HG PRODUCT!!

I love, love, LOVE this! My skin is naturally kind of dark and I tan amazingly when I'm in good sun (like Caribbean sun... not like the sun where I live). Thing is, in winter or the start of spring, my skin loses its color and my skin looks gross. It looks like it should be pale... but it's not. It looks kind of sallow and blue-toned... I don't know how to describe it. But it's NOT pretty!

One day when I was getting ready for an event at a friend's house, she used this on her legs, arms, stomach... Everywhere. It looked AWESOME and SEXY. I used it as well, and it gave me the same result!! I washed it off with soap at the end of the night and was so pleased at the result, I went out and bought it. It's AMAZING it gives you the best tan look ever, doesn't leave streaks or orange-ness. I spray it on my hand and blend out or just directly on skin... Either way it's THE BEST EVER! LOVE IT!

AMAZING STUFF.

Wish I discovered this earlier. It has fantastic coverage, I've got it in Medium Glow and I'm about NC30. Nice golden colour, doesn't transfer and it's even waterproof but once you add soap, the product comes off so easily. It does have a slight shine but I actually like the shine because it looks fantastic at night.

It's so easy to blend and no shreaks whatsoever. Just either spray it directly on your leg in one spot and blend or spray it on your hands.

I wanted to try this for a while and I finally did today. i wasn't sure what color I should use because the medium says for "LIGHT to medium skin tones" I went with the Light Glow for "Fair skin tones" and let me say I am very glad I did. I'm Fairly Light neutral in Everyday Minerals, I was Fairly Light in BE, I am Sand Beige in Super Stay by Maybelline. My skin tans minimally, sometimes very well It's weird I'm a mix of a few very light races and a little Hispanic so my skin is very white at times and sometimes a little tan. Overall I'm pale. I'm glad I got the Light Glow.

This product is easy to apply. I sprayed it directly on my legs, even tough the directions say to spray on the hand, and then I used my hand in circular motions to blend. I didn't get any streaking. It made my legs tanner and it's the lightest color. Also it was very easy to blend because I didn't put it on my butt (sorry if this is TMI) but I blended it there and in the mirror it didn't look obvious just like a bikini covered my bottom so it didn't get sun!

My mother and sister couldn't tell there was makeup on my legs just that they looked a little tanner. It does sparkle a lot up close.


this is a lot like Bath and Body works Suntan boulevard 2-in01 bronzing shimmer and sunblock spf 15 but it is easier to apply and is supposedly water resistant. I also think it has better coverage. Both are shimmery though.
Bath and Body was 16 for 6fl oz (about 2 yrs ago when I got it) and this was 11.94 at walmart for 4.4oz). But I like the application of this better :)

I wish they made this w/o the shimmer for a more natural look but overall its a nice product.

I am going to go work out in it to test the water resistance of it :)


UPDATE:
Worked out in it (specifically my LEGS). Used sweatpants and socks and sneakers (and obviously shirt lol) and my legs look fine, the same as before (and they were sweating) but my feet are a little messed up around the ankle where the socks gripped and the inside of the socks was tinted in areas. I don't think its crazy noticeable and overall I'm impressed how it responded to working out!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS STUFF!!! I could not go out without it now, i use it all over my body on top of a fake tan such as st tropez or rockstar tan and it is amazing, makes my skin look flawless, I do not have enough good things to say about it!!
Although there have been rumours it causes cancer?!
Oh the only bad thing is its a sickener to wash off!!

But apart form that!!

I even use it when I go swimming to look flawless and it doesnt come off in the pool (i go to a university gym people, if u saw the men who use that gym u wudnt have a choice either!!)

absolute winner, HG!!

HG HG HG. Seriously, I never thought a spray on for my legs would be a HG, but it is. I'm pretty light, and I use this every time I go out. It looks amazingly natural, or at least like you've spent a little time in a tanning bed. I've even used this on my arms and shoulders (be sure you have a friend help you blend in and let you know if its even if you do try this, and apply deodorant after, not before) and it looked great and natural. This stuff is just pure genius. I don't like having to spray it in my hands, but since you have to blend it in anyways it is fine, and will come right off with soap and water to get it off your hands or if you go a little overboard. Absolute perfection!

