One of the biggest mistakes in makeup I see, are people’s misuse of foundation and bronzer to make themselves look more tan. Honey, you are the color you are….be good with that, your color is beautiful. It is important to remember that your face and neck always should match. In this day in age of harmful rays of the sun, many women are no longer slaves to the sun, but still want to look tan or sun kissed in the face.
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.
