ba careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sometimes it may be great in person but look awful on camera. for flash fotos, a 'subtle' tan will still look pale and white, and you will need a strong tan to show up. however this may look orage in person and your date may need sunglasses. the way round this is to wear BRONZING POWDER in EXACTLY the shade u want to look , perhaps on top the fake tan. powder absord light (hence why u look matte) and will come out exactly the same colour on the photo as in real life
There are loads of fake tan threads around at the moment, and this month in Cosmopolitan they have tested every fake tan. Seriously, they have tried about 30 of them, even though they only write a paragraph on each one they are given titles like 'best for a night out' 'best for pale skin' 'best for first timers' etc.
Whenever I use fake tan (it is a rarity) - I use The Body Shop strong variety. My mum uses some Clarins products. I find Piz Buin a bit sticky, but it has nice results.
