What to Wear to Compliment a Faux Glow

While I typically embrace the pale and enjoy my alabaster skin, I now also feel comfortable wearing a faux glow, courtesy of Beautisol. Beautisol Summer Glow
self-tanning lotion gives me a believable, natural looking tan, instead of making me look like I’ve been dipped in Doritos. So whether I want to have a tan or be porcelain, I can look my best.

However, one of the challenges that I find from having a faux glow, is deciding what makeup colors I can wear to flatter my tan. These are the eyeshadow colors that I feel best flatter a faux glow.
