Tanning and changing the foundation?

Question

So every time i go swimming i get tanned, and my foundation becomes a lot lighter, my body would look bronze and nice, my face would look pasty white, but the problem is, I don't know how to chose a different foundation color, I either buy it too dark or too light, how do I know the right shade for me?

And do you know a foundation brand, that gives full coverage, and drys on the face so it doesn't feel oily or pasty, or smudges anything that I come in contact with... thanks.

Answer 1

Just buy one that looks like your face when you're darkest, and one that is at your lightest. Then mix the two together to create your shade. It's a lot cheaper this way too.

I wear the powder foundations. They're fantastic. But for more coverage, try the whipped mousse kinds. They're pretty light and airy still.

Answer 2

I had the same problem until I found the mineral powders...I haven't used foundation for 5 or 6 years.  I am 37 and get compliments on my complexion all the time now.  and it's easy to create the perfect color match!

Good luck!!
