Help!! I am too white!!!

Has anyone ever done airbrushing tanning?

Or can recommend something for me..


I am very white..my dress is ivory and i dont want to blend in with the dress!!!


Only bad thing is, when i go tanning i just burn. I don't tan...

I was thinking about trying the aveeno tanning lotion that you can pick your setting..but don't want to waste 20 bucks for nothing!
Anyone ever use that!?

Help!!

I totally reccommend Brazil Bronze in Great Neck. I'm also super pale and I got it done last month and it came out looking super natural. Also it didn't rub off on my clothing at all. I got it done for a wedding I was in - it was a super hot day, sweated a lot, and nothing got on the light blue dress I was wearing. It is $50 - definitely worth it.

Did you turn like an orangey color at first?


My friend used to get it done and for a couple hours she would almost look orange to me..LOL

brazil bronze! There's one in great neck or in forest hills. i was impressed with how natural the tan was. Go for a trial first to make sure you like it but I definitely recommend it. If you go into my album you can look at my 2nd make up trial and see the tan but unfortunately I don't have a before and after

I think I've tried everything out there----spray tan, lotions etc!!
Spray in the salon is the best, very natural but may run on the clothing a little (esp white) And it can get pricey if you want to keep it up!
Dove and Jergens lotions are a bit mroe gradual, but if you're VERY pale, it can be organgy if you use too much, they're great over a base tan to extend your tan, but I can't use it on my face bc they're a bit to greasy. Mary Kay Sunless tanning lotion is the best one I've ever tried, and not orange at all.
So I recently tried a spray tan at home I bought from Sephora---it's Mystic Tan Spray--gives the most natural, brown tan at home! And I can use it on my face, it dries pretty quick! (But it may rub off just a little, I would def. try it WAY before wedding day!) So i'll shutup now, feel free to FM me with any questions or just to tell me to shutup!

Yes Brazil Bronze is great!!! I am pale as a ghost and on my wedding day I was so glad to have a 'tan' that looked natural!

i'm as pale as you can get, and definitely didn't blend into my ivory dress.

since my wedding was in the fall i didn't feel a real need to have a fake tan (even a natural looking fake tan)

Go to Sunplicity in Lindenhurst. She does awesome airbrushing. I have gotten it done several times in the past.. I highly recommend doing it 2 days prior to wedding. no streaks at all...

I was thinking the same thing also. When I was getting married..a good friend of mine also a great photographer told me NOT to go tanning. She said if your dress is Ivory.....do NOT tan. She was right. My pictures came out awesome and I stayed out of the sun the entire summer just so I wouldnt tan. Check out the pics in my review.
