I’m a make-up artist & used a Wilko paint roller to apply my fake tan – everyone’s surprised by the results

WHEN it comes to fake tanning, we’ve all got our own personal technique that works well for us.

But one woman has come up with a method more unique than most – and chances are you haven’t given this one a go yet.

Makeup artist Lucy Cathryn, who is from Wales, took to TikTok and shared a short video where she can be seen applying her mousse-based fake tan with a paint roller from Wilkos.

In the clip, she can be seen wearing a boob tube top, before squirting some fake tan into a paint tray.

“Are you ready for this?” she asks.

Lucy then rotates the roller into the fake tan, before applying it evenly to her skin.

And she appears delighted with the results, adding: “Honestly the best way to apply tan I’ve ever come across.”

Lucy captioned the post: “I used a Wilko paint roller to apply my Doll beauty fake tan.”

The post has since racked up a whopping 889,000 views and been flooded with comments from amused social media users.

“Thanks for this life hack we’ve all struggled to tan our backs girls,” enthused one.

A second quipped: “Omg why didn’t I think of this especially doing my back! Brilliant!”

A third commented: “I got told Nitrile gloves are a good shout for even coverage too – this is brilliant.”

Meanwhile, a fourth joked: “I work for Wilko and I’m gonna have to send this in my work teams meeting.”

Another called it a “genius idea,” while someone else admitted: “I’m going to start doing this!”
