this is my first post here, I just wanted to share a life-hack I discovered.
coloring is one of if not the best softmax you can do. the majority of fixing your coloring is also very easy.
mediterraneans tend to get tan very quickly and while for other european phenotypes being tan might be a good thing to avoid looking pale, for mediterraneans it usually won’t be so.
@enchanted_elixir made a guide on how to improve your coloring, in which he concluded that the skin should be the lightest and the hair the darkest color of your face. I agree with him.
getting very tan can be detrimental for the coloring and contrast of a med, since the seperation between hair/skin and eyebrow/skin becomes less clear. this effect is amplified since most meds have dark colored eyes.
for this reason, it’s paramount that meds try to maintain their “pale” winter-look as much as possible. since meds generally don’t look pale anyways, looking too pale won’t occur as a problem.
look at the difference a slight tan makes:
delon’s coloring clearly looks better in the second photo, for the before-mentioned reasons. his coloring is also the ideal for any mediterranean, but since most don’t have colored eyes, just try to maintain the dark hair/light skin combo:
there is another downside for your coloring of being in the sun besides getting a darker skin: your hair gets lighter. this is the complete opposite of the look we want to achieve.
now that we’ve defined our goal and substantiated it, I will give my tips to achieve this coloring.
sunbathing is still a very healthy thing to do which I recommend to everybody. look the benefits up yourself.
how do we prevent, then, our coloring getting ruined: wear a cap!
this will protect your hair and skin from changing into a less desired color. this way, you’ll still reap the benefits of sunbathing, while preventing the bad side-effects.
the only downside of wearing a cap is your hair becomming a mess, but it’s summer: take a swim and your worries about your hairstyle are gone.
thank you for reading.
