    *agrees with bluey*

    I dont think anyone looks at fake tan and thinks "wow,nice tan". More like "nice fake tan there" i would think

    Depends on your skin type tbh but I find Lancome Flash Bronzer (the mousse) really good as the mousse is tinted so you know where it's being applied and no nasty surprises the next day when you realised you've missed half a limb or whatever!;)

    Use a sunbed or stay white... fake tan... as a guy i can honestly say that every time i see a girl with a fake tan my first impulse is to hold in laughter and my second is to be repulsed :D

    Not sure how many guys bother if any.

    I used to use fake tan on my legs but I don't bother anymore because it's too much effort and it smells!
    However I found that Lancome make the most natural looking tan. San Tropez is quite good but if you're really pale it goes too dark.
    Keep well away from No7 tan because it is actually bright orange and smells AWFUL!

    sometimes i put on st tropez just on my arms and shoulders..if going out. its the mousse so its dead easy to put on if you use a mit, have to be quick though as it dries fast.

    Top Image tan would be my favourite! It goes on really even and looks really natural. I think everyone is different though, you need to find a fake tan that suits your own skin tone! People who are naturally really pale shouldn't wear fake tan in my opinion.. it just doesn't look right! Plus, the pale look is all in these days!!!
    If your dark skinned anyway if you apply a fake tan that suits you and know how to apply it properly then nobody will know it's fake!!! :D

    Boots No7 Quick dry tinted lotion in medium to dark, when it is put on with a mitt noone except me knows it is fake. It doesn't smell bad either. It builds to whatever shade you want.

    And yes I work with guys, and no they can't tell the fake tan from the real thing.

    Agreed. The best fake tan is none at all.

    That bozo above me speaks the truth. It looks sh*te and stinks up the house.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 172 ✭✭uniquechic


    I wouldnt bother either but my face and neck are tanned and the rest of me isnt!so if i wear a top any bit low it looks like im wearing a mask!

    Try wearing tanned tights

    if your pale use the johnson & johnson tinted moisturoiser and build it up. Lancome flash bronze is good esp the leg gel and face gel


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,356 ✭✭✭Donegal Lass


    Hi Shi or bronze express are very good- have to use a mitt though coz they are of a watery consistancy!

    st tropez mousse ftw


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 169 ✭✭Lexie


    I find the Lancome Flash Bronzer (Mousse) the best. Really easy to put on and very natural looking!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 575 ✭✭✭Strokesfan


    I use St Tropez Mousse cos I'm quite fair and it's a great natural colour, only thing is after a few days it goes a little patchy if you don't exfoliate and reapply :) Best one I've used. My friend swears by the cheap instant wash off option of Rimmel sunshimmer for light skin

    I am with the no fake tan camp. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,820 ✭✭✭Femelade
