Advantages: Looks great, easy to use, even colour.
Disadvantages: Can be a little messy

...used a lot of various fake tans over the years (having resorted to the highest SPF factor I can find). I was browsing the internet one day and came across a site for Fake Bake, it sounded worth a try so I went to my trusty hair and beauty site (http://www.salonlines.co.uk) and they had it as always at a great price and next day delivery. (Please see my previous posts on Salonlines - They have every hair and beauty product you ever want at cheaper ... Read review

Advantages: Good sized Bottle, Colour Guide
Disadvantages: Thick Texture, Hard to spread product evenly

...me! :) I First noticed fake bake a few months ago and decided to do an internet search on it, Of course being easily swayed by the mention of fake bake having a few celebrity fans who apparently swear by it, i decided to give it a go. The bottle itself is brown in colour and is a lot less garish compared to some fake tan bottle /spray packaging i have seen, which i must admit gave me some confidence! It has a gold stencilled image of a woman ... Read review

Advantages: Natural Deep Colour
Disadvantages: Price

After using tonnes of high-street fake tans I was very apprehensive about trying Fake Bake but decided to give it a go. The first time I purchased Fake Bake was from www.lookfantastic.co.uk and was in a set which included Fake Bake original lotion, body scrub and body oil and I was left with not much change from £50.00!! I thought it must be something special at that sort of price. I followed the instructions that came with it and started off by ... Read review

Advantages: end effect is a lovely, deep colour
Disadvantages: hard to apply

...:) I have been using different fake tans for as long as I can remember, and decided to give fake bake a go after hearing good feedback from friends about it. ( I wouldn't usually spend so much on tan - its over £15 for 170ml bottle - but it was on offer in my local chemist!) I had a mixed experience with it, both good and bad. One of the bad points was applying it. Like with all tans firstly I made sure to wear gloves. Putting it on I found ... Read review

Advantages: Fab colour, colour guide, in my opinion fool proof
Disadvantages: makes bed sheets yucky

...you use the purple authentic fake bake gloves (often free with the product... if not also available to purchase on EBay for not much.) It is essential to prepare your skin before application; it ensures the tan works the way it’s intended to. 1. I usually shave and exfoliate and moisturise REALLY well the day before. 2. .I always apply after a shower, applying a nice thick moisturiser (like palmers coca butter, I use this) on feet, ...

Advantages: No streaks if applied properly
Disadvantages: Makes you orange, hard to get the product out the bottle

I would not recommend fakebake at all! At least not for those with light hair and eyes! The product was really easy to apply and did not streak, but when I washed the colour guide off the next day, I was well and truly ORANGE. This may be due to the fact I am quite pale anyway, or that I have blonde hair and blue eyes which may accentuate the colour, but I certainly will not be using it again. It also faded away patchily, and as the bottle gets empty ... Read review

Really messy to apply and when I wash off the next day I have hardly any difference in colour. It's better than St. Tropez but not worth the money.

Advantages: Natural looking colour
Disadvantages: Quite thick to apply

...quite a pale person so fake tan usually sends me orangey and not the golden brown i wish for, that was until i discovered Fake Bake. I applied it as per the instructions and despite the smell that always comes with fake tan i felt quite hopeful after hearing how all these celebrities rated it. Be warned it is quite thick and gloves are a good idea when applying.I tend to buy cheap gloves from the chemist and not the ones they sell with the product ... Read review

Advantages: COLOUR GIDE, LASTS LONG, NO BAD SMELL
Disadvantages: TIME CONSUMING

...up this morning after using fake bake for the first time last night. I read many reviews on the product and was a little nervous to be totally honest!! I made sure I was fully moisturised and started with the legs WEARING GLOVES! The lotion is dark dark drown and very thick. It dries/stains quickly, so just concentrate on the one area you put it on to (I put some on my shin and then on my thigh ready to rub it all in...but it stained by thigh as i ... Read review

How to apply Fake Bake properly: First EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE! If you don't do this you are just putting tan onto dead skin ... Read review

Advantages: the colour is perfect
Disadvantages: the preparation can be boring

...of the name of the fake bake product and in my opinion, its the best for colour you wont find a more natural looking colour than the fake bake, it goes on your skin the same colour it dries and you have full control over the intensity of the tan you want, which is very important when your using it for an exra bit of colour or if you have a special occasion, and want to look like youve just stepped off the beach! must be applied with thick plastic ...