I have pale legs that wouldn't tan in the Sahara desert...on a summer day...in 110-degree weather..right under the sun.
So when I saw this product at the store, I bought it immediately. I tried it the next day and followed the directions: spray lightly on hands and apply on legs. At first I loved the tan, airbrushed finish it gave my legs. And then when I walked outside, I looked down and saw they were shimmering. Yes, SHIMMERING. As if I had literally slathered my legs with glitter. I was hoping no one else would notice, but when I got to school my friends immediately asked me if I was channeling Edward Cullen in all his sparkling glory.

Definitely not repurchasing.

Makeup for my legs. I love it love it love it. Normally I hate my legs. They are way too muscular and don't tan at all - it's like they don't match the rest of my body. Anyway, before I had to rely on self tanner (which I still use), but now I can make my legs look sexy in an instant! What's great about the medium glow is that it makes your legs look GOLDEN. It's kinda like wearing pantyhose.


Just be careful because it can rub off a little. So ladies, if your guy has white sheets, make sure you wash off!! It actually cleans off fairly easily with moisturizing baby wipes!

I am a fan. I'm quite pale but my legs especially are ghostly white, with spider veins on my thighs, and freckles all over. My knees are darker, they're always kind of red, and it seems like I always have at least one bruise on my shin. I;ve tried self-tanners but I find them too streaky and inconsistent for long-term use. They start to fade/slough off in patches, leaving me with orange ankles and calves, and white feet and shins. Not cool. Anyway, I picked this up based on reviews I read here, and I'm glad I did! The coverage is teriffic, it really does look like I'm wearing pantyhose but without being totally opague. I can still see my freckles, they don't look like mannequin legs, but you can't see any bruises or discoloration. Super easy to apply, less than five minutes did both legs my very first try, so that's cool. Don't spray it into your hand first though. Spray it right onto your leg in smallish sections, and blend before it sets. I found spraying it into my hand made it go on streaky, and I felt like my palms were absorbing most of the product. It washes off easily, so you don't need to wear gloves. Thumbs up! my only issue is the price.. I paid $14 CAD at WalMart, which seems quite pricey to me, but if I get a lot of use out of the can, then it's worth it. Time will tell, I'll update if anything makes me change my mind.

I bought this on a whim at Walmart, and this has quickly become my HG summer product! I'm really PPP and NC15 in winter. I don't go out in the sun often and I rarely allow myself to tan. As a result my legs are almost always covered, so they are literally the colour of cement. They're white and pasty with purple veins. I rarely wore shorts in the summer because they looked so pale. White legs also seem to look a little bigger then they actually are too. Anyways, I sprayed this directly onto my legs and blended it with my hands and I can't get over how well this works. It works well for several reasons; 1. It isn't orange at all. Sunless tanners always leave me looking orange. 2. It really doesn't wear off. I can go swimming, take a shower and it still stays on. It never streaks throughout the day or transfers onto clothing or bed sheets. 3. I actually like the smell. It smells like pine needles, not anything like sunless tanners or sunscreen smells like. 4. In the sunlight, my legs look like Edward's face in Twilight; sparkly and glittery. It's definitely subtle though.
The only thing that is slightly annoying is that it also darkens my leg hair. I'm lucky to have fair blonde hair on my legs, and I can get away without shaving them for at least a week. When I put this on my legs it makes my hair darker, so I've got to shave my legs more regularly. I can totally live with that one though, because my legs look 10X better with this spray on.

Seriously another HG ive been restocking for about a year! My legs are pretty pale, I would say they would be like NW10 or NC15 ish. It covers all those little red bumps and discoloration I somethimes get from shaving. It gives a nice sublte glow and looks pretty natural. It does have a bit of shimmer to it, and if you get close you can tell but its not alot and it looks fine. I use this sometimes on my arms also and it looks great. The only thing I hate is the application, its annoying to put on since its kind of messy.

It does not transfer easily, you have to really rub against something vigirously for it to transfer a bit, like with a towel hard. I wouldnt suggest wearing a white short or dress with this tho just because the risk of it all night, but any other color is fine. I love it. Blends well and doesnt look fake. At worst it looks like you went spray tanning at a salon, I will deff buy again!

