Tone it down
An orange tinge, especially in the winter months, will make you appear more fake than fabulous, so opt for a variant that suits your skin tone, like Garnier Ambre Solaire No-streaks Bronzer in Light, $16.69 (left), or Clinique Self-Sun Quick Bronze Tinted Self-Tanner in Fair, $30 (above).

Scrub up
The key to a flawless faux glow is all in the preparation, so model's skin was prepped with an exfoliant, such as Rodial 3 in 1 Body Scrub, $84 (above), or Sally Hansen Pre-Tan Exfoliator, $10.95.

Lighten up
The perfect alternative for alabaster beauties who want a touch of colour is to opt for moisturisers with a built-in tan. Try Johnson's Holiday Skin Daily Facial Moisturiser, $9.99 (above right), or Dove Summer Glow Body Lotion, $6.99 (right).

Polish up
High cheekbones and a perfect decollete needn't depend on supermodel genes. Fake it by sweeping an illuminating powder across your cheeks and collarbones. We love Missoni Face Highlighter, $120 (above), and Gorgeous Cosmetics Prism Highlighter in Ingot, $50 (below).

Stay smooth
Your hue will last longer if you invest in a rich moisturiser. A bevy of bronzed beauties kept their colour - show after show - by moisturising daily to ensure supple, streak-free skin. Try The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter, $25.95 (above).

Face facts
For a golden glow that any make-up artist would be proud of, apply a face-specific fake tan, like Ella Bache Great Facetan Without Sun, $34 (left), or Biotherm Sunfitness Anti-Fatigue Radiance Care for Face, $39 (right).

Hands off
Orange palms are a thing of the past, thanks to easy-application mist sprays. We love Neutrogena MicroMist Tanning Sunless Spray, $18.99, and L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Airbrush-Effect Self-Tanning Dry Mist, $21.45.
