NWR: need color!

i am going to a wedding on sat evening and althought it will be dark, i am still pale and i was wondering if i could make myself appear like i have a tan but without using those self tanners which i might screw up. are there any lotions that would give me some color just for that day??

Why dont you try the spray tanning? I heard a lot of good things about that

Re: NWR: need color!

i dont' want to mess it up and end up with streaks, it's my first attempt to try anything like this. i actually tried this nivea stuff i had with color in it but i don't see any difference, just some sparkles. maybe i just didn't have enough of it. people rave about the jergens one i wonder if any places still sell it.

I love the Jergens Natural Glow. If you are in Suffolk, Ulta by Smithhaven Mall had a ton last weekend (it is very gradual though and I use it daily to get a darker color, so you might only be a tad darker by this weekend!)

I am going to try the airbrush tanning in Uniondale called Le Donne Bronze.

What works great for me is the Jergens Naturally Smooth. It won't work right away, it takes a few days before you get color...but the great thing is there is no way for you to make a mistake. The color looks totally natural!

They had a big display of the Natural Glow stuff at the Target by Roosevelt Field the last time I was there!

I use the Jergens Natural glow and LOVE IT!!! It is really easy and so far no one has caught on that it is NOT real!! I even go my mom into using it!

Re: NWR: need color!

What about just dusting a bronzer on your face for the day? If you use the correct color you won't look as fake as some of the lotions. I use MAC bronzer which is fairly light for the daytime and if I'm going out at night I use a darker one by Benefit. Just be sure to dust some on your neck and chest area so blends well together!

Just saw the Natural Glow at Duane Reade at 40th & B'way. (And for some reason I bought it even though I gave it away last time because the smell was bothering me. I am so susceptible to suggestion that you guys made me buy it again!)

Re: NWR: need color!

For my wedding, I'd go to the tanning machine. Not good for you but you won't be doing it all the time. I used some of the self-tanners and they made me look yellow!

Re: NWR: need color!

Acutally the news had the spray tan on..You can't do it yourself but the results were amazing. It came in a little bronze bottle with a sprayer. I would check it out!!!
