Figure/Fitness/BB competitors. Let's talk about Beautifying for competition.

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.

I think it also depends on the kind of JanTana as the people I saw that got spray tanned with JanTana looked perfect. I might not mess with doing my own colour next show and just cough up the extra cash less stress that way.

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!

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

Hey Bunz - this is straight from a response to an email I sent to Jan Tana (at jantana.com):

I recommend none of my competitors tan in a bed or in the sun. My brother died of Melanoma and that is why I started making my products. She only needs to go on line at www.jantana.com and click on Competition Tanning and purchase the On Stage Hi-Definition Color Kit with Jenny Lynn picture beside of it. It will give her The Winning Color just like it does everyone else. She will look amazing.

Granted you can hear different suggestions from different people & their experiences w/ the various tanning products, so I thought, well shit, just like QT says - I've seen Jan Tana at shows doing complementary spray jobs and figured I'd ask the lady herself.

I personally have always used at least 3 layers of Protan after several weeks of tanning bed and never had problems. But that's my skin after my base building --- that may be completely irrelevant to anyone else's skin & base.

I'd say experiment. I'm sure LOTS of girls would love to hear true life experience w/ no tanning involved at all. Tanning will tighten your skin some, but otherwise, it does beat the shit out of los dermos.

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...

Dreamtan tends to work for people with dark skin like myself. The sheen works well against dark skin and highlights since that's what we need on stage as opposed to a lot more color.

LOL I see that little asain torcher queen normally she does my eyebrows not just for competition. It is called threading I like it better then waxing as it dosen't pull on the skin of the eyebrows like wax does.

Hair depends I put the clip in at my night show and liked that more then having it down. For BB I believe if it is longer then shoulder length you have to put it up. The other thing with hair down is it gets flat by the time the night show comes.

Nails I get a french manicure on both hands and feet keep it simple you don't want anything over powering.

For makeup I always go to Mac NW45 matches protan great last time I brought in my suits and got the girl to put a colour scheme together for me that was not to over powering. I really like what she came up with everything just poped. Fake eyelashes are a must but dam practice them with faux nails + faux lashes = royal pain in the ass to get on.

forgot to tell you -

when I pluck my brows, I put Anbesol on them first. It's a topical pain killer for your gums/teeth, but works excellent on the brows.
