Fake tan problems

Does anyone else have the issue that the 1st day their tan is great but after that you have marks where your bra rubs it off and you end up with white stripes along your back or even occasionally where jeans sit along your waist.
How do celebrities ALWAYS have a perfect fake tan- it's bugged me forever. No matter which bra I wear I always end up with lines which look horrible.
Also I have maybe 3/4 days where the rest of me looks ok then a couple of days where it's starting to fade or patch so I need to scrub it off- do other people have that too? It takes a couple of days exfoliating before I'm ok to re tan is it the same for everyone, I know the pictures we see of stars are all photoshopped/airbrushed/make up artist on hand but the ones you see who say they use fake tan- how is it never not perfect?

I'm the same op but for me it's my feet. Shoes or sandals always rub the tan off

Celebs have their tan professionally applied and then probably have makeup applied and buffed into any patchy bits before they take to the red carpet. When I used to use fake tan there would generally be a dodgy patch somewhere. Life is much simpler without fake tan!

I find Bondi Sands mousse gives a nice colour & it doesn't go patchy when it wears off. I use the light medium & leave it on for 2 hrs.

Just bought my 2nd bottle of Bondi foam light/medium as last bottle used up and so happy with it. First time ever. I need to leave mine on 5 hours to get full development though (overnight usually). Their daily one is not as easy to apply as it runs down the body too fast.
