sally hansen airbrush legs old vs. new version in light glow?

hopefault

Hi all,
I just wanted to ask some advice on this as I can't seem to find any answers online. I've never used Sally Hansen airbrush legs before, but I know a lot of people swear by it so I want to try it to sort out my pale blotchy/veiny legs for a wedding I'm going to soon. When I went to the pharmacy I saw two different cans of Light Glow - they looked almost identical except for on the label where it says "light glow" one was slightly paler and pinker and the other was more tan looking. From what I've been reading in reviews it seems like they recently changed the formula and that the new formula is not as good.
Does anyone know if the slight differences between the cans might mean that one is the older version and one is the newer one? there was no other colour differences on the cans so I don't think it was just that one was faded or printed badly.

or alternatively does anyone have any other suggestions for something to even out my skin tone on my legs etc? I want it to look as natural as possible as it's a daytime event and I'm realllllly pale (i.e. too pale for MAC foundation - my best colour match is Bobby Brown skin foundation in Alabaster)

Thanks!

try and get the old formula, new one has lots of glitter/sparkles..In all honesty i wouldnt really reccomend sally hansen as it made my legs look slightly prosthetic if that makes sense! I am really really pale and I use st moritz which you can get in penneys..works like a charm

Thanks ciarabarry. How do you tell if it's the old one or the new one? am I right in thinking the old one is the can with lighter shade on the label?
Thanks for the tip about the st moritz. I don't really want to fake tan though, just want to cover some bruises and blue veins.

ya i think the old one is lighter pretty sure the new one says new formula or something like that aswel

cool, I'll give it a go then. Hopefully the old one is still there when I go back!

i think theres different skirts in the picture on the front too. i could be wrong but as far as i can remember the older formula has a burberry skirt on the model and the newer one has a black skirt!
