Secrets to land a gorgeous faux glow

You know better than to step into a tanning salon or lay out in the sun, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay pale as the winter’s snow. Here are a few secrets to getting a believable fake tan, without leaving your house.

Secret #1: Look for an all-in-one kit
We love Fake Bake for the deep hues their tanners leave, but also because they’re so darn easy to use. Everything you could possibly need to get serious color is in these smart kits.
Fake Bake Airbrush and Mousse, $30, fakebake.com

Secret #2: Invest in a major compact
If you snag an oversized, shimmery bronzer now you can use it to dust your shoulders for your spring dance and rock it on the beach come summer. This pretty formula is also water resistant (plus, um, how cute does it look?).

Secret #3: Snap up a custom color
Ya don’t have to be a celeb or millionaire to get a color that’s made just for y-o-u. Intuitive makeup reacts with your skin to produce a hue that’s perfect for your complexion.

Secret #4: Sometimes, blush is better
If you’re really fair, try a coral blush instead of bronzer. It’ll add a bit of pop to your face, without looking fake.

I have a tan and blonde hair and my arms are very hairy and they show up so much because the hair on my arms is light blonde and sticks out in different directions! Help me
please!




Hey girlie -- I'm not sure there is much you can do : \

I was experimenting with make up the other day and I found out if you don't want to use a bronzer just find an eyeshadow or powder foundation one shade darker that yours and mix it on the back of your hand with a light lotion it works just as well and is cheaper Smile

MOD MOD MOD Im super fair with tons and tons of freckles. I dont tan but my legs are splotchy and sometimes look blue from my veins. What products do u suggest that won't make it obvious that my tan is fake.

 

 

Hey chickadee! You could always use tinted Jergens lotion for fair skin... it'll give you a natural tan that will develop over a few days. And, it won't be drastic Smile

But what if idont like golf? My whole family, cousins, and friends play sport. My dad basically said I'm a failure if I don't play a sport! What if I suck at golf?? What if I never et better? What if I don't make the team?




Hey love -- first things first, relax! If you don't like golf you can explain to your parents that you have at least given it a try, but it doesn't interest you. They have had to try sports that they didn't like -- use that as an example. Tell your dad that while you don't like golf, you'd like to try something else that accommodates your injury. Go in with a level and positive head -- I never said I was good at golf, I just like smacking the ball around  And practice makes perfect -- you just have to believe you'll have a good time -- trust me, the mind is a powerful thing  Stop worrying girlie!

I'm a 14 year old freshman. I don't really like sports...at all. I'm fit because I work out. Also, I'm involved in a lot of non sport stuff. Also I had foot surgery which means I can't put pressure on my foot a lot. My parents insist I play a sport though!!! They want me to do golf! Blech (my opinion). I'm starting private lessons soon (btw I suck at golf) because they want me to play fall if sophomore year. That only give me 4-5 months till Tryouts!!!! Advice???




Hey love! Golf actually isn't pretty bad -- I thought the idea was absurd when my Aunt suggested it and took my sister and I to the driving range. We ended up having so much fun seeing who had the better stroke, we stayed longer than intended  Nonetheless, you should give the driving range a try, to see if it'll peak your interest. That way you can improve your game and find out if it's something you actually like.

ok:
so last year, ther was this guy i rly liked, adam. he moved away this year, + is coming bak next year. i was sad, but then i fell 4 his bff, jake. it was ok, and my bff, anna told me that she IM'd adam and he sed he rly rly likes me. so, then my OTHER friend, jojo, were not so close, sed that jake RLY likes me + adam im'd her too, and sed he liked me. i found out that jojo rly rly rly rly likes adam, and she was heartbroken wen she found out he liked me. and anna told me i shud go for adam next year, cuz i RLY like him + he likes me, but i also rly RLY like jake. so, how can i help jojo find someone that likes her bak, cuz i feel kinda bad for "stealing" her crush, even tho it wasnt on purpose! also, do u think jake likes me? he flirts w/ me + talks 2 me in class, steals my stuff playfully and lafs @ my jokes, and smiles, i caught him looking @ me twice. and, what shud i do? go for jake or adam? (i can see myself with both of them).
Thnx so much! xoxo

 

Hey girlie. Does Adam know that you are dating Jake? If he doesn't he might be upset that you are dating his best friend. But be honest with him and follow your heart when deciding who you want to be with!
