I think I will wear an olive shirt to get my make up done and maybe the makeup artist can help me look better in the color. I think probably only darker skin folks would look good in the color.

The last, and only time I used a spray on tan I found that it wears off unevenly, and was definitely too orangy. Of course, this was the over-the-counter, spray in a can kind of stuff. I'm sure it would be different if you had it done professionally.

Have you tried the lotion on your face? I have used spray and lotion on my legs and arms but not on my face.

It's a fall person's color - that's why it washes you out.

I see. I need to do one of those color things to see what I am. I know light colors like pink really look awful on me too. Hum, I'm just glad the color of the dress isn't pink. lol

Yes, and it works great. Jergens has both face and body tanning lotion. I've used the body lotion on my face before, but it gets pretty orangy pretty quick. I've learned to just stick with the face lotion.

I was not claiming you to be pale-just so you know. If it were I would do the spray on version, but not from the bottle. Those tend to come out orangish and not tanish. There are several options available out there. I live in AZ with Sun-a-plenty and there are TONS of fake bakes here. Spray tans are the quickest and easiest ways to look good.....word to the wise check throughly before choosing one. Some of them spray on and then wipe off. Meaning by the time you get home your clothing has the tan and you no longer do. Again word to the wise

Okay Thanks. I'm going to get some and start using it. Maybe I can get it perfected by the wedding.

I'd guess you are a Spring. I said earlier than I'm a summer, but I'm a Spring - it's been years since I've seen the color wheel. If I wear the colors under spring - someone always says something about what I have on.
