I thought it would be a good idea to get my first ever spray tan the day before my wedding – it was a total fail
A WOMAN has evidence to prove why you should never try something new before your wedding.
Valeria Lipovetsky took to social media proving there’s a good reason people warn against trying new beauty trends before your big day.
We all want to feel our best on our wedding day and will go to any length to achieve that.
Whether it’s getting a haircut before hand or trying out a new make-up look.
But Valeria, a social media influencer, decided to try something a little different.
She wrote: “Me at 21 years old getting my first spray tan the day before my wedding.”
In the video, Valeria mimed: “It’s so bad I want to give you a zero, but that’s impossible.
“So I give you a one.”
She then revealed one of her wedding photos from the reception and it was clear she made a grave mistake.
While she did look gorgeous, the colour of her face was super pale compared to the rest of her body, leaving her with an orange hue.
The bright white dress she wore only made the tan stick out even more.
“And luckily we have LOTS of photo and video to remember it,” she sarcastically captioned the post.
The clip has since gone viral over on her TikTok account @valeria.lipovetsky with over 1.3 million views and 27k likes.
People were quick to take to the comments and share their thoughts, empathising with her beauty blunder.
One person wrote: “Hahaha! Ahhhh, to be young again and make such mistakes.”
Another commented: “I did the same for my prom, never again.”
Fake Tan Lovers Guide to Applying it Streak-Free
Here’s Fabulous ultimate guide to a flawless, streak-free fake tan that will leave you looking like you’ve just stepped off the beach...
Preparation is Key
A streak-free tan starts with proper skin prep. Exfoliate your skin thoroughly 24 hours before application. Focus on rough areas like elbows, knees and ankles to ensure an even canvas. Opt for an exfoliator with natural ingredients to avoid irritation.
Hydration Station
Moisturise your entire body right after exfoliating, but pay extra attention to dry patches. On the day of tanning, only apply a light, oil-free moisturiser to these areas a few hours before you plan to tan. This prevents the tan from clinging to dry spots and developing unevenly.
Formulate, Don’t Hate
Selecting the right fake tan product can make all the difference. Mousse formulas are easiest to apply and blend. Tanning drops can be added to your regular face moisturiser to match your face with your body.
Application O’Clock
Using a tanning mitt is non-negotiable for an even application. Dispense a small amount of product onto the mitt and apply in long, sweeping motions. Start from your ankles and work your way up to avoid creases. Apply sparingly on joints and use a fluffy make-up brush for your hands and feet.
Post-Tan Care
Once you’ve applied your tan, allow it to dry completely before dressing. Loose, dark clothing is best to avoid transferring colour. Avoid water and sweat for at least six to eight hours while the tan develops. After your first rinse, pat your skin dry gently and moisturise daily to prolong your tan.
“Yikes babe that spray tan with the bright under eye combo is something I truly don’t miss. But it’s a sign of the times lol,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Girl nooooo.”
“You look great but your spray tan artist should have recommended a lighter/more natural looking tone due to different lighting and your photographers edits,” claimed a fifth.
