Well girls, I did it! I got airbrush tanning to get an idea of the look I want for my wedding and I am NOT dissapointed!!
(Background: my dress has a deep, deep back and regular beach tanning would leave nasty tan lines. If I did the tanning beds I'd have to work up to a base tan, then maintain that tan etc, etc so I just went with airbrushing)
I went to Brazil Bronze in SoHo and walked out 20 min later with a healthy glow and woke up this morning to a fabulous tan! It was just how I had envisioned it: strip down to your skivvies, get sprayed, dry off, then go home. I felt sticky at times, and wanted to jump in the shower, but I stuck to the post airbrushing instructions by the book (you shower 8-12 hours afterwards). When you shower you see a tint come off, but that's just what the technicians use to know where they're applying the product. After the tint comes off, that's when you REALLY see the tan!
I have my hair/makeup trial w Jenn & Oksana tomorrow and am thrilled this went well. Now they can use the right shades for my 'new' skin tone and the whole look can come together. Woo hoo!
Two big thumbs up for airbrush tanning!!

thats really awesome you had such a good experiance! I was so scared to go this route for my wedding day even though i thought about it because i was scared it would be all over the inside of my dress from all the dancing and sweating that a bride goes through that day. Make sure it doesnt streak or get onto your clothes, and just to be safe maybe put it to the test by hitting the treadmill for 30min?
huh, that DOES sound like a good idea! thanks, i'll give it a try!
