Make Believe/Fake Bake?

The guide colour with St Tropez can appear streaky and will rub off on towels ... however, once this has been washed off - it should leave an even colour.

thats what the woman who applied it said but it wasnt the case.
and looking at my friends who always wear st tropez it seems to be very similar to what mine looked like. i thought by getting a professional one it would be different but nope!

i swear by fake bake after using st tropez for years. fake bake is far better. the beyond bronze mentioned earlier on this thread is not the proper fake bake. the one to use is the dark brown oval shape "fake Bake"
you can get it on ebay for around £15
it never streaks.

Well an update, I bought some Make Believe on ebay (cheaper than boots and they were out of stock anyway) the other day and I love it, smells gorgeous and makes my skin feel lovely, the colour seems to be really natural so far aswell, no orange streaks in sight! I went for their tan extender though rather than the full on self tan, cos that's what I'd seen get good reviews. Anyone else tried any?

Having had Vitiligo for the last 24 years I gave up sunbathing about 10 years ago when the patches got really extensive and must have tried every fake tan available in that time. I bought professional spray tan equipment about 2 years ago and hubby does it for me in the shower - he's got very good at it! When I don't have time Make Believe has to be the best alternative I've ever come across and beats Fake Bake and St Tropez in terms of ease of application, smell and resulting colour. If you want a lighter tan Ambre Solaire Tan Maintainer is still the best I've come across and its a very good price, the newer Dove and Olay are OK but avoid Johnsons Holiday Skin especially the dark version it streaks really badly even with very careful application. Hope this helps!

Hi there,

I'm very pale and freckly too. I tried fake bake when I was matron of honour at my cousins wedding. Only on top though as my dress was long. Bit messy to apply and sleep in, but once washed off, I had a lovely bronze glow. I think it's gr8.

I also use Johnson's Holiday Skin, for an everyday glow and it's quite subtle! For pale skin make sure you get the Noraml to Fair Skin!!!

After you've exfoliated, rub a non oil based moisturiser into dry patches... like elbows, knees, heels... and make sure you wash your hands after you've applied it!

It will cling to dry skin and look awful.

I really can't get enough of my Make Believe, I keep putting it on and then just sniffing my arm It's actually a gorgeous smell, with all other tanning moisturisers I've tried it's smelt so bad I've only put it on when I know I'm not gonna be going out anywhere for the next 24 hours! :rolleyes:

I use the ones that built up over time.

If I was you I would go and get it put on you by a professional (that way, you are less likely to look like an Orange streaky mess) they exfoliate your skin, then put the fake tan on and then put a non oil based moisturiser onto dry patches.

Last time I got it done at Toni and Guy it was about £30 and lasted for 3-4 weeks
