You're Golden

Sun FX Tan

As if the bronzed palms and scary pale spots weren’t enough of a giveaway, you just ran into your six-month crush while leaving the sleazy tanning salon.

There goes the whole natural-beauty act.

Makeup artist Samantha Edrick has created the best approach to faking it you’re likely to find. First of all, no nasty airborne chemicals or smells: Samantha uses Sun FX products, made from natural vitamins and minerals, and applies them with a spray machine. Second of all, no missed patches or unwelcome tan bits. Samantha distributes your color carefully and thoroughly and will even leave you with a can of your own for touch-ups. And no chance of ending up an Oompa Loompa, because the products are designed to bring out the natural melanin in your skin. So your tan will be exactly as dark as it should be — and the perfect tone.

The kicker? Samantha comes to you and does it all in the privacy of your home. You’ll never risk embarrassing run-ins again. Though we say, if the guy disses you just for that, forget about him.

Everyone knows a girl’s got to fake it once in a while.
