Waking up with a naturally defined look? Yes, please! Using self-tanner to contour your face overnight can seriously simplify your morning makeup routine.
Here’s a step-by-step way to achieve that effortless glow while you sleep!
Step 1: Slip on a tanning mitt or glove to keep your hands stain-free. Add 1–2 pumps of your favorite self-tanner to the glove’s surface.
Step 2: Lightly dab a beauty sponge into the self-tanner, picking up a small amount. Start applying the product where you’d normally place bronzer—along your cheekbones, hairline, and jaw.
Step 3: Don’t skip the forehead! Adding a soft layer here brings warmth and subtle shape to the top of your face.
Step 4: Blend thoroughly. Work the product into your skin in circular motions, aiming for a natural, seamless finish.
Step 5: Add definition to your jawline by drawing a gentle line of tanner just above it, then blending down your neck for a smooth transition.
Step 6: Repeat on the other side of your face to keep everything symmetrical.
Step 7: To shape the nose, apply a thin line of tanner along both sides and blend softly.
Step 8: For a cute, lifted effect, dab a touch of tanner at the tip of your nose to mimic a button shape.
Once you’re happy with the contour, let the tanner develop for at least 1–2 hours for stronger results. Rinse off in the morning to reveal a softly sculpted face without any makeup!
This technique is a subtle yet effective way to enhance your features—perfect for those no-makeup makeup days! Let your natural glow do the talking.
