Ever wonder how those Victoria’s Secret models get those chiseled abs and long lean leg muscles? What’s their secret? Of course a clean diet and hours in the gym help, but the secret is body contouring. Body contouring with an organic spray tan allows a spray tan artist to shade and contour the muscle lines of the body. By shading and accentuating the natural muscle tone, it makes an individual appear more toned and in shape, think sexy obliques and six pack abs, sweeping thigh muscles along with defined shoulders and arms.
Ultimate Illusion
Contouring involves the application of darker color to certain areas of the body to create an optical illusion. Every client has different skin tones, so it’s imperative to select the right color to use on them. A client with yellow undertones would not get the same solution blend as a client with pink undertones. This is crucial, so that the dreaded “orange” effect does not happen. If the wrong color is selected, it will produce very unnatural results. Another thing to consider is the DHA percentage used. Solutions typically come in eight percent, 10 percent, 12 percent and 14 percent DHA. A natural porcelain skin client would be best off with an eight percent solution, whereas a client with olive skin tone could handle a 12 percent. If too high of a percentage is used, then the results will be very unnatural and clients will not like the results. Blending the right solution and picking the right DHA percentage are the two most important things to remember before you start to spray tan a client.
