Let me start by saying that I am no fake tan expert. I find myself leaning on fake tan formulas only a handful of times a year. It's not that I don't absolutely adore the result, but more that I find the whole act of fake tanning a total chore. Clear tanning waters simply aren't foolproof enough for people as unexperienced as me (meaning I'm usually left with streaks) and gradual tanners always leave me orange-palmed. If I'm going to fake tan, I'm going to go whole hog and use the most effective foams and mousses, complete with guide colour to avoid streaks. And the single best fake tan I've ever encountered? Coco & Eve Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Foam.
I've been a fan of the brand's tanning products for years now. The tropical scent pleases my fussy nose, the formulas are hydrating, and I'm never left with streaks or patching. The single most exceptional thing about Bali Bronzing Foam, however, is the bronzed, glowing result. I have never, in all my years of testing fake tans, found one that has results as convincing. And, for the most part, I have kept Bali Bronzing Foam a secret. After all, the thing that ruins a great fake tan, I have found, is the moment people cotton onto the fact it's not real. And this Coco & Eve formula has never made anyone question the legitimacy of my tan—so I simply haven't felt the need to let them know it's not the real deal.
