what is the best fake tan?

I use St.Tropez fake tan, Especially the mousse one. Its very easy to apply and doesnt smell like traditional fake tan. Only downside is that its pricey. I was lucky that I was able to buy mine in a sale.

This may sound quite cheap but in the body shop, they have fake tans for 99p and its brilliant, does not leave no patches unless you apply it without going in circular motions, but if you go in circular motions, you will have no streaks & it does not smell.
It makes you look like you have a natural tan, cheap&looks real what more can you ask for?
Only bad thing about it, is that it drys quickly!!

I find that St mortiz tan which is 4euro in penneys is great. Its like st tropez but theres a BIG difference in price although the outcome is similar

Guerlain's Terracotta Self-Tanning Spray for the Body (Steep)

In 1984, Guerlain of Paris created the first bronzing powder they called "Terracotta." At $35 - $50 it's still one of the best spray tanners on the market. So how does it rate among testers?

Testers overall found it dried very quickly so they could dress within 5-10 minutes of application. Overall color was very natural, a brown color rather than orange and the tan deepened as the hours went on. No orange color reported. Smell factor was average like most self-tanners, some testers found the smell was less apparent after the first shower. One con is the price. This is not a cheap self-tanner.

L'Oreal Sublime Glow for the Body (Cheap)

This is a great, inexpensive gradual tanner. Testers found it best to apply product over the course of a couple days so the tan could gradually grow darker. Apply after you exfoliate in the shower and apply a thin layer of moisturizer.

Overall, testers loved the shimmer it leaves behind and the price. Some found the smell inoffensive while others found it strong. One con is the product tends to be runny and many testers would have preferred a pump. Still, this is a quality self-tanner for the money ($10).

Laura Mercier Bronzing Gel for the Face (Average Price)

Unlike other self-tanners, Laura Mercier's bronzing gel is meant to be used to enhance the tan on the face. The company suggests dabbing a bit on AFTER tinted moisturizer and BEFORE powders.

A bit pricier than M.A.C. and other bronzers on the market, testers found it's well worth the price. This bronzer provides a "just tanned" look with a touch of rose. Warms the skin and adds a spark of shimmer. $32.
