contouring techniques
step-by-step
AdvancedTanningMasterKate Camilleri offers us her step-by-step guide to achieving spray tan contouring success.
The way you performa 3D tan will differ between yourmale and female
clients.This tutorial concentrates on females. Start with a colour that suits the client’s skin tone and type, if needed mix this to suit her. For instance, if the client is elderly or pale they will suit a seven or eight percent tan with an eight, nine or ten percent to build up the contouring. If she is olive skinned you can use a 10 percent with 11 and 12 percent to contour.
Start with your HVLP gun and apply very light layers of the lightest shade. Don’t apply too much at once or the skin will become too wet.
Once the client has the tan on all her skin its time to contour. It’s best to use an airbrush compressor with a pen attachment for precision.You can do a 4D tan by using three shades or a 3D tan using just two.
Crazy Angel TakeMeHigher Tan Intensifier Drops are ideal for clients who want to create definition and contouring during their self tan.
Bodybuilders are renowned for their extraordinarily deepmahogany
tans.There is a big demand within the competitive bodybuilding field for therapists who can offer quality tanning services.With your added contouring skills you can enhance their physique even further, helping them compete.

Another sector that is notorious for their dark tans is the world of ballroomdancers. The reason they have such depth of tan is because the stage lights often drain themof their colour, so to combat this they go very
dark.The tan shows off theirmuscular physiques and accentuates the dancemoves, adding to their performance.

• If the client has stomach definition define these areas further with gentle sweeps on the airbrush pen,
•Again highlight the sides of the legs to further push themaway and lengthen and thin the legs down,
•On the back of the legs define the calfmuscles and create a curve under the bumcheeks,
•A stripe of tan down the spine and catching the love handles again on this side help to create a further defined and toned appearance,
