Fashionable And Fun- How To Use Metallic Temporary Tattoos Properly

One of the easiest ways to play with your appearance is with make-up. While cosmetics can be fun to experiment with, you may decide that you want a more exaggerated look especially when you want to stand out in a crowd. Many people think that metallic temporary tattoos are just for young people or for when you want an extreme look but this is not the case. Here is what you need to know to add these fun accessories to any look.

One thing to think about first is your skin tone. Some metals look better on certain skin tones than they do on others. Some will also be more obvious on certain skin tones as well. For example, if you have lighter skin, a tattoo that is silver or a very light gold will be more subtle than one that is copper or dark gold.

Your look is going to also dictate the size of the tattoo that you are putting on. The thickness of the design and the size of it will influence how subtle it is. If you have an outfit that is very colorful or dramatic, you may want to add a tattoo that is more subtle. This will keep your look from being too outlandish or cartoon-like. Likewise, if your outfit is more monochromatic or it is more plain, you can add something which is much more visible and dramatic without unbalancing the way you look.

There are several different types of tattoos that can be applied on a temporary basis. Many people like the look of henna, which is a paste that is applied to the skin. The top cells are stained and the piece develops over time into a rich brown color. If you want a metallic look, you will need to either apply a decal to the skin or use metallic inks to paint on the surface of your skin.

If you find a piece that you really enjoy, you may want to make sure that your design will last as long as possible. You can prolong your look by making your skin ready to accept your design. Remove any dead skin cells that will flake off. Losing skin can cause parts of your design to wear off much more quickly than you would want.

Tattoos will usually come with application instructions. Take special note of how to prepare the backing paper and what part to apply to your skin. This can help ensure success when applying your piece and make it look as good as possible.

You can find these pieces in many different places. One of the best places to look is online. There are websites that are dedicated to temporary tattoos. They will likely have a wide selection of metallic options. You may be able to find sheets that have multiple designs on them. These can be a great value.

By taking the right steps in choosing and applying your tattoos you will end up with designs that look good. They will also last longer than you may realize. It is much easier than you realize to add a little shimmer and shine to your appearance.
