I've tried my fair share of self-tanners, and after several streaky outcomes, orange palms, and weird splotchy fading, I decided that I'd forever be stuck wearing jeans, even during the hottest summer months. I didn't want to offend or scare people with my white legs!
There is no way that I'd ever succumb to wearing pantyhose, just so that I'd be able to wear my shorts, or a dress. NO WAY.
So what's a girl to do?
Duh! Cover those legs with makeup! Creepy? Less so than you think!
I purchased a can of Sally Hansen Airbrush legs and went to work! After shaking the can, and spraying into my hand, I rubbed the brown liquid between both hands, and rubbed onto my legs. It covers nicely, without streaking, and allows enough time before drying so that you can make sure it's even.
After about 30 seconds, it is completely dry AND waterproof! This was the best part! No worries about it rubbing off on clothes, or dripping off if you sweat - and this is serious! The next day in the shower while shaving my legs, I can see it coming off, so it seriously lasted that long!
The ad mentions that it covers freckles and veins, but I don't see that happening without using a lot of the spray, and possibly looking like you have plastic Barbie legs. And while some of the ladies in town might be into that, I am not.
I first tried the medium color, hoping to make myself look more tan, but it was definitely too orange. I switched to the "light glow" color and it is perfect.
At around $12, I think this is definitely worth the price, seeing as how now, my summer will be spent in cute shorts and dresses instead of sweating it out in jeans.
Try it out and let me know what you think!
