I was hoping to get a good fake tan done proffesionally for my senior ball because im like a milk bottle. I don't want to go in a sun bed cause they aren't suppose to be good for you. I could do it myself but I want it really good. How could I do this? Hmm you get spray or something done proffesionally? Plus anyone any idea about the cost. Thank you.

Milk bottle looking is not cool. It looks unhealthy and well, gross.
Getting it done professionally costs around 40 quid I think.
If you've never put it on yourself before, don't start with your senior ball. Trust me, I've seen far too many girls with streaky orange lines all over them 'cause they dunno what they're doing :razz:
I don't care what people say, applied fake tan looks unnatural and ugly.
Shouldn't make it sound as if one automatically get a face with shitloads of wrinkles, from just getting near a sunbed. It's connected to genes. And if you're inclined to have them, then yes a sunbed will only make matters worse - but it takes years.
not offended just thought you may appreciate the link
There are a few kinds of ways they can do it. If you want to get the sprayer where its like a machine that just goes up and down. then you turn around. then it sprays up and down and your done. ive always gone nekkid in those because i dont want any lines. I dont know if it will ruin your swim suit if you wear one. If you are going to go to a place where a person actually has a sprayer in hand and sprays your skin. You dont have to get in a swim suit if you dont want. Just get the parts that are going to show, tanned. My friend got it done and how they sprayed it and did "shadowing" type of thing and it gave the elusion she had a six pack. It looked good. Its not as if your required to wear a swim suit or get nekkid.
theres also skin cancer to worry about!
Personally i would never go on a sunbed! for me its fake tan all the way!
:yes: Better to be safe than sorry...
Yes. I'd rather see a really pale girl than a tangerine queen.
It's really not that helpful telling not to bother at all, but it's what you want to do, so you might as well take the good advice people are offering.
:yes:
It is for pikeys who can't apply it properly but otherwise you can get it to look decent.
I've tried loads and the best I've found is fake tan wipes that are £1.50 for a packet of about 40 from Wilkinsons! I'm naturally very pale so any fake tan that's too strong just look ridiculous, but these are fab! You wipe them over your legs and it gradually tans over 3 hours, then you can top it up as much as you like to get a darker tan. Don't let the fact that they are from Wilkinsons put you off as they're really good and don't go at all orangey!
No. It's seem to be yellow nowadays.
My legs dont tan very easily so I sometimes put some self tan on them. A nice one is the body shop light/medium self tan. I think it looks really natural. I used some the other day and you cant see the difference between that and my real tan.
Yeh give them a go :thumb:
