So it's summer, and my body is sooo much darker than my face. I've always done a good job of using moisturizer with sunscreen. Between my lighter face and even lighter foundation, my face look ridiculous compared to my body when I have make up on. I want to get a little darker make up, but need advice on what to look for, so I'm not putting too dark, or even orange foundation on my face.

You can use a darker pressed powder to make your face appear a little darker, but make sure to bring it down your neck as well. I would recommend Joue's Matte Moisture Tint in a darker shade to mix with another shade

Thank you. I did get a darker powder, but it still doesn't seem to help much.

Just bronze up your face with your bronzer or get a foundation shade that matches your body.

Go to a department store and they will match you to a foundation shade or try a few shades along your jaw to see which matches you the best but go out into natural light to see how it looks and ask for some samples. I usually go up two-three shades in my current foundation during the summer depending on how dark my tan gets.

Just find a foundation that matches your body. I also love using bronzer when my face is appearing too light and I can't access a darker foundation.
