Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs - what am I doing wrong?!

[MKCH]

Based on some comments on this forum I went and bought both the lotion and the spray of Airbrush Legs.

I got the lotion in Light and the spray in Light Glow (am pretty pale on my legs).

But all it seems to do it look like I've had an awful spray tan and gone orange!

It doesn't cover any blemishes or three veins etc, it just looks.... orange.

What am I doing wrong?! Do I need to mix it with moisturiser? But then surely the coverage won't be enough to cover blemishes?

Are you using too much? I use a small blob for all over calves and a small blob for thighs and then blend over my knees. I rub it in quite vigorously and quickly too and never moisturise first as it doesn’t set as well and goes streaky.
I just use my hands not a tanning mitt.

I wore it again yesterday (the dark one as I have olive skin) and my friends all asked for the Amazon link to buy some too because they loved the result on me (I also used it on my arms). It's easy to apply, stays on a dream, and the colour (on me) is fabulous. I love that stuff!
