    Be strategic when faking a tan with makeup. Mistake using the wrong foundation shade looks bad. Instead, grab a tinted moisturizer, like Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer, in a shade one to two notches darker than your skin.

    p o r c e l y n n e ☄ (@porcelynne_)Use warm blush instead of bronzer if your skin is pale.Jan 3, 2018 at 8:42pm PST/time>

    Pale-skinned people, avoid trying too hard. Brushing on dark bronzer does not make you tan. It makes you look like you applied makeup in the dark. Try a warm blush instead, like a peachy shade from L'Oreal or a warm nude tone from Physician's Formula. These look much more natural than dark bronzer.peachy shade from L'Orealor awarm nude tone from Physician's Formula. They look much more natural than dark bronzer!

    A face tan looks real only if you keep the glow past your jawline! Dust some bronzer on your collarbone and shoulders too; the sun hits those spots naturally. If bronzer feels too heavy, use a regular face powder one or two shades darker than your skin tone instead. You get a natural glow from head to toe.you can usea regular face powder that's one or two shades darker than your natural skin tone, instead.

    This isn't a makeup tip, but it works.One studyshowed that carotenoid-rich vegetables, like sweet potatoes, give skin a natural glow. This glow looks 86% more attractive than a real tan. This is beauty from the inside out!

    Vegetables with high carotenoid levels increase red and yellow tones in your skin, visibly brightening the complexion. Carrots, pumpkins, and butternut squash do the same. Embrace orange veggies and ditch the tanning bed.

    Make your makeup work for you! A warm lipstick shade will bronze your skin and boost a golden glow. Which shades should you pick? Nude, peach, or pink shades work. You can also make a strong statement with a bright coral lipstick likeToo Faced's Melted Long Wear Lipstick in Coral.

    Even without sun exposure, mix illuminator drops with your foundation or tinted moisturizer to look like you just returned from an island. Illuminator drops, likeL'Oreal True Match Lumi Glow Amour Boosting Drops, act as liquid highlighters. Wear them alone or mix them with other products to give your skin a subtle, lit-from-within glow. These drops are necessary for sun-kissed skin!

    Ask any makeup artist their favorite bronzer. You will hear aboutBenefit's Hoola. This soft, matte brown powder instantly gives the look of a healthy tan. It works on many pale to medium complexions. Want more proof? The Kardashian sisters always use the bronzer. Get some for yourself.
