  You need to be strategic about faking a tan with makeup. It's easy to make a mistake and look like you're just using the wrong shade of foundation. In fact, instead of reaching for foundation at all, grab a tinted moisturizer (like Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer) in a shade that's one to two notches darker than your skin. The sheer formula will give your skin a sunkissed glow without any harsh lines or the cake face look of a thick foundation formula.
• (#4) Grab A Kabuki Brush To Dust Bronzer All Over

  Kabuki makeup brushes were originally used by Japanese theatre actors to create flawless, full-coverage makeup looks, blended to perfection. Today, you can use a kabuki brush to give yourself a flawless fake tan! 

  Here's how to do it:

  1. Load your kabuki brush with bronzer and tap it to get rid of excess product.
  2. Swirl the brush on the back of your hand before you use it on your face (this step is crucial for avoiding a muddy, overdone look).
  3. Swirl the brush on your hairline, temples, cheekbones, chin, jawline, neck, and on the bridge of your nose. 
  4. Repeat as many times as you think necessary, but swirl it on the back of your hand before each application!

  You can get a kabuki brush for as little as $6 from beauty brand E.l.f. Cosmetics.
• (#7) Eat More Sweet Potatoes

  Okay, so this isn't technically a makeup tip, but it works! One study showed that carotenoid-rich vegetables (like sweet potatoes) can give skin a completely natural glow - one that's even perceived as 86% more attractive than an actual tan. Talk about beauty from the inside out!

  So how does it work? Vegetables with high levels of carotenoids increase the red and yellow tones in your skin to visibly brighten the complexion. Carrots, pumpkins, and butternut squash will have the same effect. Say hello to orange veggies and goodbye to the tanning bed.
• (#2) If Your Skin Is Pale, Go For Warm Blush Instead Of Bronzer

  Attention, pale-skinned beauts; the biggest mistake you can make is to try too hard. Brushing on a dark bronzer won't necessarily make you look tan. It can, however, make you look like you applied your makeup in the dark. Instead of bronzin' it up, try a warm blush, like a peachy shade from L'Oreal or a warm nude tone from Physician's Formula. They'll look so much more natural than dark bronzer!

  Even if you haven't laid out in the sun in ages, you can look like you just got back from an island vacation by mixing illuminator drops with your usual foundation or tinted moisturizer. Illuminator drops, like L'Oreal True Match Lumi Glow Amour Boosting Drops, are essentially liquid highlighters that you can wear alone or combine with other products to give your skin a subtle, lit-from-within glow. They're super necessary for sun-kissed skin!

  You're really craving a look that'll make Baywatch babes jealous? Swap out your matte setting spray for one that leaves behind a dewy finish. As it sets your makeup in place, the spray will create a luminous glow that looks way more natural than a product-heavy, matte face. NYX's Dewy Finish Makeup Setting Spray is perfect for this.
