone.

• Mix:

A good angled brush allows you to blend all of the product into your skin without a hitch. However, you should know that once you put the product on the brush, make sure to gently tap it on the powder palette to remove the excess. After applying it to the cheekbones, it should be blended upwards using a Kabuki brush or any other blending brush. Don’t leave harsh lines during the blending process to keep your tan looking natural.

• The correct method:

The chiseled look it gives your face depends solely on how you mix the product. Make sure to only place it on the line that starts from your cheekbone from the top of your ear to the outer corner of your mouth. Similarly, cast a shadow on your forehead, blending it into your hairline to make your forehead appear smaller and allow you to highlight the center of your head. Use very light strokes when you’re building product structure so you can blend it perfectly later with a flat-tipped brush.

The basic goal of a contoured or tanned look is to give the face a three-dimensional look, which makes the face look slimmer than ever so that its features stand out. Also, to contour according to your face shape, you need to determine your face shape first to know the high points of your face.
