But if you do not wish to get a tan then the best way is to avoid direct contact with the sunlight and apply a good sunscreen. Now even the sunscreen cannot stop tanning sometimes so it is best if you cover yourself while going out and do not wander under the sun unnecessarily.

Protect from sun-rays

One major difference between white and brown skin and warm and cool skin is the reaction to the exposure to sun. If one’s skin burns easily under the sun then he or she has a cool skin tone and if it rarely burns under sunlight then it is warm skin without a doubt.

Copper skin color comes in the category of warm skin tone and they do not get a sunburn at all in most cases. Now if your skin does not burn easily, it does not mean that you go out wandering in the light without applying the sunscreen. Sunscreen not only saves you from burns but it also protects the UVA and UVB rays to penetrate our skin, thus saving us from skin cancer.

Foundation:

First of all, you need to find a foundation that matches your complexion. Light shades are not suitable for those having darker complexions. In addition to this, buy only those foundations which match your undertones. Copper skins are warmer undertones mostly so look out for warm shades like peach, yellow, copper, bronze, etc. they will blend better on your skin.

One thing you might consider is that you need to buy products according to your skin type too. If you have oily skin then buying an oily or creamy foundation will create more mess on your face and kill the look. There are certain ways to know what type of skin you have, buy your foundation according to that. Follow the same method if you have a golden skin tone.

People with a copper undertone can have discoloration or different hues of tone on different parts of your face. For example, your nose area can have a lighter tone than the area on the cheeks or the jawline, so in this case, you need to buy two different shades of foundation and concealers that will blend to make your skin look like one shade.

The most important thing is to blend it properly and nicely with the help of a buff or sponge. Darker skins are tougher to blend so you need to be patient about that. Once your foundation is complete, you will be stunned to look at how amazing your copper skin is looking.

Eyeshades:

First of all, be diverse and creative while choosing your eye shadows. Your eyes would look mesmerizing in every color. An advice to you will be that you must not choose pale or whiter shades as they won’t appeal as much as the darker colors. It can give a drier look to the eyes as well. These also look good on ebony skin complexion.

You can choose bold, nude, or even dreamy shades. Do not hesitate to pick darker shades as they will glitter upon your dark skin just like a starry night. You can apply shades like dark purple, golden, bronze-brown, copper, nude peach or magenta.

Applying shimmer and glitters to the eye shadows would make it look more magical and you would feel like Princess Jasmine. Try finishing off with black or dark brown liners and mascara. The sharpened look would give you an Arabian touch.

Blushes and Lipsticks:

There is a blush called bronzer which looks perfect for people with copper skin. You can use another matte blush with it for a perfect blending. It will help your face define every tiny detail of your rich copper skin.

As for lipsticks, if you have applied a heavier shade on the eyes then is light on the lipstick to balance the makeover. If not, then make your lips the focal point and put on such a shade that will reach a new level of hotness. Use brown, beige, orange, peach, nude pink, copper brown or any other earthly shade which will fit perfectly according to your skin and don’t forget to end it up with a glossy lip gloss.
