I don't want to look like a science experiment gone wrong


I am considering trying out airbrush tanning for my wedding. I have been working out really hard and have noticed that my arms have begun to tone up a bit. BUT in pictures and such I never see any difference. It is like my arms look like twins of the marshmallow man from Ghostbusters (an American classic BTW).

Months ago I was told I should try airbrush tanning because it will help make me look better (skinner, cus I am vain) on the day of the wedding. I am nervous about this because I don't want to turn out blending in while standing next to WF when he wears hit favorite UT burnt orange t-shirt! All these places assure me that this is perfectly safe for fair skinned people and that they will customize a color that works best for me. I am very skeptical of this. Who is "they" really? Some chick who did not graduate from college is going to customize the perfect tan for me while carving out abs on my stomach with a paint brush? REALLY?

I don't know. I want to try it because I am super desperate to look hot on the wedding day, and for the honeymoon but I just don't know if I can trust it. I am willing to try it out in the next few weeks when no one will be seeing me. Any recommendations? Janet, Amelia and Kelly I am looking at you!

I mystic and LOVE it. Just take some time and try it out once or twice before the big day and youll know if you like it. Ive got some good tips to make it look better/last longer if youre interested, just let me know!

hey i have a girl's number who does organic spray tanning...used it in vegas and loved it/...LOVED it (especially at the pool)...went from SUPER pale to nice and tan...but decided not to for the wedding bc i wanted to look like "me"...not some super hot tan version of me :) in the end i felt better about looking pale next to my pale handsome husband, but you should try this girl this summer and see what you thing :)

I say give it a try, you'll never know unless you try! Don't sign up for a membership (they'll try really hard), just buy a package or 5 or so and see how it goes. I've been looking to do it too so let me know if you find a good place!

I say go for it! Maybe you'll love it; maybe you won't. But, at least you'll know either way.

Do mystic, it's the only kind I trust, I've gone to independant salons and come out looking dreadful. Expect to be orange the first 24 hours, then it'll all be fine, I mystic before every vacation and my wedding and any other big events...
