To not want to leave the house because I'm orange

..but also to be annoyed that other people are rude enough to pass comment in the first place.

I don't normally tan, the last time I had a spray tan before this one was over ten years ago. I'm not somebody that pampers myself or wears make up much.

I have gone Donald Trump orange (I wanted light-medium and this is anything but)

However I don't hate it.

My reluctance to venture outdoors is only because I know people are likely to take the piss out of me.

WWYD? Hibernate or style it out? Grin

If you’re happy with it, style it out!!
It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks

You don’t look that orange (other than your face)

OompaLumpaInTheHouse · 17/08/2020 11:36

I don't think the lighting does it justice. I'll post another when I'm decent, I've just showered off the guide colour Blush

Looks fine too me in that pic.

Sexnotgender · 17/08/2020 11:41

Go with it. I’m sure it’s fine.

Bodgedboxdye · 17/08/2020 12:04

That looks fine.

Honestly, I’ve gone out in some right fake tan fails, orange doesn’t even cut it. I bought an expensive fake tan, was told I wouldn’t go orange, I went orange, really orange. I just packed on some instant tan and off I went. My hands looked terrible though (seems to look worse on hands)

Just do your makeup and style it out. Bet you look good. (:

Disappointed in how normal you look. Was hoping for you to look like Ross from friends

Mrsjayy · 17/08/2020 12:23

I don't think it looks orange it looks glowy but hardly "shade of trump"

OompaLumpaInTheHouse · 17/08/2020 12:25

Ha well thank you for the reassurances, I figured AIBU would tell it how it is so if you lot thought I looked ridiculous then it'd be a foregone conclusion Wink

Was also hoping for this.

I'm afraid you're going to have to go tan some more and don't come back until you're a 5.

Porcupineinwaiting · 17/08/2020 12:30

Tbf if you were a Trump orange (you're not) it would be unreasonable to expect people not to point and snigger mention it.

Mrsjayy · 17/08/2020 12:33

Trump must have his own shade mixed like you do with Dulux paint because I've seen nobody that colour or is it panstick?

Julmust · 17/08/2020 12:38

It looks fine.

Newnamenewopenme · 17/08/2020 13:15

I don’t think that looks orange? I wouldn’t mind it and I have regular tans. Is it a case of you not being used to it?

I was going to ask if this was Ross!

You don’t look orange to me OP, and if it’s even then it’ll be fine.

A teaspoon of Bi carbonate of soda in a hot bath will get most of it off if your really not happy with the colour or just ignore the ones that say anything ! I think it looks nice but I've only ever had one spray tan and it was very light and wore off on holiday in a few days! (I don't tan naturally or like sitting in hot weather )
