Fake Tan advice

[Muncher]

I'm going to a 30th birthday murder mystery party on saturday, my character is "Lionel Big" an antiques dealer, so I need a costume for this character...

I've decided on David Dickinson from bargain hunt :D Cheap as chips ;) I have got most of the bits sorted but seen some fake tan for that authentic look. The problem being straight afterwards I am going to my university summer ball so I don't want to look like Tango man for that!

Any idea what I should use, or should I go down to Tan-tastic for a top up?

cuprinol light? they do an excellent shade of 'essex peach'.

Don't use fake tan, it goes streaky unless you exfoliate and moisturise.

A dark foundation should work well enough.

My advice? Use as much as you can. Don't worry, it'll come off in seconds.

I am going to the ball as soon as the party is finished, probably time for a shower though.

Use Dulux vinyl emulsion....

It'll flake off easily......

And don't worry about washing your hands afterwards.

Boots sell a spray on tan that will do the job, white to orange within seconds. I used it on Mr C G when he wanted that perma-tan for a fancy dress party. The spray on stuff combined with making his eyebrows darker with an eyeliner pencil worked a treat. You WILL need to take a shower or use lots of soap and water to remove it though, but it is wash off job, not one that will leave you Tango'd for the next week or so!

Yes, I wondered as I read this post how many people were setting him up for a lifetime of orange

Step away from the fake tan.

If you use black Waxoyl, it will also help prevent unwanted oxidation.

I hope this helps.

go to Boots and try them out.

Ask Robert Kilroy Silk! He knows all about fake tans!

Rimmel do a wash off fake tan for legs. I don't see why you can't use it on your face too. Don't go out in the rain though, coz it WILL run.
