ready y-yeah - okay three this is really
unpacked oh yeah hi I'm Lindsay Xiaolin
glamorous senior beauty editor this was
me ten years ago when I went spray
tanning literally all the time and this
was me last week when I tried to be a
spray tanner for the first time what I
learned it's actually much harder than
it looks but before I Pro taught me how
to do it
hi I'm Lindsay it's so nice to meet you
then I decided to give it a try myself
so when I first walked in I immediately
remembered barrier cream yeah maybe we
do your elbows
there are also sticky feet first one
okay I'm sure this has to be wrong this
is it's gonna be great sure I see oh
okay
wow I didn't even think to like I don't
even know oh my gosh oh I realized that
there's a button over here
[Music]
I mean it feels like it looks good okay
so maybe it's maybe we just start this
over
oh my god it was so bad I officially
went into panic mode and ended up
calling in Getti getting you know who is
a spray-tan expert with the brand Vita
Liberata and she came in to help save
the day I do you did I definitely knew
that I wasn't perfect going in and then
she showed me the sticky feet I'm still
Emma see if shows other the other way so
that is all the spray tan residue that's
inside the tent I could take a shower or
just wash up a little bit and then we
could start alright so once Raven came
back Getty showed me the right way to
spray tan so step one is preparation
before you step in hey let's do it right
on that sticky feet up not down right so
just so after the stick your feet you're
gonna have your client if they have like
long hair or place your hair up in a bun
or like in a tight ponytail and then
you're gonna put the cap on behind the
ear make sure that the hairline is
actually showing I noticed that you
actually knew what barrier cream was
right
you had an idea concavity forming I have
yeah so barrier cream helps keep your
spray tan nice and even these are areas
on your body that tend to be a little
bit drier and what happens is that the
solution will tan faster and drier areas
step two is to put your client into the
assumed position the position that she
was in was incorrect but I'll teach you
the right way
positioning her body position your arms
like you're pressing downwards bend the
elbow put your thumb in and then the
rest three four fingers just cover
perfect you're gonna have her poke her
butt a little bit so that we can get the
book crease how do you say that without
being like her
or how do you make people feel
comfortable just be their friend right
so I just make them feel comfortable I
do a lot of eye contact and one face I
would really like to use is all I see a
skin so if somebody says oh my haven't
shaved my legs oh I'm so sorry
I know I've gained a lot of weight I'm
like all I see is good so before we move
on any further I just want to clarify
what spray tan is and how it actually
works so a common misconception that a
lot of people have is that it's actually
staining your skin it's not so the
ingredient that tans your skin and the
solution is DJ which essentially reacts
with the amino acids in your dead skin
cells to make them appear darker step 3
is spray tan let's get started actually
I'm gonna make you a girl you showed me
the right way to spray tan basically you
want to start above their shoulders and
then you want to go down vertically
because it will just help give you a
nice even tan you just want to follow
the lines and contours of people's
bodies so there were a few special
techniques that you had to do based on
the different parts of the body on hands
you did one two three quick lines on the
chest to do a little contour this way
down to different times on your ribcage
you want to make sure that you are going
sort of like underneath to contour in
and then on your feet you would do an X
if she wants ABS eat a line going
downwards so then she made me do the
face start with the middle side we
called it the swoosh a little swoosh
this way swoosh that way all right I
think we're dying you know
Wow step four is aftercare so another
question people ask all the time is how
do they make their spray tan last for
longer I'll try not to you
oily products you want to hydrate and
try not to sweat it off go easy on the
workouts yep all right now that we did
her hair you have a few more to go right
I think I have a whole line of people
waiting and after Gettys lesson it was
time for me to go out on my own
so first let's put these on your feet
before you stand into the tent the
sticky part should go on your feet so
this is just to make sure you don't get
any of the formula in New York or just
hair great you look awesome all right I
am gonna get your knees now so don't
mind me I definitely wasn't expecting to
tan a man and a man with so many muscles
at that was it weird for you the first
time you had someone spray you
extremely you're in a room with like
seven boots like this but every guy in
there has a sock on there so I don't
know if you've heard but I'm fairly new
at this but I think I have become a pro
one of Gettys best pieces of advice was
to make sure that you make people feel
comfortable
let's have you take off your robe and I
can hang it up for you so next I am
gonna go down to your knees okay I
haven't shaved my legs before totally
fine all I see a skin okay one thing
they thought was really nice about Vinny
is that even he seemed a little bit
nervous gonna make you look great okay
this should be fun yes it'll be great so
the first things first is I'm gonna have
you pose your arms pulling your shoulder
blades back and then turn around we're
gonna start on your back no this is
gonna be a little loud a little chilly
[Music]
by this point I was a total pro my lines
were so much smoother I knew exactly
where to start and where to stop
so
[Music]
all right you look great how do you feel
feel good can I see this ham line sure
oh my god I'd high-five you but I don't
want to mess up that town I did
[Music]
so you want to make sure that you're not
gonna shower for six to eight hours I
know you're a bodybuilder
no gym so basically I just gave everyone
permission to go home and binge Netflix
for eight hours you look awesome I'm
really nailing this job
after hours of tanning Getty came back
to review my work and I gotta say I felt
pretty good about it everybody looks
amazing so give it to me straight
how did I do no you did really good
honestly yeah one thing that you've
really improved on was the overspray you
stepped back a little and noticed that
you were actually tanning from farther
apart I noticed that you made people
feel very comfortable you were joking
with them another think you tilting the
gun made all the difference yes you
actually remembered the routine which
was very very impressive yeah I think
you just overall nailed it amazing
grammars never gonna forget the sticky
feet again it was a good review but I
had to ask so the real question would
you hire me you at the top of my list
you today proved yourself you have hired
you are hired sarcolemma we took bone
from you we're taking Daniela
