Not only will sunless tanning give you that bronzed glow the healthy way but with just a few tips and tricks it’s also a great contouring product for an extra confidence boost. The day before starting your 'tantouring' journey, apply one layer of medium My Tan London Airbrush all over the body and face so that you have an even base to work with. Then, armed with our luxurious dark fake tan mousse, use the slimming and contouring tricks below to create the illusion of a more lithe body just in time for summer.

Contour your face with fake tan

Following similar rules to slimming your face with a contouring stick or bronzer, using fake tanner instead eliminates the need for heavy makeup whilst still giving you cheekbones to die for. Simply look in the mirror and smile to work out where you need to shade. Using a makeup brush or beauty blender gently press the darker shade of tan into the areas just below the cheekbones and up to the temple, under the jawline and onto the outer edges of the forehead where the sun would naturally hit. Press lightly when following these guidelines so as to frame your face naturally.

A killer cleavage

Cheat your way to a gorgeous cleavage by shading fake tanner in a half-circle over the top of your breasts towards your armpits and then in a horizontal line along your collarbone. Buff the tan along the edges to blend so that you achieve a completely realistic look.

Slim down your thighs

Using the darker shade on both the inner and outer areas of your thighs will give you added definition without doing leg lifts. Stand on tiptoes to see where the natural indent of your thigh muscles are and using a tanning mitt on this area, buff on an extra layer of tan to contour. Take it one step further by using a pea-shaped amount of tan and following the natural curve of each bottom cheek to fake a perter posterior.

Create biceps the weightless way

Fake tan can also be used to give the illusion of toned arms. Hold your arm out in front of the mirror and flex your biceps. Then blend product into the line beneath your muscle and onto the under part of your arm by the tricep. Muscles will look more defined and arms will look longer and leaner.
