If every morning, one takes care to repeat its beauty routine before going to the office, in summer, the task may prove more complicated. Indeed, some of our everyday products are simply no longer suited to tanned skin . So why not indulge in a bit of novelty to stay in sync with the beautiful season? Here are some tips to make up your tanned skin .

Never foundation on a tanned skin

It is almost an obvious fact: since we had taken care to choose the same color as our complexion , the tint of our foundation is no longer suitable when we have the tanned skin. Result? Our usual make-up foundation tarnishes the good-looking effect of tanned skin. Also, in summer it is better to leave it aside for the benefit of a tinted cream . Better than a BB cream that does everything and therefore does not really fit all skins, the tinted day cream illuminates the entire face. And in winter as in summer, it is thought to apply a neutral base below. If you are not a fan of the tinted cream, and our complexion is already rather well unified, we can apply a little compact powder on the face or just the corrector of complexion on our small skin defects.

Other make-up tool : the anti-dark circles . Especially as the sun tends to accentuate them. Attention, no question of using the same concealer in summer than the one used in the middle of January . We must have a special tan complexion, but the basic rule is always the same: it is chosen between one and two shades lighter than its complexion .

And to enhance the whole, sun powder is the # 1 ally of tanned skins . It smooths the skin and evenens the complexion. Unlike the winter when it is used only on the convex areas of the face , in summer, we sweep safely the entire face.

Copper-colored place on the eyelids

The warm colors, coppery and apricot , delight the bronzed eyelids . These golden hues reflect particularly well the sunlight. In summer, it is also the time to play with colored liner and kohl hues. Blue turquoise, sapphire, violine, we have the right to let go, provided of course not to abuse and above all, to assume originality. In summer, waterproof mascara and eye shadows with a creamy texture are favored: this gives a small wet effect to our eyes, particularly flattering for the eyes . Eye shadows with powder texture and heavier effect are best left out for winter. Similarly, one avoids the pastel colors on the eyes when one has the golden skin because they tend to turn gray. And if one is a fan of the smoky eyes , the blue rather than the too powerful black is better suited to the season and tanned skins.

Lips flashy and glossy to wake the skin tanned

In summer, we do not wear too much make- up . then, to decide with this bias and give a boost to our make up, we put everything on a flashy makeup of the lips . We forget the matte lipstick and we prefer creamy textures and glossy that really know how to highlight the golden skin. Likewise, dark colors are avoided in favor of flattering shades in summer: mango , mandarin , salmon ... the variants of coral and orange, work very well. It is also the time to be tempted by the gloss , easier to apply than the lipstick .