Thank God for MakeupAlley -- I never would have bought this if it hadn't been for the reviews here, and now I am so glad I did!
I shrieked at the orange-y streaks on my legs when I first applied, but once I spread it out evenly and let it dry, it looked pretty good. My legs are well shaped, but the skin is so blech -- white with random bruises. Now with this spray I look like an ad for Venus razors! (Well, sort of :)
I highly recommend this to anyone who doesn't go out in the sun enough to get tanned but still wants to wear a skirt once in a while. Very nice product!

Firstly I am super pale so this just on my legs doesn't really work no matter how much I blend it because of the paleness. I had hoped nude glow would have been light enough but it wasn't.

I bought this as a cheap slternative to mac face and body and the make up for ever version which are both too expensive for all over leg application.

BUT if there are any redheads out there who feel even gradual tanners are too dark then rejoice! I apply this with a mit all over and it really looks well. I then use a slightly darker foundation than my skin and I have to say it looks kinda natural

Love it! Thanks to this product Im no longer embarased to show my legs in summer. Even my boyfriend complimented on my legs, saying they are nice and juicy! When in fact he never saw my legs naked (without SH airbrushed). If I go out and wanna show my legs, its a must for me to apply this product. My HG

Really nice if you're looking for a sun-kissed glow, fast. With this product, it takes less than five minutes to get nearly flawless looking legs! It will cover up minor scars and blemishes, and even make stubble much less obvious. Your legs end up looking glowing and slightly bronzed. Please be sure not to cake it on, or the hint of shimmer it gives will no longer be a hint. I usually spray twice into my hand before I'm satisfied with the coverage. This product in combination with a self-tanner also works wonders. Another great feature is its longevity.... It will still be on days later if you don't wash with soap, and it won't transfer to your clothing once it's dry. Sounds perfect to me!

A friend of mine has been recommending this product for years, but I'm super careful about ingredients and a bit of a packaging snob so I declined. I finally bought this yesterday after refusing to shell out $59 for Guerlain's Terracotta spray bronzer at Sephora, used it this morning, and...WOW. Unbelievable! I'm super pale, with even paler legs, and not a fan of self-tanners, pantyhose, or the sun. This product does just enough to give me a healthy dose of color on my legs and arms, without looking obvious, orange or too bronzed. Plus, the color is buildable, so you can start slow and add more if you feel you need it. Some reviews mention messiness in the application, but if you follow the directions on the bottle (which say to spray it in your hand and then apply/blend with your hand) then you won't have that problem. I am not a shimmer/glitter fan, and while this product does give some slight luminescence due to the mica in it, it is extremely faint and actually enhances the look. Also, I haven't noticed any transfer onto clothing. All in all, I'm very happy with this product.

This product is absolutely amaaaaaaaaazing! I have very pale skin, especially on my legs. My legs almost shine like a mirror outside in direct sunlight! I never go out without pants, or pantyhose on, unfortuntely even in the blazing hot summer.

PROS: This product has a good enough coverage to where it makes my tiny flaws look invisible. Dark hair at the roots, even after shaving, slight discoloration, etc. But it doesn't cover enough to where it looks fake, freckles, slight bruising, scratches etc. Which is great, because I'd rather my freckles show through. Gives a slight tan, without looking orange. Long lasting, lasted through an entire wedding, as well as until the next morning.

CONS: It has a slight learning curve on how to apply. My first few times it looked extremely noticable, and fake. No matter how much I applied and blended. After washing it off two or three times, I decided to try it with lotion. I used a tiny bit of lotion, and some of the airbrush legs, and rubbed it in. Then I used the littlest bit more of the airbrush legs on top of the lotion and let it dry. It took longer than the estimated drying time, but the results are phenomenal.

I would very highly recommend this product. It's given me the confidence to wear shorts in the summer!

will I buy this again? hell yes.. I have twice! I live in Miami beach.. everyone is tanned, perfect & plastic. I like to tan.. but my legs are always blotchy, no matter what tanning products I use. This stuff saves me.. let me count the ways.
In the summer, anything more than a bikini top is too many clothes and induces sweat from every pore. My daily outfit consists of shorts, a tank top & sandals. My legs are always showing. This makes my legs look incredible! I'm a bit of a perfectionist & this looks flawless. I look like I have perfect skin. I can even wear white shorts and this lasts a good 5 hours before it starts looking a little less than perfect & doesn't rub off on my light colors. I don't know what I'd do without this. Good shit.
