8 fake tan formulas our fave celebs rely on for a flawless faux glow

Eagle-eyed followers were stoked to spot this Aussie fave in the back of one of Jenner's bathroom selfies, and with its rich colour payoff, soothing aloe vera formula and speedy absorption rate, it's easy to understand why she's a fan.

TBH 'glowing' is the first word that comes to mind when we think of Bieber, so finding out her favourite bronzing formulas is a big win. Her makeup artist spilled that the pair rely on the Vita Liberata skin tone-smoothing wash-off tan for an instant hit of colour and radiance, and she recently revealed her go-to face tan, too: "I use this Tan Luxe Water Spray on my face to give my face that little bit of glow. I love it," she shared in a TikTok.

"Everyone keeps saying 'you're tan!' and I'm like 'I knooooow'", Duff shared in a recent Instagram Story, revealing her faux glow formula of choice. This glow-boosting gradual moisturiser doesn't smell like fake tan (think citrus instead), won't stain sheets and offers a luminous wash of bronze-y colour that doesn't require the maintenance that darker tans do.

Confirming that she uses self-tanners as a safe alternative to tanning outside (smart gal), Kardashian revealed that this express mousse is her glow-boosting go-to. It develops in just an hour (but builds up to a deeper, richer tan in three), so it's a pretty perfect option for a busy mum of four.

Hough is another celeb who prefers a temporary tint, explaining to Byrdie that she likes to apply this tightening tanning lotion before getting dressed and then rinse it off at night. "It’s perfect because it's not too much colour [so] you don’t feel like you're caking on a big-time self-tanner," she said. Well, that's one way to avoid streaky sheets, right?

Ever seen Hadid without a flawless bronze glow? Apparently she keeps her colour topped up with this super long-lasting mousse. Designed to stay strong for a whopping 2-3 weeks (cue slow clap) thanks to its nifty pHenO2 technology, it's a velvety vegan option that'll make lining your social life up to your tanning schedule way easier.

Can't cope with the idea of marinating in your tan for hours? Apparently neither can Kardashian, who favours this speedy in-shower formula instead. Taking a leaf out of her tanning book is super simple; just shut the water off mid-shower, rub the lotion into skin as evenly as possible, and then rinse off three minutes later for a subtle bronze sheen.

"James Read Sleep Mask Tan is the best facial tanning product I've ever used. I can't stop using it," Huntington Whiteley explained to Teen Vogue of her fave face tan. Part skin care, part tanner, it's an overnight colourless gel formula loaded with hyaluronic acid and aloe vera that hydrates and bronzes in one hit.
