How To Cover Tan Lines With Make-Up

So, you want to wear a strapless dress, but you don't know what to do about your unsightly tan lines? Fortunately for you, it's nothing a little make-up can't hide.

Step 1: Conceal

Cover the lighter skin with concealer, foundation or body make-up that is close in color to the tanned skin that you are trying to match, and make sure to blend the edges. A small, angled brush will make blending easier, but if you don't have one handy, just use your fingers. Remember, the thicker the make-up, the easier this will be.

Step 2: Bronze

Dust on a bronzer with a bit of shimmer to reflect light and blur the distinction of the line between the lighter skin and the tanned skin. A big, fluffy brush will give you the most natural look. If you want to go the extra mile, bronze the whole area around the covered tan line for a radiant finish.
