Westmore TS

It looks so yellow on everyone in the medium....like they have jaundice. You can not use any skin cream or oils on the skin either....and I am NOT GOING TO STAND AROUND FOR 20 minutes for it to dry down.

A NO FOR ME

To me it looks so shiny, too thick and so fake. It may be fine for someone who has real issues with coverage needed or performers on stage but can't see it for me. JM's illuminated body butter works fine mixed with her regular body butter give my skin a less harsh pasty look and the veins look less noticeable. The biggest issue for me is dry skin so definitely not for me. Reminds me of days past where majorettes used leg makeup and had to stand around waiting for it to dry.

I have some and tried it--like pancake makeup for the body--not a fan but might try adding a moisturizer to it for my legs---they are a fish belly white now--not that I am doing anything exciting---but they are blinding especially when our scare sun shines on them-----wa state is not known for the sunshine------

I haven't seen a presentation of this but I have found that one has to be very careful with these types of products. Sally Hansen makes a couple as well and they can give an embalmed look to the legs and despite claims to the contrary, if you sweat, the product will transfer.

St. Tropez makes a product called One Night or something along those lines that is a cream face and body bronzer. I have used it on my legs before when I was going out in the evening. It only comes in one color and it is not thick or heavy. I've never worn it outside in heat and humidity so I don't know if it transfers or not but the color is nice on my skintone.

The only product I've had success with is the Jergen's Gradual Tanning Lotion. I only apply to legs twice a week...light to medium shade. It takes no longer to dry than regular body moisturizer.

My only issue with Jergens is that it has one of the worst ingredient decks I have ever seen. Mineral oil, pertoleum parabens, DMDM Hydantoin.

Plus if you are out in the sun does applying sun products alter it - especially those who reapply every 2 hours.

I can't see using this unless you have a lot of very noticeable imperfections. It looks way too heavy and shiny. But if it helps someone's self-confidence then that's good. But it is a definite no for me.

Plus, unless you are an expert at applying any body makeup perefectly I wouldn't do it.

@Lipstickdiva They say that once it sets, you can bathe with it on... for up to three days.... but it is oil that breaks it up,... so no use of any moisturizer under it or any types of soap I guess with oils... Hmmm...

I wouldn't wear it if they paid me. I can't even watch the presentation.

And for me the jergens smell is horrible!

All of the self-tanners I have tried smell horrible even the lotions like the Jergens. In fact I tried the Jergens one on my legs one Sunday and while I was sitting at church I started smelling it. At first I thought I had on dirty panty hose, but finally realized it was the Jergens lotion.

I actually have this product. I use it whenever I wear something strappy even though I still usually end up with a shrug on top. It's to camoflage my farmer tan. I have been trying hard to get rid of it and right now it's mostly gone, but I'm sure once the weather warms up enough that I can no longer stand long sleeves while working in the yard it'll be back. I do wear sunscreen, but don't have time to reapply when I'm working. Plus, I despise the feel of sunscreen.

It takes a bit of work to get a good blend. If I apply it wrong I'll end up just making the farmer tan a little darker as well as the fake tan. But if I get it right it looks very natural. I apply it and then wear a light robe while I'm putting on makeup and drying my hair, so the time factor is really not an issue. I could not imagine trying to apply it all over. No way I could get an even coverage, plus it's just too much work for daily or every other day. Upper arms is really all I ever use it on.

I have seen a lot of women it would look better than pale bare legs when dressed up.
