Achieving a Red Carpet-Ready Self Tan - Fake Bake

Is Your Spray Tan Red Carpet Approved?

When applying self-tanners, we've all been paranoid about waking up with a blotchy ankle or uneven appearance of the overall tan. The paranoia is especially heightened when getting ready for special occasions. Many of us prefer to have a nice, golden glow for red carpet events, weddings and galas where the cameras will be constantly flashing, so these are situations where our tans must be picture-perfect. For advice, we look to some of the most gorgeous self-tanned celebs.

So how exactly do our favorite celebrities stand on the red carpet so confidently, knowing their spray tan is not only flawless, but photographing as beautifully as it appears in person?

"The tone of a spray tan is everything. It could smell amazing, but if the tone is off, you might as well consider yourself a Dorito," says Fake Bake Brand Ambassador Tanya Pongrac, who has spray tanned some of Hollywood's finest ladies.

Fake Bake's high-end formula is said to be one of the best sunless tanning solutions on the market, surpassing competitors and leaving an award-winning finish every time.

"The true secret behind this foolproof formula is how it runs more yellow, giving off a golden hue versus the muddy, burnt look some other tanners can leave you with," says Pongrac. "I've never had the color appear artificial in any manner, even on the fairest skins."

When applying Fake Bake's Flawless formula, always concentrate on center focal areas the sun would naturally drench you in color, such as the shoulders, chest and cheekbones.

"If the tan photographs well, it will look even better in person. I've applied this formula to the lightest of skin tones under the harshest HD lighting and it mocks the color one would achieve from a weekend in Maui."

You can avoid some of the most common mishaps when applying spray tan - blotchy spots on the chest, streaks, uneven coloring - by only using high-quality products like Fake Bake and following the instructions carefully. Don't forget to exfoliate first and moisturize regularly after your tan has set!
