Allow to dry before applying your makeup or sleeping and the face mist will develop over 8hours when you can then rinse your face.

It applied beautifully, lasted a good 3 washes and then washed off easily with no tan remover or scrubbing. 2 thumbs up. I really liked the lotion and would buy it again. Bare by Vogue: Dark Foam Price & Size This is where the foam seriously impressed me. I got a good week out of it and when it was time to wash it off, it came away easily with an exfoliating glove. I didn’t even have to use a tan remover. Bare by Vogue: Dark Instant Tan Price & Size Colour: I much prefer a red undertone in a tan rather than olive. I find it better suits my pale Irish skin and looks much more realistic! Allow ample time for tan to dry before putting on clothes. For foam and lotion tan - allow 4-8 hours for tan to fully develop.The Dark Foam definitely has a red undertone rather than green (which is my preference) and so I find it looks quiet realistic! It’s truly dark but not too dark, it still looks natural. Lasting Power & Wear Off It literally doesn’t matter what tan you buy, if you have not prepared your skin properly, it will not be nice.

Bare by Vogue: Dark Lotion Price & Size Top Tip - typically there is no requirement to blend this into the skin but we tend to apply our mist and then blend a little with a soft makeup brush to ensure even coverage ) Using a tanning mitt, apply your choice of Bare tan (foam, instant, lotion) evenly across the surface of your skin The Bare by Vogue Dark Foam formula is as close to perfect as a mousse tan can get. It smells tropical, like the whole range, but it does develop a tan like smell after a while (not too bad at all though!).

Recommended for light to medium skin tones or first-time self-tanners for a warm, subtle healthy glow. I chose the ‘dark’ colour as most fake tans are too light to have any noticeable effect on my skin. It was easy to use – I applied it to freshly cleansed, exfoliated and toned skin in the morning after my workout. It smelled pleasant and fruit and I was surprised that it appeared to be colourless! Over the course of the next few hours there was a slightly ‘biscuity’ aroma, similar to the fake tans I used in my teens although not nearly as overwhelming. ‘Essence of digestive’ as opposed to ‘twice-baked digestive,’ y’know? BARE EXPERT TIP: Apply the luxurious foam evenly, using a tanning mitt in circular motions. Use the residue for drier areas such as hands, elbows, and feet.It is a lovely instant tan overall but I would have liked it darker (it was VERY natural looking) and I wouldn’t pay €18 for it again over the likes of the Rimmel Sun Shimmer BB Tan (my favourite instant tan). Rimmel even do a waterproof Sun Shimmer now and it is a fraction of the price at about €8. I hope you found this helpful! Before you go, tell me, what is your favourite tan right now? You can read about some of my faves (and not so faves) here. I didn’t find the Dark Instant to be truly Dark whether judging it as a stand alone product, or comparing it to the lotion and the mousse; it was definitely a lot lighter than anticipated. If you like a medium tan, I recommend going for the Dark Instant Tan. If you like it dark, I would go for the Ultra Dark Instant. Application

I rarely use fake tan as I'm mixed-race and so my skin tans very easily when I’m out in the sun. However, being aware of the dangers of too much skin exposure, premature ageing and skin cancer, I’ve been much more cautious in recent years – always wearing a hat and facial SPF every day. Naturally, as a result, my face has been more pale and I’ve looked to achieve that ‘sun kissed’ look with make-up and bronzer.' Our rich self- tanning foam contains organic botanicals Goji Berry, Oatmeal, Chamomile, Pomegranate, and Grapefruit which not only help to promote overall skin health but also promote a perfect long-lasting sunless tan. The formula is a nice, creamy one. It’s not as buttery as the Dripping Gold lotion but that’s extra buttery in fairness. The scent is beautiful, very tropical but like all tans (all I’ve tried anyway!), it does develop a tan smell after a couple of hours (not strong). Application: The tan must be easy to apply, not only because of the effort, but if it doesn’t blend easily… it will streak!

Let me start by saying that tan is like skincare, what might suit my skin, may not suit yours (and vice versa)! So before you splash out on a tan, get more than one opinion! Even better, see does any of your pals have it in their drawer and try it out first! Tan Goals God knows I did not need to buy more tan but sure look, I went ahead anyway and bought the Bare by Vogue range… all in aid of the blog of course :p
