L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Airbrush Self-Tanning Mist

The New Bronze Standard in Self Tanner

I was skeptical about airbrushing myself at home, but L’Oreal Paris has opened my eyes to a world of DIY bronzing possibilities. This airbrushing mist was easy to use, dried quickly and gave me a glorious but subtle just-from-the-beach glow. I was dubious about using the Medium shade (since I tend to fall in the “Ivory/Anemic” color category), but the color blended seamlessly into my warm undertones. I would definitely recommend starting slow with this one: Spray the first coat onto areas you’d like to contour (for example: inner thighs, tummies and the undersides of your arms), let it dry and give it a few hours. Then build on more as you like. Don’t blend the color; just let it dry as it sprayed on. (Trust me, it’ll look more natural this way.) All in all, I’m very impressed with this self-tanning mist – thanks for bringing airbrushing from celebrities to us average ladies, L’Oreal!
