    Hopefully some of you more style-capable bees can help me out here.  I've spent all summer running around playing sports and running outside and I have some pretty massive sports bra tan going on. What can I do to smooth this out so that I don't have ridiculous tan line going on when I wear my non-sportsbra shaped wedding dress?  Would spray tan or self-tanner help?  Some sort of makeup type application?

    I am pretty clueless, but evening it out by tanning (outdoors or not) isn't really an option since I'm just going to keep going outside getting these tan lines throughout the next 6 weeks anyway. (and am creeped out by the cancer risk)

    Loreal Sublime Bronze tinted self-tanning lotion in Medium works so well.  And because it`s tinted, you can see where it goes on (it goes on brown).  I have evened out lines with it before.  You can just apply it to the whiter parts, just make sure to blend!

    Def. try self tanner BUT try it well in advance so you can get an idea. You don't want to look streaky or orange in pictures.  Your best bet may be to do a spray tan. Just not sure how the coverage would work..I've never gotten one...

    Mystic Tan (the spray booth) or Loreal makes a product called Sublime One-Day Bronze.  It looks natural and stays on until soap touches it.  You can layer it until you've reached the desired shade.

    I would reccommend the self-tanner over the spray tan for sure.  I got a spray tan for the first time not that long ago and my hands/feet turned completely orange and it turned SUPER STREAKY.  It was the mystic tan too so it was supposed to be the good kind!

    ya try the self tanner. i got a spray tan (i know it wasnt the top of the line kinds but for how much the salon charged it should have been!) and the first day i was sticky, the second day after i showered every time i would sweat it would turn my clothes brown where the sweat pooled (armpits and by my bra line and such) and by the third day (second shower!) it was gone. i was so mad. the lady offered to re spray me at half price but why would i do that if it didnt work the first time!! i plan on getting the self tanner this weekend to test which one i like since we are going on a cruise. no one wants to see my pasty legs in baja mexico lmao

    Eek, OK.  I am definitely going to try the self-tanner stuff and soon.  Thanks for the input - I'll look out for the L'Oreal stuff. :)
