No matter who you are, what you do or where you come from, going for that orange-peel effect is NOT a good look and should be avoided at all costs! By all means build a gradual, natural looking tan but be careful how far you go…there are certain stars you wouldn’t want to resemble!
Donatella Versace-As tangerine A-listers go, Donatella Versace is certainly the finest. As she flaunts herself along every beach in sight, this exhibitionist not only shows off her bittersweet skin tone but her fake, flabbing assets too! Whether she’s oblivious to the criticism she receives in every publication or frankly just doesn’t care, good on her for doing her own thing, whether that be aspiring to look like one of her own lambs leather handbags or just having fun in the sun.
George Hamilton-After his exploits in the jungle, we all love George Hamilton! However, his perma-tan is not a good look and only adds to his ageing looks and tiresome furrowed skin. A chemical skin peel would do George the world of good, however I’m not sure it would be strong enough to burn through his thick, deep-set hide. Never mind George, your copper coloured crusting only adds to your fun, flamboyant personality which we’ve all grown to love.
Valentino-Fashion mogul to the stars, Valentino, has inspired new looks worldwide and despite his age, is continuing on with his global success. His own look however is not one to imitate! Often referred to as an Oompa Loompa due to his exceptionally bright orange skin tone, whether it’s faux tan or that from a sunbed, it’s really not a good look! Making a spectacle of himself when walking the red carpet, the stars that follow in his shadow don’t seem to mind, as they saunter along dripping in his designer robes.
Jordan aka Katie Price-Queen of the sunbeds, Katie Price, could give any tango-ed celebrity a run for their money. Whether its bronzer from a bottle or that from an injection, it’s fair to say, she’s been every shade of bronze. Katie could add to her fortunes if she exploited her talentless skin tone to some major retailers, B&Q could offer their own shade card showing each unusual shade of brown which can be achieved. The thing to remember for Katie is, she won’t look young forever and that Botox she loves so very much, is not everlasting and can’t decrease the depth that her skin is rising to.
So if you’re planning a sun drenched holiday this year, don’t forget your sun tan lotion, whether it’s sun scorching holidays in the sensational Maldives, beach bumming holidays in the Costa Brava or family fun trips to Disneyland Florida. You don’t want to end up looking like these brass-based A-listers so look after your skin and come home with the shimmering bronzed beauty look!
