makeup-and-tanned Tin Make-up and a Spray Tan play together happily? – Yes they can !!!

If a client comes in for a spray session wearing full face makeup, and would like their face tanned, they should first remove all makeup products before being sprayed.  Go along some packages of individually wrapped make-up remover wipes on mitt for this purpose.  They are readily available from about drugstores, and on-line.

For the best tan results; It is also recommended to wipe the freshly cleansed pare with the Tampa Bay Tan CYA prep spray, to remove whatsoever last traces of makeup balance from the peel surface, which client may accept missed.

If a client would like to apply makeup immediately afterwards spray tanning they tin can exercise so, but nosotros suggest the following.

  • Look until the tan solution is dry to the bear on on the skin surface (normally nigh 5 minutes).
  • We recommend non applying a liquid makeup or foundation. Rather use a powder based foundation, a powder bronzer, or a dry out power merely, for face coverage.
  • Eye shadows, liners, mascara, blush and lip products can all be applied, but avoid moisture blushes or other moisture products on facial skin. This will prevent smearing or dilution of the facial tan. Lipsticks and glosses are okay to apply to lip area.
  • If the customer wants to utilise total face up makeup with liquid products, client should wait 20-lx minutes earlier applying makeup products. They can then apply primers, liquid foundations and chroma products, only employ lightly so as not to "over wet" or saturate the skin.

I personally prefer to use a makeup sponge to apply (i.e Beauty Blender or similar), this allows one to lightly "pat" makeup onto the skin, rather than "wiping". If customer wets the sponge with h2o, please wring out thoroughly to prevent backlog water transfer to the skin surface.  Face up tan colour could still lighten a scrap, depending on how long you wait before applying foundation (and how wet sponge it) but it is normally minimal if sponge is wrung out well.

Matching Facial Tan with Cosmetics:

If a Customer has difficulty adjusting facial foundation tones to a fresh vs a faded tan, these tips may help.

Buy facial foundation in two shades, your "untanned" pale shade and your darker "fresh tanned shade". Mix products together in your hand, to match your facial/neck shade, and adjust color as needed to match.

Or client may purchase a corrective bronzer powder, and lightly dust the darker powder on cheeks, forehead, nose span and tip of chin, to bring back a sun kissed glow, to more closely friction match neck and chest tan depth.   Don't apply heavily to the entire face, with a thick layer, or colour may look to "mask similar" . Rather focus on the face points as noted above, to provide a more natural multi-level finish.

A powder bronzer can likewise exist lightly dusted over a balm or sunscreen product, to provide color depth, if client is not wearing foundation. The lotion or sunscreen will provide a base for the browner colour to stick to.

Face Tan Fading:

The face up often will fade faster than the body. This is normal, as the facial skin turns over faster than body peel.

Your client tin can reapply fresh tanning products to their face up every few days to maintain a darker colour every bit needed. Yous tin can sell client a small bottle of tanning solution which they tin apply at habitation to the face with a large makeup castor or small make upwardly applicator pad or sponge.

Or they may purchase a DHA containing tan extender lotion to apply to the face to rebuild color. The Yume Tan Therepe production, or our U Tou Can Tan Droplets Spray or Whipped Mousse will all work well for this use.

Since the face does face faster, it may as well fade unevenly. Remind client to lightly exfoliate the face equally needed, to assist the tan to fade smoothly and evenly, and allow facial makeup to look fresh and even.

How Dark Should the Face up Be?

This is of course a personal preference of the client. And equally a technician, you lot tin provide your expert advise, based on what you feel works best in your location, with your blend of selection, and awarding technique.

As a Skin Stop expert, I personally feel that clients announced younger, more fresh faced and glowy, and less aged if the facial tan is slightly lighter than the torso tan. This is especially truthful with older clients, or those with less perfect, or less youthful peel.

Younger appearing firmer peel may be more than forgiving of a night or very dark facial tan.

A nighttime or very dark face up volition accentuate fine lines, droopy or sagging skin, night under eye circles, or sunken skin areas.

As skin ages, naturally, it tends to darken and slow, and this is an unconscious visual indication that a person is no longer youth full.

When spraying the face, I am careful non to overspray this surface area, blending face, neck and breast color down into the darker shoulders and body.

When UV tanning, the face up often tans lighter than the trunk, except for very dark skin types. Though color may be professionally augmented with photoshop adjustments or cosmetics for media images and appearances.

If trying to replicate a natural UV tan, a slightly lighter face up will often look very natural, for most Caucasian skin types. Especially for older clients.

If you prefer this approach, propose clients to match their facial foundation depth choices to the coloration of the neck. Non the color of the darker body. This will prevent an obvious make-up line. Foundation should be blended down under the jawline, then whatever mismatch is less credible.
