Instead of tights?

Thanks so much for all the help! At least you didn't all have a fit at the idea of bare legs on the mother of bride.

Lots to think about, although the Sally Hanson may be out because we are staying in a b and b before the wedding and would be a bit paranoid about messing up the bathroom. Might have a word with the MAC girls when I get my primer and see what they have to say about the body foundation.

Thats a good idea, it was a MAC girl who suggested the shade we bought, I would have chosen differently but she was spot on even though the product wasnt in store at the time she really knew her stuff, they dont sell this product at all MAC counters though only the main ones, I had to order online.

I have used the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs and i love it, i have thin skin and you can see all my veins and thread veins - Airbrush Legs gives a lovely coverage. Think it's about £5 in savers. Also have worn it when its raining and no drama, although it's a !!!!! to get off when washing i ALWAYS end up with some on the towels

St Moritz fake tan from home bargains is good stuff, its about £2.99 and 99p for a mitt. I always get decent results from it as do my friends

I would do the spray tan I would have the whole body, as your legs will not match your arms and face and will look worse especially on camera. I would have the salon do the exfoliation as it spoils the tan if not done correctly. It won't be streaky, it won't rub off and will give you that natural sunkissed look that you want.

I wouldn't worry about the paper knickers, I'm 50 and it doesn't stop me :eek: it doesn't take long and the girls have seen it all before. Have a practice run before the wedding, if you really are bothered go to a salon in another town where you won't ever see them again and shut your eyes.

Now as for eyebrow threading no way hosay I would rather stand naked for a spray tan than have the pain of threading. I'd rather have them waxed, it's faster and less painful.

Enjoy the wedding.:)

Update on the fake tan! It turned out lovely, VERY natural - if I was going again, I'd have an extra coat on my legs as they're naturally paler than the rest of me naturally so they're still a touch paler. I can't see a single streak! Definitely worth the £25. It's St Tropez from Spa in the City in Glasgow, lots of places do it.

If you go for the Mac Face + Body, I'd love to know how you get on. I have discolouration on my legs and keratosis pilaris so I don't like getting them out without some sort of tan/coverage! The counter at House of Fraser in Glasgow definitely has it so I imagine other HoF counters should have it - it's quite a big one though.

glowgirl, I'll have to check out the 17 one when my Sally Hansen one is done, thanks. There's always ACM vouchers for 17 too!
