Do not try and achieve this by buying a foundation 3 shades darker them your current skin tone. Walking around with a face that is 3 shades darker then your neck is not attractive. Now you look like you borrowed someone else’s head.

Ha!

Do not take bronzer and put it all over your face if your neck is not the color of the bronzer. If you want to take your foundation and bronzer and blend it all the way down your neck, that is a simple way of darkening the neck to match but it can be messy and get on your clothes and then if your body is tan. EEEK! What to do? Most important, match your foundation to your neck. We are slaves to the skin care, which means many women’s neck’s are darker then their faces. Receiving micro peels, laser’s, lighten products; a woman’s face maybe lighter than their neck. Women will put SPF on their face but not their necks, or will tan the body and not the face; all these woopsies can produce a lighter face than neck, result.

Matching your foundation correctly

• Never the hand (only test if your hand if it’s attached to your head).
• Never just the face. If you only color swatch your foundation on your face, it will only match your face.
• Do! Match the neck, it really doesn’t matter what color the face is. If you match your foundation with the neck you will never have a line of demarcation.
• Your bronzer and blush should be used only as accents to bring color back to the face and produce a sunny glow, simulating the color tones you have running through your chest and arms.
• Dust bronzer on forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. These areas naturally gain color fastest if you spent a day at the beach for example.
• Dusting these areas truly mimics a sunny glow and tanned effect, plus, you look like your head is on the right body.

Your foundation has one purpose and that is to even out and perfect the color of the skin on your face, creating a beautiful bare canvas within to work on. Remember Dolz, Foundation was not created to achieve a tanned look.

Have a happy day
