What will happen if I do an overnight fake tan just after having my eyebrows threaded?

[Tilikum]

So I completely messed up my timings and I need to have my eyebrows threaded this evening, then do an overnight fake tan (Bondi Sands Dark Foam) afterwards.

All the advice says not to fake tan within 24 hours of having hair removal, but I don't want to look like a ghost for an important event tomorrow. It's a real Sophie's choice.

Will I get a huge orange strip across my eyebrows? Could it be covered with make up? Is there any way around this where I won't end up looking like a raccoon? Please advise.

I've done this loads of times, including the night before my weddings me it was fine. There's a small chance of skin irritation though so they will advise you not to - it's your call really.

Your head will swell up like a balloon and then explode and millions of spiders will run out of the holes where your eyebrows used to be. HTH.

Thanks @ellapaella you've set my mind at ease, I'm going to do it and hope for the best.

I've got the Raid standing by for my inevitable headsplosion @garthfunkel

Well?

Looks like I was right after all. Alas poor Tilikum

It'll be fine honestly!
I've done it so many times. Your skin goes a little red where you've had the threading done - just leave a couple of hours in between that and applying your fake tan.
Obviously I don't want you to do it if you're worried (and then knowing my luck something WILL happen) but all I can say is I've done it and not had issues. It's your call

Oops I read the wrong post! Ha ha I hope you're not right and poor Tilkum still has her head fully intact!

Thanks for your concern. I'm happy to report that I am alive and so are my eyebrows. My skin was a little red after the threading and I fake tanned 4 hours later. When I woke up in the morning it was all fine; no raccoon bandit eyes, no fake tan gathering in the holes where my eyebrow hairs used to be, 10/10 would recommend.

Phew
