Bare by Vogue Instant Tan - Dark 150ml

Product Information

Application: The tan must be easy to apply, not only because of the effort, but if it doesn’t blend easily… it will streak!

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.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!

It literally doesn’t matter what tan you buy, if you have not prepared your skin properly, it will not be nice. You can read all of my tips on how to prep for and apply the perfect tan here. Bare by Vogue: Dark Lotion Price & Size Using a tanning mitt, apply your choice of Bare tan (foam, instant, lotion) evenly across the surface of your skin 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. ApplicationI 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.' Recommended for light to medium skin tones or first-time self-tanners for a warm, subtle healthy glow. 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 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). 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 :pTop 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 ) 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. 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 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
