What can I do b/c I cannot really tan in a tanning booth? Rely on protan alone? Im afraid Im going to be too orange

You could always do the Mystic Tan a couple times.

Yes they feel a bit heavy and I would pick them off after a day

I wish i had something to add to this but I don't .. other than a waxing experience which is no better than anyone elses lol but no tweazers OUCH.

Thanks for sharing ladies!

I remember seeing pictures of a guy who won his competition while being green from whatever tanning agent he used. he was REALLY white to begin with, and didn't tan prior to the show. he won, anyway. not that this is going to help you, but it reminded me. lolol


sorry.




I don't know if this will work, but what if you used a good sunless tanning agent before applying the protan?

Este Lauder makes a good one - and I'm sure there are others that are just as good or better. My mom is totally white, and she swears by ban de soleil. makes her brown - not orange.

what I'm not sure of is if the protan on top of it will cause cracking or funny colors or whatever. someone else will know this, I'm sure.

There was a girl who was fish belly white who did my show and had gotten protan sprayed w/ several layers and looked pretty good on stage. The only way you'll know if you turn color is if you experiment w/ it. I kinda don't think you will -- the worst I've heard is when people use JanTana.

Why is protan so much better than dreamtan and why is dreamtan banned?

Protan goes on in several layers that you put on, let dry, then rinse off the excess, repeat. Dreamtan never really "dries" - its more like a cream you can put on literally AT the show. The problem is that it tends to also rub off on everythign that you touch or brush up against. Its just very messy. I imagine you could also leave a slime spot on the floor or soemthing and another competitor could slip in it or on stage as well.

oi, I wonder why they even make it anymore. thanks for the info!

I did see a guy at one of my shows use Dreamtan in the morning - or essentially sat around in it for about 4 hrs and then took a shower and looked pretty good w/o having the wetness. Frankly he looked too shiny when he just put it on -- sorta like he had just rolled in some curry.

I imagine people still use it for touch ups, photo shoots, etc. This stuff isn't just for BB...

 

[jenscats5]

I haven't heard of DreamTan being banned everywhere but it's probably venue to venue depending on how much of a mess was made the last time....


Buns - buy a bottle of Protan & experiment a month or so ahead of time on a patch to see how it looks.....

One girl here did not tan at all before her show and all she used was protan and Jan Tana. MANY MANY coats but she got dark, and she was stark white. Things you also have to consider is if the protan makes you turn a greenish color you may want another product like Jantana to even you out... I don't turn green, but a few of the other's girls did. I mixed both last year.


Fake Eyelashes rhinestones or not you're going to feel like you have giant spiders on your eyes... You will want to rip them off all day.

The easiest way to sum it up for me is to say total body makeover from head to toe. Did I leave anything out. lol
