It’s summer and I know you all are trying to get that glowing tone in your skin to suit the season! Here are some questions I received recently on tanning. I hope you find my answers useful!…

Hey Kim! I love your glowing skin, you always have the perfect tan!!!… What is your personal opinion about sunless tanning??? Love you!!! xoxo

I tried sunless tanning one time, right before New Year’s Eve. I was tan and it was great, but I felt a little orange. I have a hard time not showering for 8 hours with that tanning stuff on. I am Armenian, so I naturally have an olive complexion. I want to try the spray tan again sometime.

I was wondering do you tan at all?

I know spray tanning is better, but I have only tried it once. I definitely love to lay out in the sun and tan when I’m on vacation!

Hi Kim, I just wanted to let you know that you have beautiful skin and you give great info about makeup and stuff. But I wanted to know if you like to go indoor tanning or do you think it’s too bad for you skin? Thanks xoxo

I do use a tanning booth, maybe every six months or so, once or twice. I do it if I need a tan fast! Spray tanning is obviously a lot better for you!

Mona says:
Hey Kim! I’d really love your “sun-kissed” look, what is your favorite make-up bronzer to use on your face/body??


I love MAC bronzers! I try to use a darker pressed powder like NC45, instead of bronzers with shimmer, because it tends to look to shiny sometimes.

    Do NOT use mac bronzer’s they suck and will turn you orange. You can use bronzer’s with shimmer but you have to apply it as a highlighter meaning you don’t cover your face in it. Nars has some really nice powder bronzer’s casino, and laguna. You should before you apply the bronzing powder use a moisturizer mixed with an illuminator to give off a raident glow. You can also mix the illuminator in with your foundation if you wear it. The best spray on tan is at a salon or spa it’s called an airbrush tan sorta like body makeup.

    Khole is Armenian, shes not olive.

    I’m 100% Armenian and im very pale like marilyn Manson, not all armenians have olive complexions. both my parents are pale and have blue eyes and are 100% Armenian.

    Also for pale people i found loreal sublime and jergens daily glow to work best, they dont make you orange..

    ive used maybe about 30 sunless tanning products and those work best.

    Dont use Jergens express makes you orange use the daily version.

    Also Dont use tanning booths they lead to skin cancer and also cellulite.

    Bronzing powders on the body are kind of nasty cause they rub off, esecially if your caught in the rain..

    i really reccomend the Loreal sublime and Jergens Glow..

    I love Kim but she didnt give good advice for this question

    Kim you are HORRIBLE at answering questions sometimes. People need to look up their questions on google, or at least you can go to yahoo questions and at least 20x people will answer your question within a few hours (it can be anything)
