Foundation for a tan

10 replies

I'm going on holiday at the end of the month for a week and a half - to the med. I normally wear a No.7 foundation in warm beige, but I'm wondering what to do when I get a tan (fingers crossed). I normally get a few freckles and my face goes a nice light tan. Skin isn't fantastic, so I could do with some light coverage. Any suggestions?

The no7 bb cream is my go to in the summer, light coverage to even me out and maybe some concealer !

I use my normal foundation and put bronzer over the top to suit the level of tan I've got

Body Shop sell some bronzing drops that you can add to foundation to darken the shade, they’ve been a game changer for me.

I just used a shade darker in my No 7 Hydraluminous which I already had

Couldn't find the No 7 BB cream so I bought a No 7 tinted moisturiser a shade darker than usual instead. I love it - not too dark, still got coverage.

Thanks all!

A no d when your tan fades you can mix the shades together to get the perfect shade for each day
