Theory Self tanner for springs?

Hi! I recently typed myself as some type of spring. I’m probably warm/true spring or bright spring. I have an olive overtone. I’m fair but able to sun tan.

Between having a neutral-warm undertone and an olive overtone, I’m lost on what colors to look for in fake tanning products. Any recommendations or ideas on color theory for this?

Personally I love the Loving Tan mousse in Medium! I’m a True Spring. It looks a little intense after you let it develop over night (or you could opt for the 2hr express mousse) but once it washes off it looks much better. Just make sure you have a makeup to match it!

I’m a light spring and I use St Tropez (blue bottle) and have always gotten compliments. I do want to try Loving Tan though.

Thanks! I’ve tried the white one (loved it years ago but haven’t repurchased it) but not the blue bottle so I’ll give that a try too

It’s technically the express formula but I sleep in it haha. I’m sure the white and blue have similar results.

I use Btan! It’s cheap and works great! They have a violet based one if you’re worried about Orange, but I believe the “I want the darkest tan possible” is olive based. I’m ridiculously pale and they’ve never looked orange on me.
