Best fake tan?

Sorry if not the right topic to post this under but I just want to know what is your favourite fake tan? What is the best one for ultra dark colour preferable olive toned?

I know a lot of people don’t agree with using tan and that’s fine. You do you. It’s better than sunbeds lol,

I’ve heard the new St Tropez one is good and I’ve asked for that for my birthday lol. I’m naturally ghostly pale so I’m rarely seen without fake tan.

My legs are almost transparent, but just a couple of applications of Dove tanning mousse & they look fabulously bronzed!! Looks really natural too. I used it because someone on here recommended it in the Style & Beauty section 😊

I love the vita Liberata gradual tanner

Yes St Tropez lovely, there's a darker version, I like the express mousse find it results in less mistakes. For face I like tan luxe drops

I really like the bondi sands tan - I used to use medium but I recently bought the dark one (not brave enough for ultra dark) and it gave a lovely non streaky tan!
People commented / asked me if I'd been on holiday but it does look nice and the smell isn't bad either
The only downside is it does transfer before being washed off - I left it on overnight rather than the 6hr guidance

St tropez express mousse

ImShivRoy · 27/06/2024 19:29

I've just tried Tandae, which is by an instagram influencer, and I'm actually really impressed by it. It's lasted longer than most and it wore off pretty evenly. I'm very fair, so I went for medium, and it was really natural.

My friends daughter who competes in ballroom and Latin dance competitions, swears by Mollie Mae tanning mousse.

Bondai sands and isle of paradise are my favourites! I'd probably lean more towards isle of paradise! On Amazon for around £14 Smile

This should be in Style and Beauty.

And it's worrying that you've posted yet another vacuous thread about your appearance.

TheShellBeach · 27/06/2024 21:53

What is the best one for ultra dark colour preferable olive toned?

Surely not. You've got blonde hair and naturally pale skin.

You'll look odd with an ultra dark tan.

HolyPeaches · 27/06/2024 22:17

I use “Loving Tan” mousse.

It’s a tad more pricey compared to St Tropez and Bondi Sands, but it’s the only fake tan I’ve found that doesn’t go patchy or ‘tiger bready’ it naturally fades off after a few showers.

FieldInWhichFucksAreGrownIsBarren · 27/06/2024 22:23

I use Bondi Sands, goes on lovely.

Ihatepineappleonpizza · 27/06/2024 22:25

Currently using bondi sands ultra dark. It’s lovely!
im also a pale blonde, but yeah, I do love a very dark tan.

oberst · 27/06/2024 22:26

Bondi sands but the fast one; leave it on for an hour! St tropez makes me itch unfortunately

NippyCrab · 27/06/2024 22:26

Coco and Eve is lovely and I am rubbish at tanning, this was really easy and lovely to apply, I rinsed off after 2 hours but you can leave it longer or overnight. Lasted ages and didn't go streaky x

Cloudyday91 · 27/06/2024 22:50

I’m incredibly pale and love a dark tan. St Tropez mousse is the best, but as it’s so pricey I mainly use Bondi Sands (Dark). You can buy it in Tescos, and both brands are usually on offer if you keep an eye out,

Nchanged89 · 27/06/2024 23:00

St Moritz, much cheaper dupe of St Tropez. Amazing product.

Waltdisnerd · 27/06/2024 23:36

Bondi sands definitely, I've tried loads

MummaMummaJumma · 28/06/2024 00:15

Agree with Molly Mae Filter - really good. Also a great Aus brand called EcobySonyaDriver. It does smell like ‘fake tan’, but I think they all do, even the ones that claim not to. I only use these for special occasions.

The buildable moisturiser tans have a far nicer smell. I usually use these daily.
