Spray Tan???

Michelle, on November 6, 2021 at 11:55 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 10
I’m pretty sure I know what y’alls answer will be but I thought I would ask anyway. I have gone back and forth on getting a spray tan before my wedding (which is this Friday). But time got away from me and I never had a trial and have never even had a spray tan before. There is a place my hair and makeup artist recommended to me and I completely trust that they are great but it seems risky without having tested it first.


I am very fair and mainly wanted something very light just to even out the blotchiness and redness on my arms. But I still want to look like me. I have never self tanned or anything so my concern is that even a light tan would be to dark and I wouldn’t look like myself. I guess I just feel pressured (thanks internet!) to look perfect for the big day and people have always commented that I need some color or a “glow”.
So do I risk it? If not, anyone have product recommendations for just evening out the blotchiness on my arms that won’t transfer onto my dress?
I attached some pictures to explain my concern better (not the best lighting though).Spray Tan??? 1Spray Tan??? 2

    You look absolutely gorgeous and flawless. “the internet” and it’s advertisers are only in it to make you feel lacking to spend $. Smiley smile in other countries including across Asia, brides are posting in chat rooms about how to achieve your fair skin tone for their big day. IMO way too risky to experiment with something new this close to the event.

    With your wedding being this weekend I wouldn’t risk it. My daughter did a trial a month before her wedding and was so happy she did because she hated it.

    Agree with this. I would honestly skip the tan because you look awesome the way you are. Many people, both male and female, look better without a spray tan than with one.

    Your natural skin tone is perfect! Avoid the spray tan!

    Don’t do it. I got a spray tan before going on vacation one time and it was way too dark for my skin.
    I looked ridiculous. Plus it will come off onto your white dress if done too close to your important debut.

    You look great without but I will be getting one myself. I've had them before though. All tanning places have a lightest option that is more of just a sun-kissed glow, they don't all look like oompa loompas Smiley smile

    I tan on a regular basis - mostly UV but I will occasionally get a spray tan for certain events. Upon talking to my photographer, she advised me to get a natural tan (UV) as opposed to a spray tan. She said that spray tans don't photograph well, that regardless of the lens used it always appears orange, especially if you're the only one in the photo that got the spray tan.

    You look absolutely stunning in your dress! I don't notice the blotchiness you mentioned, but I naturally have a very "red" face due to my very pink undertones. I use Hydropeptide's Soothing Serum to balance my face's coloration. I love it!
