I'm rubbish at applying fake tan - but this one is so easy

The summer is over which means we won't have that natural glow on our skin for many months to come.

Now is the time to whip out the fake tan if you don't want to put your pasty white skin on display. However, what if you're a bit rubbish at applying fake tan?

We have all walked through Dublin and witnessed blotchy, streaky, and sometimes full on oompa loompa limbs trotting down Grafton Street. It's not a great look.

I am ones of those people who always struggles to get an even tan - and if I'm being honest I'm usually too lazy to make the effort. But this weekend as Dublin got some last minute summer rays, I decided to try Sally Hansen's Airbrush Legs Makeup and I couldn't believe how easy it was to apply.

It literally took a couple of minutes, it went on smoothly and not a blotch in site. Ideal if you are in a rush and don't have time for a big exfoliating/showering process.

The leg make-up is a bit thicker than your usual tan, but if you have marks or veins that need covering up then it's brilliant for a smoother finish.

I used the light shade which was lovely and warm. It lasts surprisingly long (unlike the make up on my face which is generally gone after a few hours). This lasted the full day and night, and actually looked decent the next morning.

At just under €17, Sally Hansen's Airbrush Legs Makeup is well worth a go and might keep you in your summer dresses for an extra few weeks.
