Airbrush Legs by Sally Hansen Light Glow 75ml

Product Information

Now to be fair, Light Glow is not a terrible shade if you want to go bare-legged and you’ll never see 60 again. It is foolproof to apply, just spray it into your hand (not directly onto the legs as I always thought) and it does blend in seamlessly. It evens out skin tone and will cover light blemishes, bruises and tiny veins. Doesn’t not rub off and will last a couple of days. ( A COUPLE OF DAYS? THAT’S ME SCRUBBING AWAY IN THE SHOWER TONIGHT WITH A BRILLO PAD THEN). True, the main thing I had a problem with it is the unnatural looking shade, the ‘Light Glow’ shade IS American Tan, which IS orangey and fake looking – that’s indisputable.

Much better than fake tan, you spray this on and legs look perfect! just have the ‘look’ of wearing good quality sheer tights, ( NO, CHEAP AMERICAN TAN ONES) but ‘freedom’ of bare legs, instantly smooth and dry! I was a little too hasty posting the above negatives about Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs, because, used properly (well, MY way), it’s a really clever time saving product. Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). What’s not so great, apart from the colour, is that it’s matt. It looks very flat and unnatural and just screams “ LOOK AT ME, I’VE GOT THE WORST FAKE TANNED LEGS IN THE WORLD!“Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication.

You can also layer it over itself. Sometimes, when fake tan goes streaky and you apply another thin layer on top to even it out, you make it a million times worse. Airless Legs behaves itself and you can apply another flawless, fresh coat. If you do want a little shine, then apply a shimmering bronzer powder on top and suddenly you have legs that look natural and sun-kissed. I love the Tan Glow as I am dark-haired but I think if you are paler than the ight or medium would be better. Also I bought the Deep Glow once…never again it was a complete nightmare I thought it was orange. ( IT WAS ORANGE!)However, apply it over fake tan (especially if it’s gone all streaky) and it will even out the colour and add a polished (but not shiny), dimension to your legs. I’m impressed by the longevity, it DOES take a while to scrub it away and actually, if you don’t wash it off, it will last 3 proper showers (using shower foam) before it starts to fade.
