Is there a “red/pink” based facial self tanner?

Each and every one of the face self tans I’ve used turn me a weird sallow yellow… kind of a jaundiced look! When I tanned naturally, years ago (no more!) I’d go quite pink then a nice light, flushed “tan” Now, the face tanners are all the same on me.

Any suggestions? Thank you!

Bumping 😊

Am going away next week and could do with not looking like I’ve been dug up!

I don't think so. I think they're all yellow based. They make me look awful as I'm naturally quite pink/cool toned.

You might have more luck with bronzer and tinted moisturiser where you can get darker shades that aren't so yellowish.

I use a reddish pink bronzer as I’m cool/pink/blue veins. Body tan looks fine. But something happens with the face that’s all wrong!

I find all the face fake tans drops mainly, I've tried make me look jaundice too, the only one that looks not to bad on me VITA liberate tanning mist in medium , I find some foundations look like it too , I now wonder if I am a cool tone skin and not the neutral I thought I am .

The trick is to apply a pink based blusher over a tan or bronzer, it makes it look different but in a good way!
