Tanning techniques.
James Read is one of the beauty industry’s top tan experts and according to the tanning connoisseur; the best way to apply to fake tan is to use a layering action. When using a spray tan, for best results you shoud build your tan up in gradual layers, in order to achieve such a look apply the tan to your body in a quick spritzing motion. This technique will allow the tanning formula to settle lightly on your skin.
Alternatively if you are using a crème, mousse or lotion product, glide it onto your skin rather than rubbing it into the surface, as this will have the effect of an uneven tan. If you require a darker tone then once the initial layer is dry, apply a second layer.
If you require any touch ups or an instant glow, opt for a bronzing powder. Avoid anything high in shimmer tones if you wish to achieve a natural look. For best results team a matte bronzer with an illuminator such as the Artificial Light Luminising Lotion from the make-up line Smashbox. This particular product is priced at £22 and is available from an array of beauty counters stocking the Smashbox line. For best results apply the illuminating product to your cheekbones and pat the formula up towards the temples. Finish by brushing a matte bronzer into the apples of your cheeks and blend up towards the temples. Lancôme do a great bronzing powder entitled Star Bronze Sensual Bronzing Powder SPF 10 priced at £31. You will look like you have just stepped off the plane.
