Color Frauding 101

[happyfitandtan]

Coloring can change your entire archetype. Yes, bone structure is king, if your bones are cooked, handle that first. But too many people skip what’s easily in their control: color frauding. Why suffer with “low contrast” or “washed out” when you could look sharp, warm, alive?

Don’t waste time maxing out beta-carotene or eating red peppers for 3 months hoping your skin will “naturally glow.” Same goes for drinking beet juice for “natural blush.” Those are cope-tier strategies when tanner, blush, and whitening take 10 minutes and deliver 10x better results.

SKIN TONE & UNDERTONES

Warm golden skin >>>> dull, pale, or neutral-toned skin. It looks healthier, richer, and photographs better. That’s why every male celeb at a red carpet is spray tanned. You only notice bad tans. Good ones just look normal.

Self-Tanner:

• Start with a gradual tanning lotion to avoid patchiness.
• Once you learn your tone, graduate to mousse for deeper, richer color.
• Application takes practice. Use gloves. Buff it evenly.

Darker skin tones:

Yes—even Indian, Hispanic, and Black guys benefit. A custom spray tan can add golden warmth, evening out dull beige or ashiness and enhancing depth. You don’t want to look gray or dusty. You want to glow.

COLOR = LIFE


Skin looks alive when it has warmth and circulation. Pale and flat skin reads sickly. Fix this with strategic blush:

Blush Placement:

Apply a tiny amount of cream blush or tinted balm across the cheeks, bridge of nose, chin, and center of forehead.

• This mimics real blood flow—aka, health.
• You should look like you just got out of the sun or a light run.

EYE AREA = YOUR DOWNFALL

Too many so-called looksmaxxers walk around with visible eyebags and shadows. If your skin is great but your eyes look hollow, you’re sabotaging yourself.

Concealer:
Use a concealer that matches your skin tone, not lighter.

• Dab under the eyes only where the shadow sits.
• Blend well. If it’s visible, you did it wrong. Practice.

BROWS = INSTANT MASCULINITY

Brows are frame + dominance + age signaling. You can literally change your phenotype by adjusting your brows.

Brow Tips:

Dye your eyebrows to match your hair (or go slightly darker for more contrast).

• Use an eyebrow pencil sparingly to lower your brow position and thicken the tail. Focus on shaping slightly straighter and more horizontal to give a “hunter eye” vibe.
• Don’t overdo it. Blend. Subtle = effective.
• LASHES = DETAILING

Lash dyeing is talked about enough, but darker lashes make your eyes pop, especially in sunlight or flash photography. Skip mascara. Just dye them every few weeks to go from invisible to defined.

TEETH WHITENING = NO BRAINER
White teeth = clean, youthful, symmetrical. It’s free status.

How:

• Buy whitening strips with the highest % of hydrogen peroxide you can find (typically 10%+).
• Use daily for 10–14 days straight.
• After that, maintain weekly.
• Avoid staining foods during whitening.

That’s it. No dentist needed.

So.

• Color frauding is your fastest visible upgrade.
• Warm up your skin. Add life to your face. Remove dullness.
• Fix your eye area. Adjust your brows. Whiten your teeth.
• Practice until it’s invisible. No one should know you did anything—only that you look better.

You can do colouring with bb/cc cream, much easier, and faster application.
Valid opinions on teeth whitening and lash dyeing.
Yes, colouring is very important, totally agreed.

Didn't think about the eyebrow pencil, should use this for my sparse cowlick eyebrows
